REDjet increases the price of fares on some routes
After tax is added and not considering any “extras” the total cost of the REDjet one-way promotional flight totals US$115.80. Extras include priority boarding – US$10; baggage starting at US$10 for small luggage up to US$25 for larger ones; travel insurance US$9.40 and text message confirmation US$1.
Caribbean Airline’s after tax total is US$154.01 and includes a mandatory travel insurance fee of US$18. There is no additional cost for baggage and the options of priority boarding or text message confirmation does not apply to that airline.
REDjet said the airline did “phenomenally well in the 10 months since we started in May 2011. In that time and in spite of significant delays, we have been able to expand our network to six routes.
We have had particular success on our Guyana, Trinidad and Barbados routes, with newer routes like Antigua showing significant gains. As a result of our profitability and success we acquired our third aircraft in December, currently in operation.”
