Jetstar to charge for ‘up front’ seats

[ad-astra]

As mentioned earlier Jetstar are merely taking advantage of a 'perceived' benefit that has been used by many airlines overseas already.

If they can sell it for whatever they can I have no problem.

My own VB astounded me when they sold Premium Economy to Joe Public when JP was not even entitled to free water on board.

NOTHING!

Yep they paid for everything including the nickel and dime headsets as well as watching rows around them being converted back to normal economy to facilitate 3 passengers per row and 'economy' passengers being 'upgraded' to the 'Premium Economy' seat next to them.

And for paying an extra couple of hundred bucks each way they had the privilege of boarding first and to be trampled by the next 179 punters and screaming kids.

If Godfrey or his equivalent in Jetstar start marketing sand in the Middle East I will be one of their first investors.

As an aside - just maybe these "Premium seats" will help keep the Staff Travel fares down..............Now I'm dreaming!
