Mike Lee: UOA marketing professor on Jetstar looking to charge people extra for overhead carry-on luggage

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

A marketing expert says Jetstar's deciding to charge for overhead carry-on luggage is is just business.  From February, all passengers' under-seat luggage can weigh more - up to 10kg - but they'll have to fork out an extra $23 for overhead luggage. Auckland University marketing professor Mike Lee says it's an attempt to separate itself from other carriers.  "This will rationalise some of that premium overhead space now - and then, of course, they'll be making a nice little profit on that, hopefully."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
