low cost carriers

I travelled through the US last year, the last time I'll be doing so for at least the next four years, but I digress. During that trip, I took a few American Airlines flights. In every case, my Qantas Frequent Flyer points were credited within hours, sometimes even minutes, of landing. Back...

Scoot is launching a new route to Vienna (see separate thread here): https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/scoot-launching-low-cost-flights-to-vienna-from-singapore.116639/ Some of the launch fares for ScootPlus are pretty good. E.g. I've found PER-VIE for just over...

Scoot will launch 3x weekly flights from Singapore to Vienna from 3 June 2025 using the Boeing 787. Flights from Australia start from $399 one-way (e.g. PER-SIN-VIE). Quite an interesting route IMHO. It's not currently served by any airline. This is the schedule: TR708 SIN 0300 - VIE 1010...

Jetstar has some pretty good business class fares from Sydney to Ho Chi Minh City, as low as $599 one-way or $1,161 round-trip. For those unfamiliar with Jetstar business class, it's basically a premium economy seat but you get full meals and drinks on board, as well as in-flight...

I'm currently trying to find myself reward seats to Europe on connecting flights via Asia using the Multi City search but I'm continually getting search errors (more than usual!) It seems to be happening every time I include a route that has Jetstar flights as a potential option. e.g. Sydney -...

Just wanted to share my experience. I decided not to pay for seat selection, 2 adults and 2 children aged 5 and 8. On the Jetstar website it stated if I didn't choose a seat "don't worry Kids under 18 will always be seated with an Adult" it was a quick 1.5 hour flight and I was happy for one of...

Previously when travelling on Jetstar 787s on domestic routes, you could only book economy and then seat select into Business as an "Extra Legroom" seat. See AFF article from the time: How to Get a $32 Jetstar Business Class Seat Upgrade Now, it seems like you can book a proper business ticket...

If Coalition has its way..... I am surprised that it comes from Coalition rather than Labor: https://www.afr.com/companies/transport/coalition-wants-powers-to-force-qantas-to-divest-jetstar-20240823-p5k4pq...

Hello all, I am thinking of booking a flight from SYD - CNS - KIX and keen to get some understanding of the following: 1. How many status credits do I get for this trip? Would that be 15 status for SYD - CNS and 40 status for CNS - KIX based on Economy rates? 2. Will I have to collect and...

I'm looking for international flights (MEL-DPS) and I can book Jetstar flight via Qantas which seem to be cheaper than booking directly at Jetstar, e.g. Qantas as Bag & Meal for 691 AUD vs. Jetstar as Starter Plus for 710 AUD. Since I plan to pay for extra leg room seats anyway, this comes on...

Taken from Skynews A passenger has pulled the lever of an emergency door and climbed onto the wing of a Jetstar aircraft just minutes after landing at Melbourne Airport on Thursday morning...

Jetstar is facing a class action for allegedly failing to refund customers with cancelled flights during the COVID era, despite being required to do so...

Hello, I just tried to link Q lounge pass to jetstar. Made sure I had the booking/flight nos correct but when I clicked to link- I could not see anything happen. Thought this may not have worked so I clicked again. Only then I realized when scrolled down it had linked - so now have 2 instead...

Hi Everyone, I’m flying from MEL-SGN on JQ63 and was wondering if anyone has caught this flight or JQ61 from SYD-SGN? As mentioned on their website you cannot online check in and you need to visit the counter to show relevant visas and documentation. I have a couple P1 first class lounge passes...

Hi folks, my beloved +0,5 and the dragon mother of +1 did book a trip form MUC to MEL in November with some complicated combinations. They way to MEL is on LH, SQ and QF. The LH flight is on waitlist for an upgrade using my eVouchers, the QF flight is on waitlist with my QF-Points. The way back...

I thought I would share a very interesting questionnaire from JQ, relating to a proposed add-on to Club Jetstar memberships. The proposal basically provides for Qantas Points and SC earn on all JQ flights (even if no bundle is selected), for those that sign up to the add-on. Considering the...

This is the business class menu on today’s Jetstar flight from MEL to SIN: I thought it looked familiar - i.e. identical - to the menu I had last year on SYD-ICN. So I asked the flight attendant and she said it hasn’t changed in the 5 years she has worked for Jetstar. 😂 Is it perhaps time...

I have a Samsonite B'Lite Xtra 55cm Spinner Carry-On purchased from Myer about 10 years ago. Its dimensions are 55 x 38 x 22cm, which is 115cm linear dimensions but strictly speaking is 2cm wider than currently allowed as cabin baggage by Jetstar, Qantas, and Virgin (56 x 36 x 23 cm). I think...

Do Jetstar ever have business seat sales to Honolulu? They used to occasionally pre Covid but I cannot remember seeing a sale lately.
