A long time ago we used get QF points and SCs on any Biz fare - which could be particularly good value during the sales when looking to grab some extra SCs. I had a decent trip to HNL back then (still A330 then but basically the same hard product).

Since they switched to the current pricing model, they don’t offer a “Plus” bundle on Biz if you just want the FF points/SCs (and BYO lounge access off your QP/status), instead there’s only the ”Max” bundle and you end up paying a lot more for that Flexible ticket.

I‘ve also found the “Max” supplement is a moving feast and during a sale, it’s a lot more - basically takes the fare back to the non-sale amount. So a bit of turnoff IMHO. Otherwise, I would happily consider JQ “Business” in the future.

Unfortunately as the article stated many Jetstar flights from Australia to Asia are operated by A320's without these 'Business' seats and that applies to the Perth - Singapore route. If they flew the B787 on this route I would certainly consider using them either to connect with a 'cheap'' J class fare out of Singapore on airlines like QR or even just for a holiday trip. I don't need a lie flat seat for the around 5 hours trip between Perth and Singapore. No airline offers Premium Economy on this route. SCOOT has been fine on the couple of times that we have used them but they mainly only offer just a better seat.
 
It's worth noting that the menus detailed in the article are quite old and are slightly more cut back post covid.

All drinks except for the wine match the same options on the buy onboard menu. In addition they used to have different menus for different routes (eg the Japanese routes would have a Japanese option) but this no longer seems to be the case.

I dislike the type of seats shown as if the seat next to oneself is vacant, it isn't possible to lie down/stretch over the latter due to the huge fixed armrest.

On quite a few airlines, W class can be worse than Y for this reason.

On no account would I fly Jetstar even in Y or 'poor man's business class'.
