    Disadvantages booking Jetstar via Qantas?

    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...

    Jetstar business class menu

    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...

    Jetstar/Qantas/Virgin cabin baggage dimensions - how strictly are they enforced?

    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...

    Jetstar launches Various Routes for CNS/CHC/MCY/AKL/DUD/HZL/SYD/OOL

    I assume the CHC flight will be operated by a Cairns based A321N. Hopefully not a red eye. https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/jetstar-heralds-new-qldnz-routes-with-fares-from-215/news-story/ceb6e1e10908bdec48dfc9f886e80698?amp&nk=eb67f3847214b632f251e1f5153f019e-1719148007#

    Jetstar launching Brisbane-Bangkok route

    I guess Jetstar must have seen an opportunity for BNE-BKK after Thai didn't resume flying it after Covid, and Thai AirAsia X pulled out. 3x weekly flights commencing in December 2024, on Boeing 787-8 aircraft. Afternoon flight out, redeye back (which is predictable). I had a quick look at...

    Jetstar no longer selling Max bundle in Economy

    It seems that Jetstar isn't offering the Max bundle anymore instead theres now a "Flex plus". The big difference is now you don't seem to earn SC/Points at QF Flex but only QF disc Y. This does mean some extremely attractive SC per $ offerings are now gone. I do note that business max still...
