The Bunglerat
for example i recently wanted to travel to hobart....so i compared prices between Virgin, Qantas,Tiger and Jetstar. All three were priced the same..i think it was about $75 one way. anyway i chose virgin. virgin is my airline of choice. but if you knock back tiger..then we have qantas, virgin and jetstar...qantas is too expensive to travel, so that leaves virgin and jetstar...prices are going to rise, so that hobart trip will end up costing me a lot more. i think competition is simply healthy.
i do understand what you're saying and you make sense. those $2 fares tiger offer, look it does sound ridiculous considering staff do need to be paid , and airport costs etc.
