Denpasar to Darwin tonight. No seat pocket. Probably gonna start charging if you want some storage area.

I don’t think Emergency Exit Rows have pockets?

That type of seat on the JQ A320 doesn’t have pockets at any seat on the aircraft.

 

[A321]

There are a number of aircraft in the fleet going around without the mesh pockets at knee level. I've found the ex JQ Japan birds don't (despite having winglets) and a few others scattered, should have paid attention to regos.

How bizarre. I fly JQ (and JJP!) a lot and have never had a seat without a pocket. Perhaps they're just damaged and there's no replacements available... the mesh ones do seem to get ripped/picked at by passengers a lot.

ex Japan-YX regos & ex Jetstar Asia-XN regos. All don’t have seat pockets.

The only AU-aircraft without seat pockets are VFY/VQE/VQF/VQM

Thanks. Never knew this was a thing.
I'm in my 40's and have never been on a flight in my entire life that hasn't had seat pockets.
It was a real pain.

Even better the old VA planes that have the pocket but phone slides straight through to the floor!

I just hope we don't end up with those Spirit tray tables too.

Jetstar has added another livery tweak to its long list of Airbus liveries. They have moved from the glossy silver to a matte grey. Apparently easier for patch jobs and it’s lighter.

[Saab34]

The first batch of 18xA321LRs have now come to a close, with the last one arriving a few days ago.

The next bunch of deliveries are 13xA320Neos before the 321s kickoff again in the coming years right up until the end of the decade.

The 1st A320N has just completed its first flight. Remains to be seen where they will go, assuming longer missions.

They still have another 4 A321LRs due soon - OIR/OYV/OYW/OYX.

The 320 looks good in the new livery.

XLRs?

XLRs?

LRs. Not sure what order they're from.

The most recent fleet updates from the QF Group results show a total of 12 LRs due for JQ in FY25 and FY26.

The first JQ XLRs were initially due in FY26 but that's been pushed back.
