all airlines are feeling the pitch, 1stly
1) Brussels happens & a certain % of people will not fly anywhere especially to Europe
2) Australia is broke, the govts that is. Fed budget in a few weeks. There's no money to be thrown around, but taxes must go up, spending must go down, especially on overgenerous welfare
3) fed election 2 July. Everyone in business, plays wait & see.
So in other words, for next 72 days, airlines will be tripping over themselves to give away seats.
Hell just got an email saying $900 return to NYC from BNE, SYD & MEL & $990 return to Europe from PER & a $100 more from east coast.
If Labor gets in, watch a few more domestic airlines shrink & international airlines pull out of Australia (not politics, just business has no confidence in Labor to control spending/fix economy)
Really interesting part will be who will control the senate ?
ALA ?
That new seniors party ? Who ?
