It's common knowledge and good business practice that any internet business should be able to offer products cheaper than a bricks and mortar type business, yet in Webjet we have an internet business that is charging at least 10-15% more than the bricks and mortar airline businesses that Webjet sources all their product through???
Based on your 10-15% figure I think you must be assuming Webjet's business is mainly domestic but I have a hunch where they are getting business is international where %'s are much lower (i.e. it's stil $14 on maybe a $2000 flight) and there are more potential options for airlines and maybe users are less aware where to look for all the airlines websites. Wheras for domestic you just need to know 3.

Also think the mix and match option they have for NZ (fly out one airline and fly back with another) will be expanded shortly and would be attractive to many. No single airlin eoption offers this.
