JQ Straight to Gate check in at MEL International

[aikman]

I just noticed that Jetstar now has Straight To Gate web check in for flights from MEL to Southeast Asia. Has anyone used this? If I have no bags to check in, do I really not need to go to a check in counter? Presumably the 1 hour deadline to show up in person at a Jetstar counter no longer applies? It says it is not valid if you have visa requirements but presumably this doesn‘t apply to Bali since VOA is available anyway?

I was going to try it last year but it doesn't include those seated in an exit row.

Pays to search AFF!

I'm planning on doing this later this week SIN-BKK-SIN and have selected exit rows .... I take it they want to look you over for general fitness prior to issuing the BP.

Edit: the website does't exclude exit rows... Intra Asia Check-in | Jetstar
