Type of traveller by star sign

Jetstar did a study into traveller's star signs and where they are more likely to go, according to Herald Sun - Jetstar study finds the type of getaway you fancy may depend on your star sign

Why would Jetstar even do this study and what benefit is this to them I have no idea, but I feel this study hardly justifies.

Yes, star signs may depict our personalities, so in comparison should also influence our decision on travelling.

However I feel that basing the study only on their own passengers mean that they were only concentrating on those who are looking for a bargain to start with.

I am in fact discriminating the type of people who travel on Jetstar, but since the airline concentrate their image on low fares and no service, I can only assume those who choose to travel internationally with Jetstar only look at the cheap side of things.

What about the more luxury/richer of the population? Perhaps a more generous Taurean may travel differently?

Also because the study is based on Jetstar passengers it would only cover those who travel to destinations Jetstar offers. So just because the normally Aries who like to travel long haul destinations (according to the report) happens to be travelling with Jetstar at the time of report, doesn't mean that just three months ago they had spent time in New Zealand and have flown another airline instead. (Which would not have been captured in this study).

Anyway. what do you think? Are they right about your type?

Maybe, Amy, I'm all for adventure and the natural look, so find I can get into trickier places plus get a good commentary on the TV.

My guess is that Jetstar would do anything for some publicity that doesn't involve passengers complaining about being stranded in airports for hours at a time - hence this, ahem, "study".

As for me? "Libras, said to be free-spirited, tended to buy tickets at the last minute" - nope! But then, I don't believe in astrology.

Katyzzz - I think adventure and natural look is always the best way to go, whatever the star sign!

Journeywoman - Yes, Jetstar seem to do a lot of these studies... haha
I know, it says that a Taureans (me) go for cheap and cheerful, which is only half true when I have a bad financial year! Haha when I do have money I have a tendency to spend it all on travel
