I’ve recently questioned VA’s proposition for passenger’s without status or care to attain points after reviewing flights for the family ex Perth to East Coast and short haul to Fiji.
As not regular flyers, there is the perception they don’t want to fly JQ although I see little value in them paying more with VA for a similar experience.
The complimentary Tea, Coffee & Water is certainly appreciated ( Juice would be great too! ) although feel more ‘Value’ is required in certain markets.
Could VA distinguish themselves on flights over 3.5 Hours with a Complimentary Snack & Non Alcoholic Drink?
( I know this was of great debate previously )
Even as low as 3 hour flights to take in Cairns flights to complete with JQ and also include short haul to Fiji & Bali
( meals were introduced previously to compete )
It feels that with prices of Airfares currently, there is less value flying VA opposed to JQ if the customer was to choose on $$ and inclusions onboard alone.
