Jetstar has released a bunch of sale fares on international routes, which it says is the first sale on international flights it has run in nearly 2 years. Sale running 26-30 October 2021. Jetstar International Sale If someone could explain to me why the sale fares from Melbourne to Singapore...

Interesting article on CNN News website this morning https://edition.cnn.com/2021/10/12/business/ryanair-bans-covid-refund-passengers/index.html One snippet from the article covering when the authorities looked into complaints made about Ryanair's stance: "Last week, Britain's antitrust...

We are intending on going to SYD - DPS next year for our twice delayed trip to Bali. QF flights are nearly booked out. JQ are not (in fact almost no seats taken). We are really hoping for reward seats, but JQ is not even appearing in the QF booking engine (for either revenue or reward...

Just noticed that Jetstar now appears to be bookable through Amex Travel online. Flights are showing without fare options e.g. to book a bundle, so you're stuck with the Starter fare and you can't seem to add baggage. They're also pricing around $6-7 higher (there's a $5 tax listed) regardless...

Has anyone picked up one of the $20 JQ flights on sale from MEL to SYD, NTL & BNK or SYD-AVV? https://www.9news.com.au/national/jetstar-sale-20-dollar-flights-victoria-to-nsw-99-dollar-flights-qantas/a0d6f76d-6413-425b-8374-c3d7acdd4f9f

I have a Jetstar flight in 2 weeks from Sydney to Proserpine and i wondered if anyone can advise my chances of getting a refund rather than a credit voucher. My details are: - They haven't cancelled the flight yet. It's booked for Tues 28 Sept. When (relative to a flight occurring) do they...

Good: The Mercury on line: .. on line for the rest of the story.

I can see flights loaded up to 30th April 2022 on the Jetstar web site. Are they loaded once a month? And when do they do that? I am looking at booking ADL to CNS next July. Thank you to anyone who could answer my questions.

I've just redeemed a Jetstar credit voucher for a flight in New Zealand. The voucher covered most of the cost of the flight, but there was an extra amount of NZD9.75 to pay. The only way to pay for this was by credit card, and Jetstar very kindly added on a NZD5 credit card fee! I realise...

And a "what could have been" had Indigo been the successful bidder for VAH back when they were in administration. At an Indigo controlled VA, It could've would've been a mixed Boeing/Airbus at VA right now as VA transitions out of 737s in favour of A320neos. Source: Cebu Pacific officially...

My partner and I have called it this for ages as it wasn't our first choice of airline and we'd found it pretty ordinary in the past. However with some vouchers from a cancelled trip we had decided to go to the Queensland from Victoria. Two trips cancelled due to lockdowns and we are flying...

More Embraers on the way for QFLink, more A320s for Jetstar Australia and new Qantas routes to be announced soon.... what could they possibly be?! —— QANTAS AND JETSTAR EXPAND TO MEET DOMESTIC DEMAND, ADD MORE AIRCRAFT Qantas is expanding its three-year contract with Alliance Airlines...

OMG... just completed a survey about Scoot and it's put VA into the LCC category! :eek:

The United States and Western European members of the UN Security Council called Wednesday for the International Civil Aviation Organization to urgently investigate Belarus' forced diversion of a commercial flight to Minsk between Greece and Lithuania to arrest an opposition journalist on board...

I could be completely incorrect but it seems the Jetstar website may be revealing the amount they get paid by Qantas for an award seat. I was just searching for some domestic Jetstar award flights and similar to any other redemptions when you reach the payment stage (but before you make...

Confirming guest is allowed into the lounge, both flying JQ? Seems so, just not sure if any catches due to being free.

Apologies if this has been answered before but does anyone know why Qantas codeshare on Jetstar domestic flights when you can’t even earn points or SCs with the QF codeshare? There are heaps of QF codeshare flights on Jetstar at the Melb T4 terminal but why do they need to codeshare? Is it to...

Looking at using QFF points to purchase a JQ ticket. Only options through Q website are Starter and Max. If I purchase Starter fare can I then purchase baggage separately on Jetstar website? The Max bundle is overkill. Starter plus some baggage would be ok.

Perhaps I'm thinking into it too much but a Jetstar 787 just positioned AVV-SYDL https://flightaware.com/live/flight/VHVKH/history/20210412/2300Z/YMAV/YSSY Jetstar had proposed using 787's on domestic/NZ flights (on the basis that borders stay open). So I wonder if brining one to Sydney is the...
