Jetstar new route Wishlist

[Aussie_flyer]

AirAsia is increasing the number of weekly flights from PER to DPS from 25 to 35 per week from December 2026

Some of those extra AirAsia passengers will come from former Jetstar customers who do not appreciate being gouged $32 to carry a cabin bag onboard on a Jetstar plane from February 2027.

I'll take JQ over an Indonesian based carrier any day

I am already thinking of workarounds to avoid this JQ fee on cabin luggage.

1. My old army jacket has four large pockets which can carry phones, chargers and books.

2. I can move the rest of my cabin luggage to my checked in bag.

Melbourne to Seoul is one that surprises me, perhaps they can’t get slots.

Korean is running its seasonal service this peak. Pricing has been pretty high for Seoul flights, even last minute Jetstar flights have been eye watering.

India is an interesting one, it’s obviously low yield but the volume is definitely there. Last minute can also be fairly pricey to India. I think they should test the water with a Neo from Perth next year.

It's most likely aircraft. They only have so many aircraft in fleet and the whole fleet is going through refurbishment right now. I imagine if they have more planes, we would see more ICN, more India, maybe even more JP routes.

Even more other SEA routes. KUL is interesting because theres a lot of competition on the route that I'm not sure if JQ can fight in the route, if anything KUL might be a QF route if they decide to go there in the future.

Bring back MEL-HNL or SYD-HNL. I don't care which. Would be nice to have a route to HNL that is reasonably priced. Helps break up the flight to mainland US for those that want that. Great place to visit too.

I don't think there's likelihood of that. HNL (well Hawaii) is insanely expensive now even if you have a $0 flight ticket, I bet one week will cost many time the cost to almost every other JQ location they currently fly. Singapore and Tokyo are probably the only long haul JQ destinations that are more expensive and even those will be cheap compared to HNL.
