Qantas SYD&MEL to SIN $510 ret ($410 through .br site)

Have NO expectations with jetstar

Seriously, don't even expect to fly on the day you book because chances are they will cancel your flight!

I have flown JQ a bit, and have never had a cancelled flight. Maybe you are thinking of TT.

+1 north of 300 flights for me and not one cancelled.

I'd say both of you are pretty lucky... although that said when JQ cancel flights, it gets much messier to fix than most others.

Always keep your expectations low with Qantas and you may not be disappointed...

At least J* still fly internationally out of Perth...

But over the last several years its been pretty much 'enhancement' after 'enhancement' with QF... Its seems a bit rare that things move in the positive direction, so this little trick being curtailed shouldn't be that much of a surprise...

Only 6 legs for me booked and 1 cancelled, resulting in 7 legs flown.

Some people have only ever had 1 JQ flight and it was cancelled.

Just like the time I had an A3 return booking 3 days apart and both flights cancelled . What are the odds of that happening?

That could occur on any airline. How many of your J* flights have been cancelled?

 

[Aussie_flyer]

I've flown JQ/3K at least 40 times, never had a cancel yet. Had a few minor time changes. I don't feel they are any more reliable or unreliable than most other carriers

I think he's only flown one...that's the point.... you'd sooner see him in a coffin before a Jetstar aircraft....

I've had quite a few late departures of JQ flights, admittedly not one cancellation.

Fixing up cancellations or flight schedule changes which screw with other arrangements is where JQ are not near the best - be lucky actually if they're on average. And of course, there is the perpetual no-links from its parent.

Just like a "good" father-son relationship. Son says my dad is so-and-so, feels good about it, but does his own thing. When a father sees his son do well, he's proud, but when the son stuffs up, it's, "Who is this son of mine you speak of?"


Anyway...what an O/T drift.

looks like even expedia.co.nz fares are gone now, same price as Qantas.com

pretty sure he knows that he's never flown with them, doesn't everyone? that's why he said it, zero cancellations on JQ for JohnK

I had an itinerary BNE-BKK saved 2 days ago for NZD711 with a cheap hotel in Lad Krabang for 1 night. The next day it shot up to NZD865. I could not be bothered. Booked a better itinerary with Qantas for ~AUD820.

 

[Buzzard]

Some years ago I had a JQ flight cancelled. I needed to be in Syd for a connection so a next day reschedule was no use. They would only refund if I was able to book another flight on the same day as the original booking which I was able to do with QF. Have only flown JQ once since then as I had to get to Newcastle.. Next time I fly to NCL I will go via BNE on QF. I loath Jetcrap.

Some cheaps still on expedia.br.

Just saw on flyertalk DUB-PER return for around ~$600 for selected dates.

Amazing! Flights to Australia from Dublin for Only
