I cannot understand your reference to NZ surely Jetstar are not offering any fares out of say Auckland to Bangkok are they?.If so I have missed them,if only it was true for us poor Kiwis.

Christchurch to Melbourne then Melbourne to Bangkok all on Jetstar

[Dirty Dave 2]

Thanks for the reply Tayug!!

 

Jetstar is a subsidiary of Qantas, Qantas doesent want it "muscling in" on highly profitable Qantas routes so it will fly from places like Christchurch and Avalon (o/s Melbourne) on routes that would be marginal for a full service airlline. so as to make a larger profit for the parent group Qantas.

 

Remember if flying Jetstar to set aside extra $ for food, pillows and movies. Also check your conditions of flying EXTENSIVELY as they will probably be very restrictive - No date change, no name change on group bookings etc.

 

But all said and done it is FANTASTIC that their is an airline that does this type of fare, if it is not used it will soon be gone to the dustbin of failed airline routes.

Whoops, me to excited, press send early Sorry!

 

Jetsar will only be flying from Christchurch at the moment, especially as Qantas wants to make a loss on the Auk - Syd run so as to get their code share agreement with Air NZ through both NZ and Aus regulators, It may later fly from Auckland depends on the outcome of the code share request, flyer demand and the holy $$$$$$$$$$$.

 

As a Kiwi, how much does it cost on Air NZ link to Christchurh?? Prolly cheaper to go to Christchurh and fly Jetstar Via Aus then any other way.
