    Jetstar Denpasar to Adelaide

    Jetstar Lounge Invitation Missing First?

    Hi Brain Trust, I've passed on a P1 invitation to a friend for a JQ flight but there is no first option under the drop down? Is this working as intended? Typing in First doesn't work either. Enhancement? This is under the independent 'Jetstar Bookings' option.

    EDIT: The original post alleging a cargo door was open was removed and replaced with this one: It’s the comms panel that was left open, not the cargo door, apparently

    Scoot getting Embraer E190s

    This is kinda cool. Scoot will take delivery of its first E190 regional jets in May. The 2-2 seating layout should be quite tolerable. The first 6 Scoot E190 destinations ex Singapore have been announced as Krabi, Hat Yai, Koh Samui, Miri, Kuantan and Sibu...

    Jetstar do not offer a neighbour free product unlike Qantas, Scoot etc. Has anyone requested this at the airport at all or know of any other ways to try and request the middle seat free on a long haul flight? Jetstar planes are often at capacity given the relatively low fares, but I wouldn't...

    I am thinking about flying JQ from SYD-HNL as part of my next trip (one way). On the dates I plan on traveling (September), the fare is approximately $2000 + $200 for a Max bundle.
