pe7e Posted July 6, 2003 Report Share Posted July 6, 2003 Taxis are also expensive here in the UK, so is public transport in general. It is only the British no-frills airlines that are cutting the cost of transport in and to Europe. I wish they would start with long haul flights next, 5000b to BKK would be nice. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allatsea2000 Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Hey mate, i agree with u on parts, and definetly when virgin go to asia things will be even better. I dont agree we have an obigation to see our own country. I think it is more about afordability. why would i fly to perth for say 800 when i can go to thailand, or for that matter alot of other places for the same price. I think it is more a shame that our carriers dont allow us the option of cheaper travel for those who are of there own country, this would enable us to maybe do both. As for flights and competition, the carrier actually makes his money on the cargo. The people are just a top up. so they really can go alot lower with their pricing, but however with no competition there is no need, just a supply and demand thing i suppose. I tend to think the sooner virgin get to asia, or more of a strangle hold in the australian market the better Please dont think this is a flame, it is meant in the right spirit, Just my thoughts, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiery Jack Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Domestic travel in Japan's a fucking (punctual, I'll give it that ) joke. I live in the Kansai area (west of Osaka). It's cheaper for me to go to Korea for the weekend on a package deal than to Tokyo (once flights, hotels, food, booze, sanuk... is all added up). In fact, a package week in LOS is no more expensive, all in all, than a week in Tokyo either. (And much more fun. ) jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
