Bonza is the 4th entrant into the Australian domestic market along with Qantas/Jetstar, Virgin Australia, and Regional Express (REX). You could say its the 5th airline if you treat Jetstar as separate from Qantas.

I haven’t had a chance to review their service, and have only read a couple of reviews. They seem to be doing a good, if basic discount job. Still ‘low-cost’ is what the packet says, so now surprises if service is friendly but basic.

If you have had the opportunity to fly on Bonza – tell me below.
