Jetstar to move to MEL T4

[AdMEL]

Sensible assumptions but, my experience is that reality can be very different.

A different airline, for sure, but I was checking VA's estimated departure and arrival times the other day using the net and they certainly didn't resemble the real situation. So, yes, you can use your mobile but with the distance between terminals you might regret that you trusted what you read. I'd prefer to follow the screens and announcements and, as you would probably be aware, those too can be far from accurate.

Yes, reality often has no sense or logic!

Screens inaccurate ... Yes, quite aware they can be! I recall getting to MEL for a VA flight to SYD a little later than I should have a couple of years (arrived at 6.15 am for a 6.30 am flight), only to find no mention of my flight on the screens! I eventually found out it had been cancelled, but I would have thought it would have shown as such on the screens! No communication from VA though.

I believe from a cursory glance that T3/T4 a planned to be connected airside.

That will be good for VA/JQ connections, but of course doesn't help QF/JQ.

Also good for TT/JQ and TT/VA connections - if there is such a thing ...

I'm sure some people try it :shock:

It will obviously be a much much further walk and will require going through two security screening points

Dare I say this might have been one of the influencing factors of deciding to move JQ to T4? Still offer QP access so they can market it but make it so inconvenient people dont use it?!

Maybe they'll build a passenger tunnel under T2 and connect the airside of T1,3,4.

Sure, about the same time as they do the subway station...

Also, are there any destinations out of MEL currently that are only served by JQ and not QF?

NTL as well.

Has there been a tentative move date? Sometime this year?

Yep I like using the QF Pub prior to Jetstar flights to NTL.... moving that flight to T4 is going to suck.

I've noted on evening NTL flights a large number of QF Gold/Plat flyers as well.

Is Tiger moving to the budget terminal too? At least you can people watch - that is what I do when I have to fly from the budget terminal in Syd!

Yes. T4 will be TT and JQ

Yes. T4 will be TT and JQ

And Rex I believe.

Knew I was forgetting something...
