As all my travel now is personal not enough money to pay for anything other than cattle class.
With JQ I expect the airfare would get you on the aircraft. You would then need to pay extra to have a seat of some description! Standing room only anyone?
Exactly..
The price you pay for JQ will one day break down as such (with the premium services in brackets - because obviously some people are better than others)
1. Entitlement to print boarding Pass $599
2. Actual printed boarding pass $5 ($8 for laminated)
3. Entry into Aeroplane $2.50 (Free)
4. Permission to use Aisle $2 ($5 for unlimited usage)
5. Seat $10 (Included in Premium fare)
6. Padded seat $5 extra
7. Meals $20 (Hot meals $25)
8. Meals Served $2.50 (Included with hot meals
can't let you get burnt now)
9. Drinks $5 (Water Free)
10. Corkage $3 (Includes BYO)
11. Toilet usage $5 (Washroom attendent to spruce you up and feather down your bits $150)
12. Inflight Entertainment $10 (Inclusive for premium)
you can gawk at the premium classes for free
13. Exit from Aeroplane $2.50 (Premium service includes Nepalese Sherpas to carry you and your trunks)
I'd hate to see what happens if you don't want to pay to get off. Welcome to the brave new world of flying.
