Read the fine print!

It has to be a jetsaver fare.......and must be scheduled to depart within 1 hour of the applicable Jetstar flight's scheduled departure time.

Re 'THOSE' Fares......

I saw the J* ad. on Perth telly t'other night, and was sure the ad. said
'To The SAME Destination'.........(implication being from Perth, I guess??)

Does this also imply 'From the SAME DEP point'??

Who else DEPs/ARRs @ 'Sunny Avalon'..???

Maybe I'm just a cynic - after aallll these years......

Cheers

Wow airlines matching each others fares

The only difference with the now to then is that in the past it was QF/AN setting fares at astronomical prices

Now its QF, Like a Tiger and no doubt soon VB matching fares at the lower end

At least with 3 established operating airlines, maybe, just maybe the fares will remain at an affordable rate year round and not skyrocket in the busy season such as school holidays

Time will tell but its gotta be a good thing pitty their not flying old 727's at least they would then roar like a Tiger

So i guess now it just comes down to how many seats each airline is prepared to offer at these prices on each flight.

Again; another negative, derogatory, opinionated, Melburnian xenophob.

"They do not even have a aus aoc yet......a little prem I think on all the chat..."

Are you suggesting they will not?

"Do they even have any oz pilots yet, other than the ones in sing already!!!!!!"

Answer-Yes. The first 5 aircraft (of the 60 destined for Oz) are already assigned experienced Airbus Australian crews. The remainder are filling very fast with balanced, normal, experienced gentlemen (and ladies).

Now please be a little more positive for your Australian brothers who have a very well paid job back in Oz.

Unome,

I'll believe it when I see it....

I wish them all the best, I really do. But they are going to have to offer super t&c's to get the experienced crews they need...

Can't see too many guys leaving aus airlines yet.....maybe in 2-3 years if they are sucessful.

Why are they going to have to offer super t&c?. I wasn't aware that the established airlines were offering anything too flash at the moment. Surely it wouldn't take much effort to beat the current t&c's out there. And correct me if I am wrong, but aren't almost half of the VB pilots now working under conditions that they are not happy with. (look at the EBA vote).

Isn't this cut price cavorting the same caper that put paid to Compass I & II??

Personally, I would go out of my way to fly with an airline other than Jetstar - so Tiger don't have to slash their own throats just yet.

So much for J* matching the price of Tiger. Just went to book for my family to go on holidays between Melb & Drw and for the whole period between Dec & march on tiger you can get the cheap $80.00 not so on J* you only get limited flights during non peak periods such as mid week.
