Just wondering if DJ will ever have a FF program.
In my biased view as a traveller, who does take FF matters into account when making travel plans, I am surprised they haven't come up with something already.
If I were DJ, I'd be looking to enter some sort of deal with Air NZ airpoints program. Advantages - Don't to have to set up an entirely new program; NZ program doesn't offer Airbucks on all fare levels, so needn't have it on the low fares; could come to some fairly simple zone arrangement for crediting airbucks for flights (maybe that align with Qantas's three domestic zones or with NZ's), and on the the redeeming side, could be a simple payment of Airbucks out of the program to cover ordinary purchasable DJ fares (as AIrbucks works for NZ).
For NZ (and its * partners), it would be a way of having a domestic partner for redeeming and earning points to capture back some of the customers who Qantas call their own, that wouldn't need a major change in the way DJ does business.
