Not surprised they never got further. How can the government cut the taxes for Arajet and not for other airlines?
What does the one-way flight from MEX back to SDQ cost? I'll bet probably less than $169.
Remember Arajet has a low cost model and if you do not know how they works makes you think like that, first the very cheap prices are for a limited amount of seat and that price only let you take a personal item with you with 13 pounds and must be placed under the seat, so no all airline seats are sell at the same price. You have diferent price for each seat, plus all other extras that the airline sell bedside the seat price.
I booked to travel with Arajet to Sao Paulo when they open sales to the new destination, the price for s 17.98eat with a personal item I catched was 190.30 USD$ now lets go with the Breakdown and extras:
SDQ-GRU - 95.15
GRU-SDQ- 95.15
SUB TOTAL 190.30
ONE WAY STDR SEAT 11.00
2 WAY CARRY ON 79.98
2 WAY GO FAST (Priority) 17.98
TRAVEL ASSIST ROUND TRIP 14.00
SUB TOTAL 122.96
TAXES
DR - 142.58
BR - 10.00
SUB TOTAL 152.58
TOTAL: 465.84
As you can see if you are traveling only with a personal item with 12 pounds is very cheap, at the end
I paid 313.26 + Taxes , Food on board its also for sales, the prices are good, a sandwich that cost you at the supermarket 95.00 pesos they sell it for 200.00.
