Welcome to AFF @Alucard19
Plus EU261/APPR if this sector was part of a larger international itinerary.
Though in this case, the issue was not so much about compensation. Have passengers complained about compensation?Australia needs to introduce laws similar to the EU for compensation,
I would absolutely be asking for compensation. Itās bad enough flying them in the first place but to turn around and return home would leave passengers out of pocket and some possibly considerably depending on circumstances.Though in this case, the issue was not so much about compensation.

But I agree that airlines have a power imbalance. They can cancel and refund tickets seemingly at will but the passenger is unable to

I understand but I think JQ did provide compensation - meal vouchers, airport transport costs, $200 vouchers, hotel accom.compensation

Who wants meal vouchers, airport transfers and accomodation at your departure city, thatās not why you booked. This is the minimum expectation. This shouldnāt form any part of the overall compensation.I understand but I think JQ did provide compensation - meal vouchers, airport transport costs, $200 vouchers, hotel accom.
It is under EU261. And itās separate to the cash compensation which is really for the passengerās inconvenience.This shouldnāt form any part of the overall compensation.
Iād be happier with $200 cash from JQ than a $200 voucherIt is under EU261. And itās separate to the cash compensation which is really for the passengerās inconvenience.
In summary the JQ compo:
$200 voucher for passenger inconvenience
+ meals/accom/transport
The EU261 compo:
ā¬600 cash for passenger inconvenience
+ meals/accom/transport
I really donāt know who is telling the truth here now. The latest rumour is the runway was closed due works between 1am-6am. I cannot find a NOTAM to confirm that.Flight plans include the aircraft type. They cannot be otherwise, as the same software that produces the pilots navigation plan also produces the flight plan. More likely the department that greases palms werenāt informed of the late need to pay a āfineā for forgetting to cross a ātā on a paper form.
I can't imagine that too many people, if any, on this Jetstar flight would be doing so as part of a relevant broader itinerary.Plus EU261/APPR if this sector was part of a larger international itinerary.
Pre Covid DPS often had some good J fares to EuropeI can't imagine that too many people, if any, on this Jetstar flight would be doing so as part of a relevant broader itinerary.
Which people would have most likely misconnected with and lostā¦ they almost 100 percent would not have been on the same PNR/ticket. We know how that usually turns out.Pre Covid DPS often had some good J fares to Europe
I would never try the Vegas sandwich trick at Immigration in a foreign country, especially one in Africa! Good luck to you Ron.Uganda is this century easier to enter if a little bit of US paper is submitted along with your passport.

Separate tickets. Done it plenty of times, although I always allow at least 24 hours stopover in the outbound leg to commence the trip starting DPS (or anywhere else in Asia for that matter) for any sort of delays. I usually cut if fine to a few hours on the return leg and lean on āreasonableā clauses in my travel insurance if things donāt work out.Made on the same booking as a Jetstar flight? Good luck to anyone trying that
EU261 would be applicable if the trip originated out of an EU country so something like CDG > LHR > SIN > SYD > MEL > DPS. Now how many people would be crazy enough to take that routing to get from CDG to DPS? Probably not many!I donāt think EU261 would be applicable in this case, even as part of a longer itinerary. The flight is not operated by an EU carrier.
On my last JQ DPS-ADL flight there were several EK codeshare customers connecting AMS-DXB-DPS-ADL.I can't imagine that too many people, if any, on this Jetstar flight would be doing so as part of a relevant broader itinerary.
