In line with Emirates, all Qantas business/first class international long haul passengers will have Limos to and from the airport.
And apparently shortly there is to be an announcement that the 787-8s that were for Jetstar, in line with the premium product tie up with Emirates, WILL be flown domestically in Qantas colours to offer a high quality business product. Further more, the -9s will be for expansion by Qantas into Asia from 2016, providing connectivity to Emirates services to Europe through SIN,HK, BKK, SGN etc. This is from a very, very reliable source who hadn't been on the source!
Maybe, just maybe things might be starting to change for the better. Obviously Joyce has pissed Dixon and Co off (read into Singletons rant), so obviously no private equity deal on the horizon there! So now the focus on Asia will be about a premium product and loyal premium passengers not just a bunch of thong wearing lowbreeds!
(My guess is the A320s of the loss making Jetstar Int will be repainted Qantas and the interiors reconfigured to a premium product. Jetstar Domestic to remain strong Domestically as it does a great job with the leisure market and competes dominantly against Tiger and hampers any of Tigers grand expansion plans).
