Sounds Air is to introduce fare classes. Up until now Sounds Air has had a set fare with you book 2 months in advance or 2 hours in advance. Their latest e-newsletter, issued today, says, "At the heart of Sounds Air is our passengers. After 30 years of service, we recognise that our passengers' needs are changing and we need to change with you.Some passengers require flexibility, some enjoy our current model and some passengers want to fly for less. We now offer all of the above with our fare classes."
Sounds Air will offer three classes of fare...
Sounds Best - our most flexible fare, for passengers with dynamic schedules
Sounds Great - our classic middle range fare, similar to what we have provided in the past
Sounds Good - our least expensive fare, for passengers with firm travel plans that want to fly for less
In other Sounds Air changes the company's website has been updated - https://www.soundsair.com. A great enhancement for Sounds Air fans who want to photograph the company's fleet go to Travel Information, then Flight Schedules. By clicking on Detailed a full listing of what aircraft is doing on any particular day is shown. Unfortunately the website no longer features the standard weekly timetable which makes my research more difficult.
Meanwhile, the question as to whether there will be a change in the model from single-engined turboprops to a twin-engined turboprop remains unanswered
Might be a glitch in the system, but I managed to get fares from WLG-WSZ for $139.00, and also on the return flight as well. Well down from the usual $199.00
ReplyDeleteWow, you can pick up a NSN-WLG fare for $60 now. That's basically on par with Air New Zealand.
DeleteThat's the new system... a Sounds Good fare
ReplyDeleteThe fixed fare model was good, but Sounds Air have outgrown it and great to see them continually improving an already excellent service. They've had some remarkable growth in the last 3 years, very impressive

ReplyDeleteLooks like they might've used Jetstar for designing their with the colours and the use of different shades of orange, similar to Jetstar.
ReplyDeleteI very much doubt it, Sounds Air were using orange tails prior to Jetstar kicking off? Jetstar started up in 2004, Sounds Air had orange prior to that
DeleteMaybe Jetstar copied Sounds Air!!
You've totally missed the point (maybe the sarcasm wasn't evident in my comment). Yes, Sounds Air were using orange way before Jetstar even arrived on the scene, but their website looks to have taken a leaf out of Jetstar's recent (semi) re-branding with the contrasting oranges and such. Looks really modern.
