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...

Had a BOR-BGY 9pm flight blow out to a 1am (next day) departure and thus 2:30 am arrival. Was pretty frustrating at the time, particularly with the struggle to get cabs at BGY and then arriving at Mercure Bergamo Centro Palazzo Dolci to be informed "we have given your room to someone else". Yes...

https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/jetstar-may-not-have-happened-with-multi-employer-bargaining-joyce-20221024-p5bs9d Not the usual type of news that would go into "Travel News", but interesting to hear Joyce's view on how JQ might have been stillborn two decades ago. As a bit of a...

Hi, Under QBR we've hit level 3 and nominated a flyer to be in the accelerator program. I'm looking for clarification if Jetstar flights are eligible. Jetstar Max gives you 80 SC return PER to MEL for cheaper than a Flexi. It was booked through the Qantas website. When you go to manage booking...

When I go to the drop-down menu for 'Link invitation to Jetstar Booking' the airport doesn’t show up for the Gold Coast (OOL). All other airports show up, but OOL is missing completely. Does anyone know how I can link my QF invitation without having to call customer service? Thanks

Hi all, I have a Jetstar/JAL reward booking on qantas points and today I got a notification that one of the jetstar flights had changed by 5 minutes. The usual email came through saying these changes have been automatically updated, I don't need to do anything, and an updated e-ticket will be...

From the Oz on line:

Hi all, does anyone know what is meant when a flight is "not available" vs "Sold out'? I'm booked on JQ7 but haven't received any cancellation notification. Also noting that the booking page will list flight as "Sold out" too if fully booked. Any thoughts?

Airlines are not only about aircraft, they are about the movement of people from place to place, and often to/from international destinations. So regardless of the reason for delays and cancellations, it is the management of stranded and displaced passengers that is important. Jetstar's B787...

I thought to share some experiences about the current travel situation to Bali. This might not be like a regular TR. In fact I might not go at all! The final yes or no will be made in the next hours. The Route: MEL-DPS-MEL on nonstop JQ 787 business class flights (already not going to...

Hi team, I've got a journey MEL -> SIN -> HEL with all flights under the one ticket booked through Finnair coming up later in the year. The first leg of the journey (AY6422) is operated by Jetstar (JQ7). I was a little concerned about luggage (the Finnair ticket said that I had 23kg of...

I notice many flights JQ35 a are being cancelled and see JQ1035 running . Is it the same plane and why a code change? thanks.

Just wanted to share my experience with others. For the past decade I've been promising my daughter a trip to Thailand. Never been able to afford it during school hols when we could go. About a month ago, however, I swooped on some classic rewards points flights from Adl to BKK on JQ, for...

We're looking at a family trip to Vietnam and the options on the QF site seem to be: - Book with Jetstar - Book with Qantas on the same flight but with a QF number As far as I can tell the only difference is that we will earn points and SC, but not too bothered about that. Does anyone know if...

Can anyone confirm what the baggage allowances are for Jetstar Economy Classic Reward Seat booked via Qantas.com for a Qantas Bronze Member? Screenshot of the flight is below: https://i.ibb.co/1bbcFbk/Qantas.png I believe carry on is 7kg. What is the checked baggage allowance? 20kg - seems to...
