    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...

    Jetstar booking name change

    I have a one way Jetstar domestic flight, which was to be for my daughter. We have already changed the date (and paid a fee). My question is, can it be used by myself, or my son, without changing the name of the booking (and another fee?)

    Jetstar booking reference

    Does anyone know how I find out the jetstar booking reference when I booked thru Qantas? I have two flights booked with Qantas but one of them is with Jetstar and I want to select seats but can't because I need the reference number which I don't seem to have.

    Scoot refund policy - deceased passengers can only get a non-transferable voucher?

    I needed to check Scoot's refund policy recently, which can be found here: https://help.flyscoot.com/s/article/Can-I-cancel-and-get-a-refund-for-my-ticket I noticed this part in particular, which doesn't quite seem right: Am I reading this right, that if the passenger has died, and someone...

    Does Jetstar even care?

    What is the incentive for an airline like Jetstar to run at or close to time. I have, out of curiosity, watched the JQ on time performance of ite afternoon Bali departure from sydney. Shocking. Disgraceful. Consistently delayed. And quite significantly so most times. Do Jetstar even care...

    Qantas Lounge Pass - Linked to Jetstar flight before expiry, flight after expiry

    Hi! Just looking for some clarification, as I have linked a Qantas lounge pass to a JetStar flight a while back, got the email with the QR code as normal. The pass has since expired and due to fly this weekend, (from MEL international if that matters), and when I go on my lounge pass section of...

    A (Mostly) Positive Jetstar Story

    Hi All, Given the deserved shellacking Jetstar have been getting for some time now, I thought it only fair to report a pretty positive experience I had this month. But first the negative part. Coming back from a trip to Bali, my DPS-MEL flight was due to leave at 12:45. Long story short, there...

    Baggage on Jetstar to Emirates transfer

    Hi All, Thought I'd ask on here because I'm getting contradicting information from different places. I'm booked on JQ35 from MEL-DPS with a 2H15M transfer onto EK399 from DPS-DXB. Jetstar's website claims that baggage will be transferred for "connecting international Jetstar flights and flights...

    Jetstar-esque carry-on experience with Qantas

    If you're ever forced to speak to anyone when you check in or bag drop with Qantas, beware - they seem to be policing their carry-on rules a lot more. I'll let you decide whether the lesson here is to follow their carry-on rules more stringently or to avoid talking to Qantas staff wherever...

    Best seats on the Jetstar A321neo

    I’m a bigger guy and usually fly up the pointy end but I’m having to fly jetstar for the first time in a while. Looking at the new neo seat map has anyone flown Row 28? It seems like the best bet to ensure I’m less likely to encroach on others? Anyone flown on this row or have any other...

    Flying to Bali on JQ, using ADL Qantas lounge / timing.

    Hello! I'm wondering if more knowledgeable heads than mine can provide advice. We are flying early on a JetStar flight to Bali. Once we're checked in and through domestic security, is there anything stopping us from accessing the Qantas lounge (I have PC+) prior to heading to immigration? I...

    Jetstar International - Cabin Baggage

    Hi, Just wanted to see what the current process is and how strict they are when boarding an international Jetstar flight and cabin baggage. Now obviously I've been through the check and weigh on domestic flights but in the past I've always found international not too bad. My predicament is...
