low cost carriers

Hi All, Flying on JQ63 from Syd to Melb. I was hoping to check-in early to access the lounge ASAP. Can anyone please share recent experience of how early Jetstar will let you check-in and drop bags at the Syd international terminal? Thanks!

...they really did! Was up for about half an hour before they deleted it.

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. Is it worth it knowing there is no flat bed? Should I wait for a cheaper fare ie a sale? Do you get two meals on...

Which would you fly Qantas 737 to Bali Or Jetstar for comfort?

We all like to have a go at Jetstar and I rarely use them, but having been enlightened recent about Max bundles and QFF Status Credits I thought I'll give that a whirl. Some months ago I booked a Max bundle for around $275 - by comparision QF red-e-deal was almost $400. Last week Jetstar had a...

Booking a flight to Bali, using a Qantas rewards points, but i would like to select a seat with extra leg room. This option is not available on the Qantas page. Can i purchase this flight, then separately buy the seats through Jetstar? Any assistance is appreciated. THanks.

Hey guys, I'm looking at booking the following itinerary on JQ - SYD-MEL JQ MEL-SIN JQ SIN-KUL 3K If I book this on a Business Max fare (which will only apply to the MEL-SIN leg), will the other two legs earn Qantas Points/SC at a max bundle rate? I'm confused because I'm allowed to pick...

Jetstar have just announced these new flights. They will be using the new Airbus A321neo LR. As far as I know they will not have J seats so a big no from me. https://newsroom.jetstar.com/jetstar-set-to-expand-perth-network-including-three-new-international-routes/

Jetstar has applied to the IASC for additional seats into Indonesia. They propose the launch of: Cairns - Melbourne - Denpasar (1x daily A321neo, effective 1st May 2024) Adelaide - Perth - Denpasar (3x weekly A321neo, effective 1st August 2024) Application states these services will be...

Sydney to Osaka commences 1 April 2024. Operates 3 times a week. https://newsroom.jetstar.com/jetstar-to-fly-direct-from-sydney-to-japans-food-capital/

Elapsed time of 8 hours. Arajet calls themselves a LCC, however they have 8J Recliner Seats like Virgin Australia. However, Arajet doesn't have J service in their 8 recliner seats, but more in the style of Spirit Airlines' "BIG FRONT SEAT" where you only basically pay for the recliner and...

Hey folks, I'm flying from BKK to MEL via SIN. BKK to SIN is on Jetstar 3K516 (sold as QF5170). SIN to MEL is QF36. I tried to access the CX and EK lounges in BKK. CX knocked me back saying their policy is to only recognise Qantas flight numbers not codeshares. EK knocked me back saying that...

Hi, I have just booked a classic rewards flight on Jetstar and realised it may not be what I expected in terms of inclusions. Can I be corrected if any of the following is incorrect? Thanks. Details: BNE (D) - MEL (T4 - T2) - SIN (T4) | SIN(T4) - MEL(T2 - T4) - BNE (D) Baggage: All flights on...

There used to be an interactive Jetstar route map on the QANTAS web site, but it's no longer available. I found something similar, but it doesn't quite cut it. It's not very clear which line is which. My eyes aren't quite that good. But, they have one in the back of their in flight magazines on...

I noticed an anomaly when checking Jetstar classic reward availalability on the QANTAS web site. Although a Jetstar classic reward between Denpasar and Sydey should only cost 18000 points one-way. But if you look at DPS-SYD direct for the 21st of November, it is 20300 points one-way. Also, I...

Following a recent Jetstar Business Class flight from Bali to Brisbane, my wife encountered a faulty seat in 1A. Despite notifying the aircrew, the seat malfunctioned, causing it to recline abruptly and the footrest to remain unresponsive. Unfortunately, due to capacity constraints, we couldn't...

Jetstar is hinting on its Facebook page about a big announcement coming tomorrow. Tomorrow is also the Qantas Group full-year results announcement, so we should find out whatever this is about in the morning.

We have a BKK to MEL flight next year, booking is via classic reward in business class, its a JQ flight and my status is gold QFF. We'll be in the airport for about 5.5 hours before the flight and wondering if there'd be lounge access included - does anyone know? From what I've read it...
