    Denied access to OneWorld lounges on Jetstar + QF codeshare

    Hey folks, I'm flying from BKK to MEL via SIN. BKK to SIN is on Jetstar 3K516 (sold as QF5170). SIN to MEL is QF36. I tried to access the CX and EK lounges in BKK. CX knocked me back saying their policy is to only recognise Qantas flight numbers not codeshares. EK knocked me back saying that...

    Jetstar route map

    There used to be an interactive Jetstar route map on the QANTAS web site, but it's no longer available. I found something similar, but it doesn't quite cut it. It's not very clear which line is which. My eyes aren't quite that good. But, they have one in the back of their in flight magazines on...

    Jetstar classic reward unusual pricing

    I noticed an anomaly when checking Jetstar classic reward availalability on the QANTAS web site. Although a Jetstar classic reward between Denpasar and Sydey should only cost 18000 points one-way. But if you look at DPS-SYD direct for the 21st of November, it is 20300 points one-way. Also, I...

    Intoxicated and aggressive Business Class Passenger - JETSTAR

    Following a recent Jetstar Business Class flight from Bali to Brisbane, my wife encountered a faulty seat in 1A.

    Jetstar booking name change

    I have a one way Jetstar domestic flight, which was to be for my daughter. We have already changed the date (and paid a fee). My question is, can it be used by myself, or my son, without changing the name of the booking (and another fee?)

    Jetstar booking reference

    Does anyone know how I find out the jetstar booking reference when I booked thru Qantas? I have two flights booked with Qantas but one of them is with Jetstar and I want to select seats but can't because I need the reference number which I don't seem to have.

    Scoot refund policy - deceased passengers can only get a non-transferable voucher?

    I needed to check Scoot's refund policy recently, which can be found here: https://help.flyscoot.com/s/article/Can-I-cancel-and-get-a-refund-for-my-ticket I noticed this part in particular, which doesn't quite seem right: Am I reading this right, that if the passenger has died, and someone...

    Does Jetstar even care?

    What is the incentive for an airline like Jetstar to run at or close to time. I have, out of curiosity, watched the JQ on time performance of ite afternoon Bali departure from sydney. Shocking. Disgraceful. Consistently delayed. And quite significantly so most times. Do Jetstar even care...

    A (Mostly) Positive Jetstar Story

    Hi All, Given the deserved shellacking Jetstar have been getting for some time now, I thought it only fair to report a pretty positive experience I had this month. But first the negative part. Coming back from a trip to Bali, my DPS-MEL flight was due to leave at 12:45. Long story short, there...
