low cost carriers

Hi All Not sure if this is the right place to post (mods, please move if not) but was hoping to get some help for cancelling flights and receiving a refund / flight credit for compassionate reasons. My partner had booked the following flights over Easter: DRW-MEL on JQ (Starter fare using...

Hi everyone, I’ve got a 4hr flight from NZ back to Aus and have picked the front row 1E and 1F. Then I saw some of the seat maps from the likes of seatguru and others not really rating it and saying it’s not great due to no floor storage, limited legroom and armrest immovable. So question is, is...

Pretty full on video. I am fairly certain the Aviation regs say you must comply with crew instructions. Not negotiate with crew the instructions. I had this on a Jetstar flight recently when two passengers refused to take new allocated seats due to aircraft downgrade. I am fairly sure regs also...

Looking for some advice. A friend is flying Sydney to Narita and booked as 2 separate flights, Sydney to Cairns and Cairns to Narita. Same flight numbers as the direct Sydney to Narita flights, but will there be issues with luggage customs etc? I've done these flights before and I seem to...

Hi there, I'm looking to fly MNL-SIN-BNE, booked as a QF classic reward. MNL-SIN would be on Jetstar Asia. WIll QF look after me if the JQ flight ends up being delayed cancelled and impact my connection? I would think so since they issue the ticket but then I know the reality might be...

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...

Commencing 29th June 2023, Jetstar will fly direct between Sydney and Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Twice weekly service onboard the A321neo. Fares start at $229. Source: https://newsroom.jetstar.com/jetstar-to-take-off-from-sydney-to-the-cook-islands-non-stop/ Good day of service announcements for...

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...
