Simple Question....

Which Airline do you fly by choice domestic?

OK, I understand that this will be a tricky question, so for those out in cyberspace who don't understand the question - its when you pay for the flight... not by points but by cold hard cash.... your cash, not the companies or your wifes (mind you I dont mind spending Mrs! stash)....

Re: Simple Question....

QF all the way here, unless the price difference with the competition is not insignificant.

Re: Simple Question....

I like the benefits of status i.e. the QC and the good seat. I've always been treated well by QF and will continue to use my money for a product that suits me.

Re: Simple Question....

While I prefer Qantas, price does come into it. I value the "Qantas Difference" at certain amounts (based on where I am with requal for Qantas Plat, times of flights etc), and happily fly other carriers at times.

My preference is quite simply in order:

Qantas
Virgin Blue
Jetstar
Tiger.

Re: Simple Question....

Business travel is 99.9% QF (I did used DJ for one return BNE-SYD a few years ago).

If I was paying for my own leisure travel than I would be happy to shop around and could end up on any depending on my perceived value on the day.

Re: Simple Question....

QF here. But its too hard to separate Points/Cash. I fly QF because I earn points then use them for upgrades/rewards. Also I am running a 100% exit row+spare seat/entire row to myself and don't want to annoy the QF gods

Re: Simple Question....

Not such a simple answer. My airline of choice is definitely QF for both domestic and international. I will look at Virgin if the price difference is significant. I will as much as possible choose QF until I maintain status for the membership year and then it is a free for all.

My airline preferences in order are

Qantas
Virgin
Tiger
Rex
Other (excluding Jetstar)

Re: Simple Question....

Airline of preference (and most flown) is Qantas...does not exclude flying on others in the right circumstances.

Re: Simple Question....

Hmmm... It seems i am the only Virgin person here. For me i fly 80% for work so the other 20% i prefer to fly Virgin for the status but having said that i will quite happily pay a little extra for QF - having said that there is a limit!
