Comparing Qantas And Virgin Australia

Everyone seems to look for the lowest possible airfare to get from A to B. Most people don't seem to care how they fly and will do everything they can to get there for the same price as a nice t-shirt.

Say you don’t want to spend a couple hundred of dollars on the airfare, Singapore Airlines can also help you. Time to look at Singapore Airlines subsidiary,
