CBR now appearing on JQ site

[chrisishere]

Just had a look at the specials page and now CBR is in the drop down menu, they're mostly via SYD on a QF flight but with a JQ number.

Also noticed that even putting the bundle package on that you still don't get SC for the domestic leg, just the international leg. Also it only allows bookings to coughet and Bali.

So JQ is starting to codeshare on QF CBR flights?

I hope that doesn't mean that JQ will start operating into CBR.

That will give the pollies something to complain about.

I hope it does! When TT flew into CBR once upon a time the flights were actually remotely affordable, unlike now.

.....and the folk in Queanbeyan will rejoice!

I reckon Tuggeranong residents will also appreciate the opportunity to fly.

If JQ fly domestic from CBR it will be interesting to see how the BFOD fares price out.

I do wonder if this is a sign that JQ has CBR in their sights. Any price relief will be amazing.

 

[yohy?!]

id rate a JQ 320 above the turboprop offerings of QF and VA in addition to the obvious price benefit

So after a chat with a JQ rep online which seemed to go in circles.

You can't select any max bundle for Y and J fares from CBR. I kept asking I wanted to earn SC's and points but fly in J but the push was to get a plus fare in Y (which defeats the purpose of flying in J)

Why fly JQ you ask? The direct flight to HKT is handy.

Surely QF isn't going to let JQ cannibalise the higher yielding CBR runs with JQ metal and this is just a way to sell cheap Asian holidays to another market.

Maybe CBR has convinced JQ to start international flights out of there.
