  1. Oh just want to meet some of you guys there. Been holiday in Sydney and Melbourne. For sydney it too late, going of today and flying of to Melbourne. So is there any MW member in melbourne.

     

    For Tony, nice picture you have. BTW to bad can't meet you even I stay near by your place at Kingsford. Know one of your friend call Chung. Also stay near by there. Happen to be that I open MW and look at this forum and at a suddent he say "huh" I know this guy. So build up intention to know you but too bad you where not here and when to Melbourne. So that it.


  2. RM15 is just too expensive and not reasonable at all. Ofcos for any company, cost and quality is the most important part. But RM15 is totally too much.. real cost of 1 plate of nasi lemak is less than RM5, even 5 star standard.

     

    Oh the cost of a nasi lemak is around RM15 is because at first the ingredient to make a nasi lemak is there the basic but cost not stop there. Don't forget there is also involve thing that need to hold on to the nasi lemak to be transport to the aircraft those equipment are not cheap because it come in with air cooler which again include cost there. Then they don't simply rap in on the pandan leafs, so the containers need to be clean and hygiene, it cost incurs again. By the way nasi lemak on the plane also contribute to weight every KG add to the flight also mean burn more fuel, so anything that been pick up for the air plane like the trolley or food cart also contribute to weight which also a cost to the airlines. So all the above and other that I didn’t mention contribute to the cost of the nasi lemak. Hance out the nasi lemak now become RM15. B)


  3. Actually it all really depend on the view of individual. For a me the price is not a factor. If they are serving cheap but it nice and quality is there why not. If they are serving me food that are not up to standard and cost me a lot, then it bad for them.............and maybe get sue.


  4. Qantas Group International Networks

     

    The Qantas Group today took a major step in its two-brand strategy, with the announcement of Jetstar's proposed international route network* from November 2006.

     

    The Chief Executive Officer of Qantas, Mr Geoff Dixon, said as part of the strategy to focus on two strong brands - Qantas and Jetstar - the Australian Airlines brand would cease to exist from July 2006.

     

    Mr Dixon said Australian Airlines staff would operate services under the Qantas brand. (This is called a wet lease operation in the aviation industry.)

     

    "From a customer perspective, these flights will be like all other Qantas international services. They will have Qantas flight numbers, aircraft will be branded in Qantas livery and crew in Qantas uniforms will provide Qantas inflight product," he said.

     

    "Australian Airlines has done an outstanding job over the past few years, but we are determined to take full advantage of Jetstar's success, with its highly competitive cost structure and service standards."

     

    Mr Dixon said that Jetstar had created 1,300 new jobs since it commenced flying.

     

    "A further 550 new positions will be created by mid 2007 for its international operations," he said.

     

    "We are creating two distinct and viable flying businesses in what remains a very difficult operating environment of continuing record high fuel prices.

     

    "Jetstar will be grown aggressively over the next three years while we continue to expand Qantas' international operations.

     

    "The result will be two separate, competitive brands, with Qantas targeting premium business and leisure passengers and Jetstar concentrating primarily on leisure markets.

     

    "This is a very positive development that will boost Australian tourism at the same time as enabling the Qantas Group to grow."

     

    Mr Dixon said the changes announced today would see:

     

    * Australian Airlines aircraft and crew continuing to operate from the Cairns base under the new arrangements; * Cairns remain a major hub for Qantas international services, with 49 return flights per week; * the establishment of new Japan routes for the Qantas Group, with Jetstar flying daily Sydney-Osaka and Osaka-Brisbane-Sydney services; * Jetstar flying to new destinations for the Qantas Group in Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City) and Thailand (Phuket); and * Group services to Honolulu increase to eight flights a week, with Jetstar offering three per week from Sydney and two per week from Melbourne in addition to Qantas' three weekly Sydney-Honolulu flights.

    Mr Dixon said that from 1 July, around 40 Australian Airlines cabin crew positions would be lost progressively, with no compulsory redundancies expected.

     

    "Around 370 Australian Airlines positions will remain in Cairns, in addition to Jetstar's own Cairns base, which is expected to grow," he said.

     

    Mr Dixon said from July:

    Qantas' thrice-weekly Adelaide-Darwin-Singapore A330-300 services would operate non-stop between Adelaide and Singapore;

    the five services operated each week by Australian Airlines between Cairns and Singapore would be operated by Qantas via Darwin;

    Australian Airlines' four weekly Cairns-Gold Coast services would cease, with a new daily Qantas international flight linking Brisbane and Cairns to cater for the inbound tourism market, particularly from Japan; and

    Australian Airlines' current twice-weekly Cairns-Hong Kong and four weekly Cairns-Sydney services would cease.

     

    Qantas will continue to provide:

    double daily flights between Cairns and Tokyo;

    daily flights between Cairns and each of the Japanese cities of Nagoya and Osaka;

    a daily international flight between Cairns and Sydney, to cater for the inbound tourism market, particularly from Japan; and

    a total of seven services per week to Bali from Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, with Sydney and Melbourne flights to progressively transition to Jetstar.

     

     

    Mr Dixon said Jetstar's long-haul services would complement Qantas' international network and provide customers with low fare, direct flights between Australia and a range of emerging and established holiday destinations.

     

    He said Jetstar's proposed route network included six destinations in Asia and the Pacific - Bangkok, Phuket, Osaka, Ho Chi Minh City, Bali and Honolulu - operated by two-class Airbus A330-200 aircraft.

     

    "The network will ultimately provide more services to Asia and the Pacific before expanding with second stage flying to Europe and other destinations.

     

    "The Jetstar fleet will transition to the 311-seat Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft - part of Qantas' $20 billion fleet reinvestment program - from August 2008."

     

    Customers affected by these changes will be contacted by Qantas or their travel agent.

     

    * subject to regulatory approval.
