SO, who to fly with this time....?

1 week out, CBR-MEL return, best available fare, results are:

QF - $832.58 (Return via SYD)
DJ - $319 (It was $300 yesterday!)

I guess you don't need a slide rule to figure this one out!


God I miss the $8 return fare I used to get!

I flew with Virgin Blue on Mon and Thurs. No complaints, aircraft clean, good leg room for "lo-co". FA's professional and courteous.

More legroom than easyJet and Ryanair (the lo-co's that I am familiar with), also they have inflight audio entertainment. EasyJet and Ryanair definitely don't have that.

Price was about $10 dearer than QF but I could fly at much more convenient times.

Well, it seems that the dreaded Friday night out of CBR syndrome has struck at DJ too! 3 counters open and a decent queue, however, 15 mins isn't a bad wait I suppose. Very pleasant check-in staff offered me the exit, which I happily accepted. Flight was pleasant enough, no shennanigans!

All in all, as much as my opinion counts, I think they are doing well nowadays.

Good luck to them.

Well, the return was a different story. Better get used to it I suppose.

Saw a former AN load controller pushing trolleys on the departures level. Had a good bitch session & then moved on.

Oh well.
