    Quite probable that you're correct mate but the value on a PE and gross dividend yield basis (10%) is there nonetheless, (in a market that's otherwise widely considered to be pretty expensive) for those that enjoy investing in value based companies.

    Good for share holders - a bit more cash

    Essentially a price increase for savvy business people with their flexi fares - love it when business travellers get screwed

    Only Wellington / Chch / Dunedin at the moment by the sounds of it but the rest of the country will follow

    Well, yes - but isn't driving up the price the best way to invite more competition?

    That´s a bit unfair winner69, especially as you´re in the priviliged poition of being able to use Jacinda´s "heating" subsidy to subsidise your travel and recreation :-)
    I´m afraid more than just business travelers will be hit with this increase. My uni student daughter in Dunedin sure wouldn´t class herself as a business traveler but will be hit with this increase. More likely to fly Jetstar now though !

    Baggage handling staff are not free. Costs plenty of time and money to handle, load, carry and offload baggage, $15 is more than fair in my opinion. Expecting Jetstar to "mysteriously" review their baggage charges sometime soon.

    Business travellers moaning about the increase in Flexi stuff. Flexi Fare includes a bag but many of them travel without checked luggage.

    They the ones with oversized cabin bags ha ha

    Good to seeing them charging more to help keep that divie up ....wonder what’s next ...surcharge for printing boarding passes when you can do at home ....but a fuel surcharge would be good for shareholders

    Had some mates go to queenstown on jetstar and were looking to be charged more than their ticket price for taking skis as oversize baggage, didn't have this hassle when we flew air for the same reason a while back but maybe this has changed, haven't looked but plan to go again this year.

    No change unless your skis are 2m plus and weigh over 23kg (Only a few old school guys ski on that length nowdays) so you'll be all good. PS-I remember flying Jetstar 5 years ago from WGTN to Q/Town and we took 2 carry on bags each weighing around 10kg, no probs back then, plenty of people were loaded like pack horse's.
