Jetstar's New Price Table Is Annoying

Does anyone else find Jetstar's new membership-prices-first layout annoying?

Basically the header will list the member prices in purple in the header (if available), and again using a large purple font in the body. The normal prices are shown in an orange smaller font underneath the member price, in the body only (http://imgur.com/a/NWtpP).

While the differences aren't dramatic for now, it's clear how this layout was intended to deceive customers and can be abused over time. Perhaps a higher level membership program would consistently give $40 discounts or more which would make the advertised prices look much more attractive. "OMG! All flights are only $1!!! Oh, damn…it's for Jetstar's Diamond club members that pay $10000 per annum…").

It seems like the airlines will always look for ways to re-introduce the concept of "additional taxes and fees not included"…

  • And discount seems only available for domestic flights. It's confusing how there are actually 2 entities for Jetstar, even though there are only 1 website. Same thing with Tiger as well
