Bonza fallout

THEY may have got off to a slow start and have had many problems along the way, however there’s been a couple of other airlines in the same situation. All the problems that come with Qantas, Virgin and Jetstar don’t get published all that often! These airlines suffer daily with flight delays, cancellations and so on.

While this is very different, and I do understand the mass inconvenience this has caused many passengers, as I’ve been caught up in this situation myself.

I do hope that Bonza can come back from this as I truly believe they have what it takes to get us good Aussies in the air with their incredible prices and fabulous in-flight experience.

Looking forward to paying $200 plus again Melbourne with Qantas one way!

SUCH a bloody shame. Bonza offered so many families and everyone a great opportunity to fly to destinations without hassle. Let’s hope they can operate again real soon.
