Seat revenue includes all revenue except for commissions earned from goods and/or services sold on behalf of partners. Non-seat revenue arises from commissions earned from goods and/or services sold on behalf of partners.

Passenger revenue arises from the sale of flight seats and is recognised net of government taxes in the period in which the service is provided, that being when the flight is flown.

Ancillary revenue primarily arises from the discretionary purchase of additional goods and/or services in addition to passenger revenue. This includes but is not limited to the provision of checked baggage, allocated seating, speedy (priority) boarding services, sports equipment and change fees, and commissions earned from goods and/or services sold on behalf of partners.

Under the new presentation from 1 October, total revenue would have been categorised between passenger and ancillary revenue as follows:
