Sometime when I took my eye off the ball over the holiday period the cost of a J class on some of my typical domestic runs (eg CNS-BNE and CNS-SYD) has jumped 4% ($43.50 on a SYD-CNS)!!!
This is on top of the increases of about 15% in the last 2-3 years.
Have I missed something (like some half-baked fuel surcharge excuse) or have QF used the quiet season to sneak in a price hike?
Given that service levels are still below those of the days of competition from Ansett, basically they are taking advantage...let's hope that 07 can get some traction in the marketplace and create some competition and eventually DJ gets its act together and realises that there is a market for appropriatrely priced business class in Australia, with good service, the right price and seats occupied by actual passengers rather than airline staff!
Personally, I resent subsidising QF staff to sit in J class, let alone somehow getting better seats, denying upgrade opportunities and even paid fair opportunities (it's happened to me despite how the system is supposed to work at QF and myslef holding a WP card)...and then to be slugged these sorts of price hikes is extremely rich...
C'mon QF stick your arrogance and short sightedness in your branded flight bag and get more creative!!!
