jetstar and qantas are the same company so usually the qantas fare is a couple of dollars higher for any particular trip subject to availability. it's pure chance whether the plane you travel on has jetstar or qantas painted on the outside !

LOL now I know your taking the piss. We've just been aranging some flights to tour Australia a bit more and all I can say is that if you think jetstar means there's competition in the market place, well you can't be serious. For serious competition to take place for the benefit of the consumer you need a few 'seperately owned' companies flying in and out of all the airports and more importantly not have them signed up into a cartel. Australia fails on both parts.

Hi,

Best site for flights is Webjet. They have the prices for Jet Star, Virgin, Qantas etc.

www.webjet.com.au

It saves all of the work

There have been other airline start-ups in Australia over the years that have since gone out of business.

It is unrealistic to think that Australia could support the same number of low cost airlines as the UK, considering its much smaller population and relative isolation to other countries. Most UK low cost airlines make their money from their European shuttle services.
