There's two things that come to mind about this thread. Firstly, as mentioned above if there are two kinds of people willing to buy tickets (some at a higher price) then why isnt QF domestic with nice 737s, J class and full service Y class competing against Jetstar to the Sunshine and Gold Coast? Could it be that they would make Jetstar unprofitable, i think so. Secondly, on Honolulu if there is enough people travelling there to make a 767 and A330 profitable wouldnt it be more economical/profitable to send a high capacity 747 with increased frequecy? Lower crew costs , more freight space, and i would suspect happier paxs. As Jetstar now has an agreement with Air Canada for their paxs to go on Air Canads flights to Toronto and Vancouver why hasnt QF done the same?
