That’s definitely not good in that case (and not for Jetstar either, they’d be losing sales!).

If we have a poll on the airline web sites that have the **MOST** downtime, JetStar would be somewhere up there. They have frequent online sales, and some mega sales every now and then. They would pre-announce those sales, but very few can access them as their site would be DEAD even before the sale starts. Every Single Time.

You’ll think that an airline company would have budgeted some spare cycles for redundancy and scalability, especially after eager visitors have already crashed their site multiple times. Apparently not the case…
