Jetstar - Perth to where?

[Ultergra]

New international destination to be announced today..

Perth to where?

I think Perth- Hong Kong

Ties up with new Jetstar Hong Kong.
Qantas recently pulled out from that route..

[PPRuNeUser0198]

It's not Hong Kong...

[h.o.t.a.s.]

Possible Per - Lombok and perhaps Bali - Adelaide.

Both were (prematurely?) printed in the inflight magazine on the route network graphic last month.

Not sure if they're still in this months edition.

[goodonyamate]

a re timed per hkg will be back in QF colours soon...:ok:

[Comoman]

News on the radio this morning said Perth - Lombok 4 x weekly.

[regitaekilthgiwt]

With Qf opening a long haul pilot base in perth has anyone heard anything more about more Qf flying originating in perth?

[PPRuNeUser0198]

Four flights per week, from September 24.

[boocs]

"Ties up with new Jetstar Hong Kong."
Which has since been given an indefinite hold on a start date

"Qantas recently pulled out from that route.."
And Cathay are loving being the sole operator on that route.

Jetstar to launch non-stop flights to Lombok from September^ (http://www.jetstar.com/mediacentre/latest-announcements/detail?Id=f526af2d-3f39-4f8a-9483-d970a46c399d&language=en)

[ResBunny]

Jetsar says: "first ever non-stop service between Australia and Lombok"

Does anyone remember when National Jet operated non-stop flights in a 146 from Darwin to Lombok? (Ok the Indonesians have shifted the airport in the
meantime, but still, it's the same island).

[Ex FSO GRIFFO]

This 'Pop-up' says fares from $119, 'One way economy starter fares' to commence 24 Sept......

We're taking off to Lombok! (http://email.jetstar.com/pub/sf/FormLink?_ri_=X0Gzc2X%3DWQpglLjHJlTQGsHDGkpnSYrJ2zgt7mLKSU1d DzaH4B7fKi76ijzdnVXMtX%3DWQpglLjHJlTQGtW2o3aESpGzck4jGiOzfwb zcMh88hi4cLdCTbeRR&_ei_=Eiei0SwBYmiCSOBBYsv6Fp0).

Certainly sounds cheap enuf - if you want to go to Lombok....

Would a 'return' boat trip be a bit less..??
Cheers :}

[porch monkey]

Jesus Griffo, not at the prices I've heard quoted about for the boat trip!!!

[Ex FSO GRIFFO]

Boat Trip.....$10K out.....$10 bag of rice, back......

:E :rolleyes:

[porch monkey]

See mate? Nowhere near $10010 for a return trip!!!! However, If you throw in the $3500 odd go home money, and the other add ons while your here, and I guess it could come out line ball. At least you would only have to put up with the muffins one way....

Yep,

NJS used to go Darwin - Lombok - Jakarta - Singapore - jakarta - Bali - Broome I think it was. twice weekly.

[Mstr Caution]

Has Lombok come about cause Jetstar are pulling out of the Perth-Cairns route thereby freeing up an airframe?

[PPRuNeUser0198]

Jetstar Australia has taken a number of deliveries of late, including some more for this year.

[Mister Warning]

So 48 hr layover in Lombok? Sweet. You guys deserve it!

[training wheels]

I guess most of the passenger traffic will be holiday makers from Australia. Most locals from Lombok who travel overseas are blue collar workers heading to Singapore, Malaysia and the Middle East to work as labourers or domestic helpers. Lombok is pretty much the 'Boganville' of Indonesia.

[moa999]

Perfect fit for the likely pax from Perth, on their regular work breaks....
Just hope Lombok doesn't become like Bali.

[PPRuNeUser0198]

So 48 hr layover in Lombok? Sweet. You guys deserve it!

I'd say this is a return duty from Perth?

[jarden]

Mstr Caution...JQ will can the PER-CNS route on 28 October over a month later after the new Lombok flight begins.

[PPRuNeUser0198]

Where do you get that information from?

[poonpossum]

JQ will can the PER-CNS route on 28 October over a month later after the new Lombok flight begins.

Really? That's a shame. A lot of people enjoy that route. Looks like the plane is completely packed every time I see the line / fly the route myself.

[AEIO-540]

Jarden and Mstr Caution that is complete Rubbish Jetstar are not pulling out of CNS-PER :ugh:

[Ted Nugent]

AEIO-540, that's what was published in the West Australian the same day the Lombok flying was announced, are you saying old mate Geoffrey Thomas has his facts wrong? :E

[PPRuNeUser0198]

He has his facts wrong. It isn't that market.

[topend3]

That would be the first time ever GT has written something in the West that isn't true...:E

[virgindriver]

Maybe Qantas will do the Cairns Perth again?

[Eastwest Loco]

PER CNS is still in the system and saleable into late November on the 4 a week existing schedule.

Best all

[jarden]

That is good to hear its not going to be cut. Just shows you can't believe everything the papers say.
