Future Travel Market (High End Travellers)

Fuel Tax raising, Airfare increasing... Travelling overseas.. will soon be a luxury.. no longer affordable for all..

I forseen Budget airlines will starts to charge customer on every single services if fuel price keep writing new records... They might charge passengers for the following services: seats request (Tiger has already implement), check in luggage, hand carry luggage, online reservation booking fee, phone reservation booking fee etc..

Jetstar (Budget Airline) Australia has already implement "StarClass". It is the premium class cabin for long haul flights services operated by the Airbus A330. Offering 38 leather seats, with a 38-inch seat pitch for more room... All seats are equipped with in-seat power, for a laptop or recharge personal eletronic items... Meals and beverages will be serve onboard... An amenity kit, blanket, pillow, personal entertainment options which include audio channels and a personal video-on-demand unit.... StarClass passengers have priority check-in and a checked baggage allowance of 30kg.. What's more, when the StarClass could access to Qantas Club Lounge and earn frequent flyers.... All these sounds like a regular full carriers services.. estimate fare AUD$1474 / way to fly from Melbourne to Osaka vis Sydney.. budget fare on the Jetsaver flying the same route is only AUD$429 / way....

See even Budget Airlines are moving towards full carriers services.. with full regular fares...

After making a BIG Fanfare for their A380 Double Decker, with their private luxury suits. Singaproe Airline launch their all business class direct flight to New York and Los Angeles to capture more business travellers.. This market will be able to keep Singapore Airlines alive and competative..

Soon to be gone, will be the days for mass cheap travel market... Only the rich can afford to fly....
