Thanks, and I understand the time limitations having flown a great deal over the past 35 years, however Jetstar stated on the paperwork I had that check-in close 60 minutes before departure for international flights. I double checked this to ensure I was not at fault before lambasting the staff. And on this particular occasion the girl I finally spoke with claimed to have been at the desk at the time I arrived there, and I was gauging the time by the terminal clock. I know she had packed up early simply because she wasn't there when she said she was and this was corroborated by the lad on the excess baggage counter. I was obviously the last passenger to check-in and she obviously got sick of waiting.
I have been a platinum flyer for a number of years with Qantas, I have flown with all other major airlines across Asia and the US and some rather dubious ones in Indonesia and the Philippines as well, and I get better service checking in and flying with the likes of Lion Air and Cebu Pacific than I ever do with Jetstar. I note that you are also Darwin based so you would understand that with Qantas pulling all full service aircraft from international routes, we are held to ransom by this mediocre airline who now has a monopoly on all northbound flights from here.
"Not Happy Jan!"
