No Frills Flying
I had my first experience with Australian no-frills airline.. Jetstar.. at the weekend. At present Jetstar has no allocated seats. It's first on gets the best seats. But 1 has to question some of the guidelines. People with orange passes board first. These are people with children and those that need assistance. But some I saw were neither.
And blue is for people who check in early. Why????
Finally there's grey or silver or something.
I got that one.. despite paying a fortune to Jetstar's parent company, Qantas to be a member of its elite Qantas Club. I had to fly Jetstar as Qantas doesn't operate on the route.
Oh and back to why blue boarding for those who check in early.. I had no luggage, so it's not like I was making baggage handlers do any extra work which may delay the flight. And there's a condition that if you aren't there at least 30 minutes in advance you don't get on the flight anyhow. And I was there before the deadline.
Well.. Jetstar's changing its policy in October.. they'll have allocated seating.. I might get my favourite seating then.
