Jetstar adds Melbourne - Colombo

[Wing Nut]

Are the Sri Lankans ready for the mass influx of bogans?

Ten hours with no service element to break up the time is hard Qantas, more than other legacy carriers even, keeps the drinks and snacks flowing for pretty much the whole flight.

It’s easy to do so with your own snacks, and/or paying for your own meals and/or purchasing a suitable bundle as you see fit. They have service. It’s just not free.

True but UL economy is the direct competition here. Only flown business with them (which was pretty good TBF) but not sure they'd keep the drinks as flowing or whether the price would be as competitive.

Could fly a better airline though this would involve a change of planes (including QF possibly changing in India)

Bogans don't choose their holiday itineraries by the presence of Jetstar flights. This will have backpackers, people visiting family, mid range tourists wanting to save a few $$ on their flights etc.

Anyway parts of the south coast of SL have basically been colonised by Russian tourists. They'd appreciate the bogans much more.
