A pretty soft touch review, really..
Fare's fare on Jetstar's StarClass - News - Travel - smh.com.au
It's dinner-time, and the flight attendant tours the passengers at the front end of the plane.
He asks each: Would you like a pie?
A pie? Well, why not?
Fine-dining from printed menus composed by leading Sydney chefs may be part of the Qantas service in business and first class but simpler eating pleasures, not unnaturally, await those who fly International StarClass on Jetstar, Qantas's budget-priced subsidiary.
For the record, the pie provided late in our afternoon Jetstar flight between Sydney and coughet, Thailand, was excellent; it came with other snack food, wine and other drinks, and followed a tasty lunch earlier with a choice of main courses.
One difference between Jetstar's International StarClass and Economy is that in the former, meals, snacks, spirits, wine, beer and soft drinks are provided as part of the fare, whereas back in economy they have to be paid for - with meals priced up to $A12 - either as pre-arranged before the flight, or during it.
Or you can BYO - food, but not alcoholic drinks.
The Jetstar website describes its International StarClass as enabling people to fly business class at the price of other airline's standard economy fares.
There are 38 StarClass seats each with 38 inch (96.5 centimetres) pitch, providing more leg-room, and with a power plug for a laptop or personal music player; seats in economy number 265.
A Jetstar spokesperson said the carrier's long-haul international network, now using six Airbus A330-200 jets, would be set for significant future growth when it took delivery of 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliners during 2009.
The new fleet will allow Jetstar to spread its wings further - it has already tabled its intention to operate two-stage flights to parts of Southern Europe including Athens and Rome, the spokesperson added.
Meanwhile, the Sydney-coughet nonstop service - the only direct nonstop link between eastern Australia and the popular Thai holiday island - is selling above expectations and is one of Jetstar's best-performing international long-haul routes.
