Episode 134: Fuel surcharges and Qantas code sharing with themselves?

from The Australia Desk

Steve's moved the studio into a submarine due to the floods but the boys are still able to talk about some news topics.We remind the Geeks that way back in episode 100 we noted that Jetstar were trialling iPads for IFE so this latest news out of the USA isn't that revolutionary.Qantas, Virgin Blue and a few other Australian airlines are using fuel surcharges to ensure they earn enough to not go under as fuel prices keep going up & up.Meanwhile, Jetstar hasn't introduced fuel surcharges but are instead increasing fares and bag handling fees to accommodate the increased costs.Qantas are going to code share with Jetstar Asia ... um, what? They're also talking about being in trouble in the international market. Are we almost at the point where we'll see a Jetstar A380?John Borghetti slips up and speaks about Qantas instead of Virgin Blue during a media session.
