Now that is cheap and sorry about title should have been other way around perhaps the mods can modify.

 

[Tannin]

Oops indeed. Reported to mods so they can hopefully fix.

Will JQ follow suit & go cheaper than Scoot?

I suspect JQ won't be twiddling their thumbs for too long!

Will wait and see as even Star Class at $540.00 would be a good deal.

That's what I'm hoping for, a JQ bargain MEL > SIN in Business max.

They do price beating, just need to call them.

JQ won't sit back on this development considering it's JQ's home turf I suspect.

I suspect JQ will announce their counter sale shortly.

You snooze, you lose. You'll get better pricing if you match competitors.

That's all well and good. Have any of you good people out there actually flown Scoot? Well, I have.

My experience on Scoot OOL-SIN was quite nice. I was lucky enough to score an aisle seat with an empty seat next to me. Otherwise it would have been a bit tight. The check-in experience, however, is a complete nightmare. Takes forever. Too few agents and too many pax. Get there (very) early.

And no lounge. That's why I'll pay over the odds to fly JQ. Nicer seats/config too.

Interesting Feedback, I'm tempted to give them a go one day, but i'm with you, when you have QF Status it's more than just the lure of a cheap flight to make me switch.

 

[moa999]

Have also flown them and Air Asia X a couple of times. Nice enough for the price so long as expectations are low

 

[eastwest101]

I am guessing that JQ option will not be so great for the following reasons:


1. Not possible to make booking on JQ in late Dec early 2016
2. Not possible to price beat and then add Plus or Max bundles so forget about good value $/SC on JQ
3. I noticed that the Scoot Biz fares are very low, has anyone been successful in price beating other LCC Scoot Biz or Air Asia X Premium to Jetstar Starclass?
4. For the actual hard products in the cheap seats - I don't know which would be worse - the current 3-4-3 on the Scoot 772 (31" pitch and 19" width) or maybe a Scoot B787-8 or even -9 by then (seat pitch and width tba) or presumably a 3-3-3 JQi B788 with seat pitch 30" and width of 17" ? I assume all the A332s will be gone back to QF mainline by then.
5. The only compelling thing about the JQ offering will be WP acces to QF lounges - a benefit provided by QF and not by JQ.

Doesn't appear to be any announcement yet but checking JQ flights for October 2015 seems like Jetstar has lowered their MEL -> SIN return to $289. AU$159 MEL -> SIN, AU$130 SIN -> MEL.

Thanks to zzap's encouragement, I decided to book MEL > SIN with the plus bundles for $399.06. Booked for a long weekend in OCT, the 80 SCs will be a nice starter to my new anniversary year
