Notwithstanding that you will be flying on a JS flight if you booked a Qantas FF ticket you will be allowed Q's current USA baggage allowance of 2x23kg (not 2x32kg). Qantas reduced their USA allowance from 2x32kg to 2x23kg in November althought their signage at Sydney airport still shows 2x32kg...

Jetstar have cancelled their Friday departures. They have now reduced the weekly Sydney to Honolulu flights from five to four.

Just to clarify the situation I contacted Hawaiian Airlines in Honolulu regarding their current policy on checked-in baggage on the Sydney to Honolulu flights. They confirmed, as I have previously stated, that the checked baggage is and remains 2x32kg per passenger (not 2x23 kg). Below is the...

Interesting comment. My wife and I returned from Hawaii with JQ in November and the plane would have been no more than 60% full. In fact, with JQs 2x4x2 seating we enjoyed having 6 seats 2x4 to stretch out on, as did many other passengers throughout the economy section. I can't imagine that...

OMG! Where were you last year when the A$ was 97 cents? :)

No wonder - you appear to spend most of your time under water. :)

Three cheers for Ynotc2001 for his common sense and unbiased opinion!

This discussion has been about Jetstar's dumb decision to reduce its economy check-in baggage allowance from 64 kg to 20 kg on its Sydney-Honolulu route so any reference to other non-USA international routes by Qantas or other airlines, as well as your constant reference to Starclass, is...

Dumb move indeed when the competition (Hawaiian Airlines) not only provides free meals, entertainment and comfort packs but also allows more than three times (64kg) Jetstar's economy baggage allowance (20kg) at no charge and double the Starclass allowance (30kg) even while flying economy.

Have you considered flying with Hawaiian Airlines? You can use your Amex points and I think you might only need 130,000 points compared to the 144,000 points you would need for Jetstar.

Yes you have that option. If you want to pre-book an additional 20kgs it will cost you $480.00.

Dave provides a perfect example of the effect Jetstar’s reduced baggage allowance might have on the average Jetstar passenger. We can assume that not every passenger wishes to travel Starclass and on that basis if Dave were travel economy with his 26kg of baggage he would need to pre-book the...

Has anyone had to pay excess baggage at Honolulu airport when bringing home more than 20 kg of luggage? Jetstar recently reduced their checked baggage limit from 2x32 kg to 1x20 kg on their Sydney-Honolulu-Sydney flights with excesss baggage being charged at US$20 per kg on the return flight...

Noted and thank you. I'll keep looking.

Thank you for your responses. Qantas/Jetstar claim FF seats are released up to 353 days in advance. Whilst there are numerous seats available up to and including August 31, 2008 there no seats available after September 1, 2008 which is as of today 316 days out. The two Qantas seats mentioned...

I can book frequent flyer seats to Honolulu virtually any time up until August 31, 2008 but there are no Qantas/Jetstar seats available from September 2008 onwards. I could even book return seats for November 2007 but nothing after from September 2008. The staff at Qantas have no answers...
