When is a QF Flight a Jetstar Flight?

[possum FF]

I'm travelling Asia in July and booked on QF flights between Melb & HK. I'm wondering if it might be a Jetstar flight. Is this possible? I hope not!

Jetstar don't fly MEL-HKG

There are certain QF coded flights that are actually JQ flights. However these are differentiated by the symbol in front of the flight number on your manage your bookings page.

For the record, if you are on QF29/30, that indeed is a QF flight as JQ do not fly that route.

If they start QF49XX or QF59XX then you’re on Jetstar.

And more obviously if your flights are MEL-SIN-HKG you’re likely on JQ too, but could be on anything flying that route, or a combination. As mentioned, it’ll display the correct logo in front of the flight number when you click on your booking details. And then clicking on the flight number will tell you more.

Not always true Sam, what about QF269 and similar numbered flights?

I’m just saying if it’s QF49XX and QF59XX it’s definitely Jetstar, there are many variations, and without a flight number provided or an exact route it’s all speculation. I just gave the most obvious examples, IMO.

Although they would be domestic flight numbers. International flights are in the QF2xx range, AFAIK.

So there are a few rules and patterns here.

Any insider comment?

QF42XX series are 3K codeshares in Asia
QF40xx series are One World codeshares

Flight numbers are in blocks. So the flight number can give away bits of info.

Wen you did the booking it would have said "operated by jetstar". Do you have your itinerary?
