JetStar has lost my business!!

[darklydreaming]

Where can one find Malaysian business class for Jetstar prices? On the Malaysian website, all the business class flights for me ADL to KL or to SIN are well over $4k. Even with price rises, JQ are still in the mid $2k range.

They have a sale on at the moment. ADL to SIN from $2,400. Just did a search for the end of July and came up with a fare of $2393.11.

A search on the same dates on Jetstar came up with $2,355.64 (Max) or $1,535.64 (without bundle).

Like others here I've now a foot in both camps, had enough, so joined KrisFlyer, see how that pans put over the year or so, at least I shouldn't get these ridiculous changes.

You'll find that the deep discount Y fares on SQ earn you zero points, and you'll need double points if you want to redeem a J ticket on A388/A345/77W aircrafts (although this is rumoured to change).

In our private life we'll sometimes use a selection of LCC.

We've migrated to J *C as the extra space was nice plus the QF SCs were a real bonus. So we saw it as a 'package' when we did the price reviews. We'd even reached the point of not actually checking other carriers e.g J* & QF became our default.

But for us now, the price delta just seems a little more than we'd like to pay vs product offering.

So we're now happy to either default to BFOD for our private travels or actively search other carriers for 'economical' J fares. The Mrs & I agree that *C is now a little excessive in price for what it is.

Would you mind elaborating on the rumoured changes?

New SQ CEO and l think he has made some changes already (for the better).

It's only rumours so far (from what I know of), and unfortunately I don't have any details. We shall know in due course if this is true or not.
