Here's a new one 😬 https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/holiday-nightmare-jetstar-makes-sudden-uturn-45-hours-into-flight-to-bali/news-story/0c6cf752d08818fdd521e59002c740a3

Hi AFF family. Long time follower, first time poster here. So apologies in advance for any posting errors. Let me give a quick background before I get to the issue at hand. I've booked a Europe trip for mid next year (using Qantas classic rewards) with the final 2x legs going from Dubai to...

Not sure if this has been discussed before or if it is normal practice for Qantas - not somehting I have experienced before regardless of the travel period. I have (multiple times) been able to book flights between Melbourne and Denpasar/Bali using the Qantas site (points, reward seats, or...

I have a Qantas Melbourne to Sydney flight that I want to change to a Jetstar option on the same day. This flight is available to book through Qantas when making a new flight booking, but not shown as an option when changing my existing Qantas flight online. So not possible online, but does...

Commencing 29th June 2023, Jetstar will fly direct between Sydney and Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Twice weekly service onboard the A321neo. Fares start at $229. Source: https://newsroom.jetstar.com/jetstar-to-take-off-from-sydney-to-the-cook-islands-non-stop/ Good day of service announcements for...

I flew Jetstar 787 economy Melbourne to Saigon & back last week. I have been on a number of flights in my life, and 95% of them economy. All previous seats acceptable in terms of economy seating. Jetstar 787 economy seats are actively painful to sit on, starting a few minutes into the 8 hours...

Yes, not the most interesting freebie, but if anyone can benefit from it, please let me know: $25aud value (to be used by 4th December)

Just got an email about the new Jetstar app (Jetstar Trips) and that it's going to replace the current one in a few months. Here's hoping the new one works better! I've always had trouble checking in successfully and having access to the mobile boarding pass.

Background to this thread We have noticed an increase in the posting of questions regarding what Airport Lounges are available at specific airports when travelling on specific airlines. While one can be assured of access at the airline lounge when travelling on that airline (provided you have...

Hi, We're flying MEL-DPS next week. Our flight leaves from T4, but we have Qantas lounge passes. Is it possible/worth it to get from T4 to the Qantas international lounge and back with a 2yo and a 4yo in tow? Can it be done airside with the new connection from T4 to T3, or would we need to go...

Just a heads up that JQ is swapping out the Dreamliner for Airbus without J class - just heard from friends at the airport today JQ 35 Mel-DPS. Apparently it has been going on for the last 2 weeks, although the first they heard of it was at the airport today.

Hi I am on JQ916 today and an a larger unit so I try and purchase a seat at the very back to maybe get an empty seat next to me. I checked now 8 hours before takeoff and the seats next to me are taken and there are only two seats available with a seat empty next to them. Would all seats have...

Hello, I'm wondering if starter max bundle is enough to get lounge access in Singapore ? Flying jetstar asia from singapore to DPS. Website seems to indicate only business MAX, but I know previously starter max got me lounge access when flying DPS to australia. Also have Qantas gold if...

Hi fellow FFs My flight with JS, Honolulu to Sydney 0835 was delayed 4 hrs to 1230, which caused me + 1 to miss our connection to Perth with Qantas. When we arrived in Sydney we were told to go to check in with about 30 others who had been on a delayed Q flight from NZ and were in the same...

Had a BOR-BGY 9pm flight blow out to a 1am (next day) departure and thus 2:30 am arrival. Was pretty frustrating at the time, particularly with the struggle to get cabs at BGY and then arriving at Mercure Bergamo Centro Palazzo Dolci to be informed "we have given your room to someone else". Yes...

Has anyone flown Pegasus? Looking at flights from TLV to IST....Pegasus is about $250 per person in Y....Turkish is about $450 per person in Y. Reviews on Pegasus on Trip Advisor are horrible...thoughts for this 2 hr flight?

https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/jetstar-may-not-have-happened-with-multi-employer-bargaining-joyce-20221024-p5bs9d Not the usual type of news that would go into "Travel News", but interesting to hear Joyce's view on how JQ might have been stillborn two decades ago. As a bit of a...

Hi, Under QBR we've hit level 3 and nominated a flyer to be in the accelerator program. I'm looking for clarification if Jetstar flights are eligible. Jetstar Max gives you 80 SC return PER to MEL for cheaper than a Flexi. It was booked through the Qantas website. When you go to manage booking...

When I go to the drop-down menu for 'Link invitation to Jetstar Booking' the airport doesn’t show up for the Gold Coast (OOL). All other airports show up, but OOL is missing completely. Does anyone know how I can link my QF invitation without having to call customer service? Thanks
