Did you buy the budgie smugglers?

Haha - no, and I didn't see anyone else buying them either...

I live on the Sunshine Coast so am wrapt there are new options opening up. I've also been in aviation for 30 years. I haven't met anyone in the industry who thinks the current model is sustainable. Hopefully they evolve and thrive for the betterment of us all!

'Pre-reclined seats.'

'Slimline.'

Comfortable? No - I don't think so.

Plus a Boeing 738 - my most disliked aeroplane.

Yuk!

I bet London to a brick the fares steadily rise, or if the 'headline' fare stays at what it's advertised as today, availability is mysteriously rarely available.

Not too much 'mystery' about raging inflation in Australia and probable forthcoming rises in fuel costs.

Adding to that, the A$ may decline further in due course, eventually pushing up the cost of jet turbine fuel per kilogram.

Well being a Sunshine Coast local we will use Bonza in due course but probably not in the next 18 months as a very packed holiday schedule.
Looking forward to flying Bonza to North QLD probably TSV and save a couple of days driving.

All good, but as we've discussed elsewhere, the test of an airline is during IRROPS. Then we'll see if its an improvement on JetStar.

Pessimist....

Maybe try them first.

I'm quite excited to try a flight with them. Thanks for the review!

Impressed with the review, and look forward to just flying anywhere up the coast for fun. Australia has a beautiful language and it’s rapidly disappearing, I’m so glad it’s alive and well with Bonza. I mean bonza, what’s not to like about the name.
I have just arrived in the U.K., flew Emirates, but found the attendants stuffy, not helpful, and so caked up with lippy I thought, good grief, do we really need all this pomp on an airline. Wishing Bonza progression to International flying.

NZ? Bali?

 

[Warks]

Good review. Might have a look at using them for a conference at Maroochydore in a few months' time.

Thanks for the review, they are certainly on my list.

I would have thought you could overcome many hurdles with an enthusiastic and focused workforce. I look forward to hearing more about their CEO and management team.

Will be interesting to see what happens when Bazza, Sheila and Shazza and mates chuck a sickie on a Friday or Monday or just before/after a long weekend

the test of an airline is during IRROPS

Culturally, Chucking a sickie is not necessarily IRROPS. Bonza!

 

[Sprucegoose]

when Bazza, Sheila and Shazza and mates chuck a sickie on a Friday or Monday or just before/after a long weekend

Clearly, they would lose their 'Legend' status!

A happy workforce doesn't chuck sickies, though - it's usually symptomatic of poor management - in my experience.

Interesting review. Sounds that the staff make this airline. Good luck to Bonza. Hopefully I have a chance to fly Bonza.

I wish Bonza well. But will never fly with them if I must book via the 'app' If and when they go online like the other airlines then I'm in for sure. I am not alone here as a lot of friends and acquaintances feel the same. Come on Bonza, get on board so I can get on board

 

[Sprucegoose]

Do you normally book via a travel agent?

What issues with the app do you and your fellow travellers have?

 

[Sprucegoose]

I read today that Bonza have sold 100,000 tickets in two months. This can’t be a fluke. They have fully embraced their market and their market has fully embraced them cementing their business model value proposition.

Now to the next goal of ensuring long-term profitability. Businesses do need to make consistent profits.
