Are they going to be using Jetstar, or Jetstar Asia aircraft?

I think it will be JQ as they were recently recruting for that base

Been on the cards for some time, good to know its finally happening:)

Flights from perth to Singapore are quite expensive, so hopefully this brings it down a bit:)

Something wrong on the timetables though, its listed as a 7:25 hour flight :eek:

Are these services as a addition or a reduction to QF's 2-3 daily PER-SIN flights?

Cheers

I would think that this might affect Tiger's 2nd daily Perth service...

Would you take JQ over TR to Changi?

Absolutely if they arrive at Terminal 1 and not the budget terminal.

I assume JQ will use Term 1?

I wasn't aware of the new TR service, what are its flight times? Looked on the TR website and couldn't find anything!?

JQ also have a bit more legroom than TR and if you are a FF status or club member you get lounge access.

2 daily return flights through QF, and 1 daily return through JQ.

Correct. Jetstar currently operate from Terminal 1 at Changi with the MEL/DRW and CNS/DRW services, and I'd say the same for PER. We slotted into a gate right between two Qantas A330s the last time I operated the SIN. So they seem to group us together.
