low cost carriers

Hi All, Thought I'd ask on here because I'm getting contradicting information from different places. I'm booked on JQ35 from MEL-DPS with a 2H15M transfer onto EK399 from DPS-DXB. Jetstar's website claims that baggage will be transferred for "connecting international Jetstar flights and flights...

It seems from the 30/03/2024 there is no business class flights from melbourne to Bali as I can't see any 787 flights all 321 neos

Big WSI update today from Albo & QF/JQ... initial domestic services referenced are BNE, MEL & OOL. This one might need it's own thread to banter around...

If you're ever forced to speak to anyone when you check in or bag drop with Qantas, beware - they seem to be policing their carry-on rules a lot more. I'll let you decide whether the lesson here is to follow their carry-on rules more stringently or to avoid talking to Qantas staff wherever...

I’m a bigger guy and usually fly up the pointy end but I’m having to fly jetstar for the first time in a while. Looking at the new neo seat map has anyone flown Row 28? It seems like the best bet to ensure I’m less likely to encroach on others? Anyone flown on this row or have any other...

Hello! I'm wondering if more knowledgeable heads than mine can provide advice. We are flying early on a JetStar flight to Bali. Once we're checked in and through domestic security, is there anything stopping us from accessing the Qantas lounge (I have PC+) prior to heading to immigration? I...

Does anyone here know whether they can use money on a Qantas Pass on a Jetstar booking?

Hi All, I've just booked a domestic japan flight using qantas points which is supposed to include 20kg checked in luggage. But after making the booking no checked in luggage is shown on the email confirmation or booking details on the Jetstar website. I've also went on live chat and they said...

Hi, Just wanted to see what the current process is and how strict they are when boarding an international Jetstar flight and cabin baggage. Now obviously I've been through the check and weigh on domestic flights but in the past I've always found international not too bad. My predicament is...

Hi All Not sure if this is the right place to post (mods, please move if not) but was hoping to get some help for cancelling flights and receiving a refund / flight credit for compassionate reasons. My partner had booked the following flights over Easter: DRW-MEL on JQ (Starter fare using...

Hi everyone, I’ve got a 4hr flight from NZ back to Aus and have picked the front row 1E and 1F. Then I saw some of the seat maps from the likes of seatguru and others not really rating it and saying it’s not great due to no floor storage, limited legroom and armrest immovable. So question is, is...

Pretty full on video. I am fairly certain the Aviation regs say you must comply with crew instructions. Not negotiate with crew the instructions. I had this on a Jetstar flight recently when two passengers refused to take new allocated seats due to aircraft downgrade. I am fairly sure regs also...

Looking for some advice. A friend is flying Sydney to Narita and booked as 2 separate flights, Sydney to Cairns and Cairns to Narita. Same flight numbers as the direct Sydney to Narita flights, but will there be issues with luggage customs etc? I've done these flights before and I seem to...

Hi there, I'm looking to fly MNL-SIN-BNE, booked as a QF classic reward. MNL-SIN would be on Jetstar Asia. WIll QF look after me if the JQ flight ends up being delayed cancelled and impact my connection? I would think so since they issue the ticket but then I know the reality might be...

Most may already know but thought I'd mention it. I booked a one way flight originating in Tokyo and ending in Cairns. When it came to the payment page it asked if I wanted to use local currency or Yen. The local currency - AUD was $2756 Seemed like a lot to me as I was using a currency...

Hi all. I’m struggling to articulate this question so I hope I can make sense. I have Points Club Plus, I am wanting to book flights MEL-SIN return in business class. The only thing showing up during daylight (we are old, night flights kill us) is Jetstar. I don’t mind Jetstar’s pseudo...

Some of you may have helped me in previous threads looking for a way home from Vancouver, some suggested via Hawaii which is exactly what we have decided to do. Now, I see flights with Jetstar are half the price of Hawaiian Airlines but I am wondering if I should just pay the $2K extra and go...

I'm thinking of putting my mum on a Jetstar flight to Sydney to connect with a Oneworld OS trip the next day. But i'm a bit nervous as it's the only non-stop flight to Sydney that day, and if the flight gets cancelled she might be in danger of missing her flights to europe. Would the platinum...

Miss B has a Jetstar flight, will have a small carry-on bag but with books may be 8kg. Horror. If weighted at the gate, do Jetstar give the option to have her (small) bag put in the aircraft hold (rewards ticket so has checked luggage entitlement)? Or will a $60 (?) fee be her only option? Add ...
