Correct. The amount of money being spent is quite a lot to ensure this product is outstanding. This is a big step up from just the old and pretty average PE product. It never really worked from day one. The seating was never right, product was never really right, and the fact that they just...
You gotta remember guys, this is Business Class, not Premium Economy. Prices will then reflect that. Full Business Class service and not just items from the retail cart. Of course prices will reflect that.
Yes Simon, it was somewhat a charter flight as a revenue flight was pulled from its schedule, and turned into this flight. As others mentioned, it was on sale through Blue Holidays and it was certainly a CHOICE for those who wanted to be on this flight. It is certainly your opinion to not have...
Ok, Interesting that I looked just now for BNE-SYD for next tue and found 9 fares cheaper than QF for that day.
I like how you mentioned that QF fare is almost always equal to or the cheaper option than DJ. I think you need to look a little further and deeper.
John K, Have you even looked at the fare levels to get a comparison to validate your claim? I looked at a fare from BNE-SYD and the DJ GO Fare was $79, plus $8 if you want the baggage allowance comes to $87. The cheapest QF fare I found for the same day was $107.
I hope that your meal that you...
I had a browse through the documents of when he put in a complaint to the World Intellectual Property Organisation Arbitration it seems that he failed to prove that he had intentions of opening up his product world wide to include Australia, and it seems that when Virgin Blue's marketing company...
You're looking at the figures as being 1 in 5 flights are cancelled, I was simply saying that if only 1 of his flights were cancelled, then that is better than all of them being effected by cancellation or delays. so the odds were pretty good for him I say.
Let me tell you how some of your information can be incorrect (especially the above). I know for a fact that the Team Leaders do get the opportunity to be trained on this information. The teams have what is called a Team Training Rep. That person is responsible for training up all staff on new...
Naive? In what way? His company has a right to choose who it decides to use when it comes to airlines. If anyone is naive its the guy that decided he knew it would irritate and demotivate staff if they travelled DJ. Isn't that a tad presumptious to make that assumption?
Ok, if that be the case, I apologise for the fact that I misunderstood the "Play on words" that was intended by the article.
However, I am perplexed by the comment though that would instantly assume that his buiness choice to use Virgin Blue (or Virmin Blue as you quaintly call it) would...
Warks,
You can do what Mal suggested and put in a Missing Points Claim form, however, you maybe wasting your time. An airline has to draw a line as to when they should give points to a guest and the easiest way is to have the condition whereby a person needs to be a member before they can earn...
Man, all I can say about this comment is that you would think that after 5 years, can't people give this whole "If it wasn't for the Ansett collapse, Virgin and QANTAS wouldn't be what they are today"
Unless your a psychic and you can see alternative time lines and see what things would have...
Firstly I want to address this by Philip76. Let me guide you to the Terms and Conditions of Carriage that Virgin Blue have when you purchase a ticket. Here are 2 points in particular that you should pay attention to:
8. The Guest acknowledges that the Carrier may need to cancel or delay and...
WOW
Well, this section turned from being about the potential for DJ flying to the US, to bagging them about being a "Carbon Copy" of Ansett.
1st issue: I think its a good thing that SQ were stopped at flying across the Pacific from here to the US. I really believe that DJ should be given...
