Jetstar to charge for ‘up front’ seats
As mentioned earlier Jetstar are merely taking advantage of a 'perceived' benefit that has been used by many airlines overseas already.
If they can sell it for whatever they can I have no problem.
My own VB astounded me when they sold Premium Economy to Joe Public when JP was not even entitled to free water on board.
NOTHING!
Yep they paid for everything including the nickel and dime headsets as well as watching rows around them being converted back to normal economy to facilitate 3 passengers per row and 'economy' passengers being 'upgraded' to the 'Premium Economy' seat next to them.
And for paying an extra couple of hundred bucks each way they had the privilege of boarding first and to be trampled by the next 179 punters and screaming kids.
If Godfrey or his equivalent in Jetstar start marketing sand in the Middle East I will be one of their first investors.
As an aside - just maybe these "Premium seats" will help keep the Staff Travel fares down..............Now I'm dreaming!

but then you get to taste the arse of every passenger in front of you when it plows in nose-first, boardpig.
boys up the front will be doing the best to save their own backsides, i know i would be.
i love it when passengers jump in my plane in the back saying its "safer". i just say the safest seat is mine, because its my arse thats on it and im going to be looking after it!
but yeah paying for seats just to get off the plane quicker? no thanks not for me, my time isnt THAT precious!

Take The LCC Challenge
I would like to know whether the extra 'seat service' for your 'extra buck' also means these 'premium' seats receive an extra cleaning ?
Just for sh*ts and giggles, on your next flight I challenge the unitiated to reach with their hands down besides the seat cushions, and even under them if you can sneakily lift them up. You will find a huge amount of hair, food stuffs like lollies, gum, bits of bread crusts, gum, more hair, and the occasional dried out chunk of spew !!
A further challenge would be to run an ultra violet light over the seats if the cabin lights were dimmed low enough, now that would reveal an interesting selection of secretions !

Update
In response to airsupport,I have failed to add Full Service Carriers to the list, as well as the seats in Cinema's,buses,trains,taxi's,some restaurants,airports,frat houses,some 'men's establishments',and not to mention what is often found under and within the nooks and crannies of a teenagers bedroom.
Hep shots anyone ??

I thought you were having a dig at LCCs in general, as you now say, these things happen everywhere.
