Hi everyone,
I found a few Jetstar "J" versus QF Y/PE threads over the years but the most recent one it seems was in 2011.
Next year en-route home from the US (early April) I'm trying to find a way to use my QF points and as usual there's no QF J/F availability eight months out and at 353 days out I didn't yet have the points so the quick way home (LAX-Aus) is not an option. Also now I have in my head that I want to try LAX-ICN on OZ's new 388 F so now I'm leaning towards going home via Asia.
So to get home from Asia using QF points, I have a few options. I could easily get to NRT or HKG on the same ticket as the LAX-ICN so that would not cost me a considerable amount extra.
However there's no CX availability in J for anything in the vicinity of when I would like to leave so that is not an option. QF J from HKG also showing no availability either.
So the options I am considering now are NRT-SYD on QF PE or NRT-MEL on JQ "J".
How do JQ "J" and QF PE compare in terms of food/seat/service and overall experience ?
If they are comparable then JQ should edge it seeing as its a daytime flight ?
How is the food in QF PE I heard even J standards have dropped ? Is it still better than JQ "J" ?
Will a JQ "J" fare (booked as a classic award) get me into the QF lounge at NRT ? Is there even a QF lounge at NRT lol ? (I'm no longer QF SG and am done chasing status lol).
Keen to get some thoughts on those who have tried both products.
Thanks.
