The other day I went online to book on QF MEL-TSV, and takes you straight to Jetstar site. Used to be able to book fares (with convenient timetables) via SYD or BNE,
<rant warning>
Today went to look at fares to DRW and now it also just takes you to the Jetstar site - which is just plain STUPID. If I wanted to book on DEATHSTAR and get to Darwin at 2am I would. If want to pay some extra $$ to go via SYD and arrive at a decent hour, get a free feed, movie, ff points, some extra legroom on a 4.5 hr flight and "at leisure" boarding - LET ME!! Why is Qantas so squarely focussed on the Sydney market and leaves the rest of Australia to Jetstar? 3.5million people live here in MEL , still a sizeable population. <end rant>
