low cost carriers

Most may already know but thought I'd mention it. I booked a one way flight originating in Tokyo and ending in Cairns. When it came to the payment page it asked if I wanted to use local currency or Yen. The local currency - AUD was $2756 Seemed like a lot to me as I was using a currency...

Hi all. I’m struggling to articulate this question so I hope I can make sense. I have Points Club Plus, I am wanting to book flights MEL-SIN return in business class. The only thing showing up during daylight (we are old, night flights kill us) is Jetstar. I don’t mind Jetstar’s pseudo...

Some of you may have helped me in previous threads looking for a way home from Vancouver, some suggested via Hawaii which is exactly what we have decided to do. Now, I see flights with Jetstar are half the price of Hawaiian Airlines but I am wondering if I should just pay the $2K extra and go...

I'm thinking of putting my mum on a Jetstar flight to Sydney to connect with a Oneworld OS trip the next day. But i'm a bit nervous as it's the only non-stop flight to Sydney that day, and if the flight gets cancelled she might be in danger of missing her flights to europe. Would the platinum...

Miss B has a Jetstar flight, will have a small carry-on bag but with books may be 8kg. Horror. If weighted at the gate, do Jetstar give the option to have her (small) bag put in the aircraft hold (rewards ticket so has checked luggage entitlement)? Or will a $60 (?) fee be her only option? Add ...

Here's a new one 😬 https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/holiday-nightmare-jetstar-makes-sudden-uturn-45-hours-into-flight-to-bali/news-story/0c6cf752d08818fdd521e59002c740a3

Hi AFF family. Long time follower, first time poster here. So apologies in advance for any posting errors. Let me give a quick background before I get to the issue at hand. I've booked a Europe trip for mid next year (using Qantas classic rewards) with the final 2x legs going from Dubai to...

Not sure if this has been discussed before or if it is normal practice for Qantas - not somehting I have experienced before regardless of the travel period. I have (multiple times) been able to book flights between Melbourne and Denpasar/Bali using the Qantas site (points, reward seats, or...

I have a Qantas Melbourne to Sydney flight that I want to change to a Jetstar option on the same day. This flight is available to book through Qantas when making a new flight booking, but not shown as an option when changing my existing Qantas flight online. So not possible online, but does...

I flew Jetstar 787 economy Melbourne to Saigon & back last week. I have been on a number of flights in my life, and 95% of them economy. All previous seats acceptable in terms of economy seating. Jetstar 787 economy seats are actively painful to sit on, starting a few minutes into the 8 hours...

Yes, not the most interesting freebie, but if anyone can benefit from it, please let me know: $25aud value (to be used by 4th December)

Just got an email about the new Jetstar app (Jetstar Trips) and that it's going to replace the current one in a few months. Here's hoping the new one works better! I've always had trouble checking in successfully and having access to the mobile boarding pass.

Background to this thread We have noticed an increase in the posting of questions regarding what Airport Lounges are available at specific airports when travelling on specific airlines. While one can be assured of access at the airline lounge when travelling on that airline (provided you have...

Hi, We're flying MEL-DPS next week. Our flight leaves from T4, but we have Qantas lounge passes. Is it possible/worth it to get from T4 to the Qantas international lounge and back with a 2yo and a 4yo in tow? Can it be done airside with the new connection from T4 to T3, or would we need to go...

Just a heads up that JQ is swapping out the Dreamliner for Airbus without J class - just heard from friends at the airport today JQ 35 Mel-DPS. Apparently it has been going on for the last 2 weeks, although the first they heard of it was at the airport today.

Hi I am on JQ916 today and an a larger unit so I try and purchase a seat at the very back to maybe get an empty seat next to me. I checked now 8 hours before takeoff and the seats next to me are taken and there are only two seats available with a seat empty next to them. Would all seats have...

Hello, I'm wondering if starter max bundle is enough to get lounge access in Singapore ? Flying jetstar asia from singapore to DPS. Website seems to indicate only business MAX, but I know previously starter max got me lounge access when flying DPS to australia. Also have Qantas gold if...

Hi fellow FFs My flight with JS, Honolulu to Sydney 0835 was delayed 4 hrs to 1230, which caused me + 1 to miss our connection to Perth with Qantas. When we arrived in Sydney we were told to go to check in with about 30 others who had been on a delayed Q flight from NZ and were in the same...
