Last week I had to attend a funeral in BNE with just a few days notice. It was my first flight in over 2 years. The usual CNS to BNE Qantas 6am flight was not available...seems this is the one they always cancel...so booked a 7am Jetstar which would arrive in time, thinking at least I can go to...

Hey Everyone, I'm travelling quite a bit on JetStar and noticed the other day that us Qantas offers bonus points for eligible JetStar flights for its elite members. In particular, I'm a QF Gold member and per the website, I should be entitled to a 75% bonus on top of the base points I would...

Hi , I have a flight voucher that expires later this month and a gift card with $450 that expires in mid January. I havent used them yet due to all the covid stuff. Does jetstar extend these due to covid? has anyone had any experiences with them?

I have booked a Jetstar classic rewards flight to Launceston. I am wanting to add 1 piece of oversize baggage. On the Jetstar website, it shows my checked baggage as the 20kg I have already and it says "incl. 1oversize item" Does this mean I don't have to pay an oversize fee as it is included or...

Hate to see it goto waste. Reply to this post and I will PM you the details. Cheers Coops1

I was just having a read of this page on the Qantas website: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/status-and-clubs/status/membership-tier-journey.html I couldn't help noticing that the lifetime status requirements on that page state that you have to earn 7,000, 14,000 or 75,000 lifetime...

Interesting article on CNN News website this morning https://edition.cnn.com/2021/10/12/business/ryanair-bans-covid-refund-passengers/index.html One snippet from the article covering when the authorities looked into complaints made about Ryanair's stance: "Last week, Britain's antitrust...

We are intending on going to SYD - DPS next year for our twice delayed trip to Bali. QF flights are nearly booked out. JQ are not (in fact almost no seats taken). We are really hoping for reward seats, but JQ is not even appearing in the QF booking engine (for either revenue or reward...

Just noticed that Jetstar now appears to be bookable through Amex Travel online. Flights are showing without fare options e.g. to book a bundle, so you're stuck with the Starter fare and you can't seem to add baggage. They're also pricing around $6-7 higher (there's a $5 tax listed) regardless...

Has anyone picked up one of the $20 JQ flights on sale from MEL to SYD, NTL & BNK or SYD-AVV? https://www.9news.com.au/national/jetstar-sale-20-dollar-flights-victoria-to-nsw-99-dollar-flights-qantas/a0d6f76d-6413-425b-8374-c3d7acdd4f9f

I have a Jetstar flight in 2 weeks from Sydney to Proserpine and i wondered if anyone can advise my chances of getting a refund rather than a credit voucher. My details are: - They haven't cancelled the flight yet. It's booked for Tues 28 Sept. When (relative to a flight occurring) do they...

I've just redeemed a Jetstar credit voucher for a flight in New Zealand. The voucher covered most of the cost of the flight, but there was an extra amount of NZD9.75 to pay. The only way to pay for this was by credit card, and Jetstar very kindly added on a NZD5 credit card fee! I realise...

And a "what could have been" had Indigo been the successful bidder for VAH back when they were in administration. At an Indigo controlled VA, It could've would've been a mixed Boeing/Airbus at VA right now as VA transitions out of 737s in favour of A320neos. Source: Cebu Pacific officially...

My partner and I have called it this for ages as it wasn't our first choice of airline and we'd found it pretty ordinary in the past. However with some vouchers from a cancelled trip we had decided to go to the Queensland from Victoria. Two trips cancelled due to lockdowns and we are flying...

More Embraers on the way for QFLink, more A320s for Jetstar Australia and new Qantas routes to be announced soon.... what could they possibly be?! —— QANTAS AND JETSTAR EXPAND TO MEET DOMESTIC DEMAND, ADD MORE AIRCRAFT Qantas is expanding its three-year contract with Alliance Airlines...
