Hi all
I hadn't looked at the pictures per se - but what I do think is misleading is Jetstar's claim that they will deliver airfares and packages for 'a fraction' of what you're paying now (I think they also use the word 'probably'??) .
This is perhaps technically true... anything less that what you are paying now would be a 'fraction', but in reality it implies you would be paying a very small amount of what you pay now.
Given their packages to Bali and Viet Nam come in at the same price (if not more) than packages available through Garuda and Vietnam Airlines, I think their claims (to the average person in the street) are misleading.
Interesting to also note that the Age (2 weeks ago on Saturday) claimed that Jetstar's tickets were well below current costs - saying that unlke other airline's websites, Jetstar's pricing was all inclusive. The Age said fares to Bali (for regular travel periods they claimed, not the specials) were $550 (and it indeed the very first booking page does say total cost) - but you have to go to the next page to get all the taxes... taking the fare - at today's prices (for travel in Feb 07) to over $800.
And while I'm on the subject - some (all??) of Jetstar's package holidays don't mention transfers (unlike Thai Airways, Garuda or Vietnam Airlines packages).
Oh well, rant hat off.
