Bangkok--31 Oct--Aziam Burson Marsteller Australia’s low fares airline Jetstar has reaffirmed its low fares leadership on its international services from Thailand - by now offering the lowest web fares against any direct competitor airline at Jetstar.com or the customer gets a voucher for double the difference - guaranteed! Jetstar’s “Double the Difference Voucher Guarantee” has been successfully introduced for its low fares international services between Australia and markets also including Vietnam, Malaysia, New Zealand and Indonesia. Jetstar’s Voucher Guarantee now delivers even greater choice for international travellers to obtain the lowest possible web fare on both Jetstar international long haul and short routes to and from Thailand. This includes Jetstar’s three times weekly Bangkok-Melbourne and similar three times weekly Phuket-Sydney services operated by the carrier’s two-class A330-200s, along with existing three times daily Bangkok-Singapore and 4 times weekly Phuket-Singapore Jetstar A320 services. Jetstar’s low fares initiative has been highly successful in its home market in Australia and the extension to Jetstar international services from Thailand now reinforces the price leadership position the airline is striving for in the Thai market. Jetstar applies its competitive online fare pricing guarantee for Jetstar international flights against competitors on flights from Thailand direct to Australia (eg Bangkok-Melbourne and Phuket-Sydney) operating the same long haul international city pair on the same day of travel. For Jetstar’s A320 international services between Thailand and Singapore, it provides the Double the Difference Voucher Guarantee against competitors operating direct flights for the exact route (eg Bangkok-Singapore and Phuket-Singapore) scheduled to depart and arrive at the same time (within 1 hour of the comparable Jetstar flight). Jetstar Group General Manager Commercial Bruce Buchanan recently addressed the New Horizons and Strategies Aviation Conference in Bangkok and outlined the low fare carrier’s innovative pricing initiative. “Jetstar’s new pricing guarantee now applies to all our existing international operations into and out of Thailand,” Mr Buchanan said. “For more than three years Jetstar has been committed to offering the lowest fares on the markets we fly. “By example on our direct services from Thailand to Australia any customer who finds a lower fare online on the Bangkok-Melbourne route with a competitor airline, when compared with our own available Jetsaver fare on the route, we will respond by doubling the difference in value with Jetstar travel vouchers when the Jetstar fare is purchased.“Jetstar’s “Double the Difference” Voucher Guarantee underpins our airline’s ongoing commitment to low fares leadership online through Jetstar.com. “The Jetstar travel vouchers can be used towards future travel booked with Jetstar and enquiries can be made through Jetstar Telephone Reservations in Thailand on 0 2267 5125.” Mr Buchanan said Jetstar’s Australia-Thailand services were performing above expectation and attracting significant numbers of Australians to visit Thailand, helping support the growing Thai tourism industry. “The Qantas Group’s future two brand growth strategy which will see Jetstar be the first Group airline to take delivery of the Boeing 787 for Jetstar’s growing international operations,” Mr Buchanan said. “Our future wide body fleet will provide a wonderful opportunity to potentially grow our operations and Jetstar’s overall market position in Thailand over time.” Customers in Thailand through Jetstar’s Voucher Guarantee who believe they have sourced a lower web fare must contact Jetstar Reservations on 0 2267 5125 and if the airline can verify the availability of the lower fare, buy our fare and Jetstar will double the difference in Jetstar vouchers. The Jetstar “Double the Difference” Voucher Guarantee can only be used when identifying a lower online fare prior to booking. Claims cannot be made after a booking has taken place. Vouchers are valid for six months from the date of issue. A voucher for each passenger will be emailed within 31 days to the person who makes the payment for the Jetsaver booking. Normal telephone booking fees will not apply to bookings made under this offer.
