"their support did not help us at all"

(Czech Republic)

Verified Review | Jetstar Asia cancelled our flight from Kansai Osaka to Manila due to weather conditions. They made no refund to us, and their support did not help us at all. Only offered a different flight which lasted several days, with multiple transfers. Missed all connecting flights and lost lot of money due to cancellation on their side.

"customer service is atrocious"

(Singapore)

Verified Review | Jetstar's customer service is atrocious if you ever need to cancel a ticket. Last week I bought a ticket for my domestic helper to return for home visit in Dec. She has since changed her mind and doesn't want to return home, but I have not been able to get any help from Jetstar with regard to a refund or travel voucher because I bought a basic economy ticket (almost equivalent in price to a return ticket on a full service flag carrier). Customer service has refused to consider anything, except to say that I bought a non-refundable ticket, so too bad. If I make my helper pay for changing her mind, it would be a month's salary! I have no intention to ever buy another ticket from Jetstar!

"cheap flights are not worth the hassle"

(Singapore)

Verified Review | The cheap flights are not worth the hassle, for my flight from Manila to Singapore, check-in was slow, excess baggage fee of $100, inability to check in online, no customer support and of course the jammed seats. Jetstar Asia is a step down from the Japan counterpart. I recommend paying extra $80 and flying Singapore Airlines or even AirAsia. Last time I fly Jetstar in Asia.

"consider flying with them again"

(Singapore)

Verified Review | Hong Kong to Singapore. Flight was operated by an A320. Boarding time was supposed to start at 7:55pm, but the aircraft didn't even arrive until 8:10pm! Boarding was fast and efficient, although sitting in a window seat meant that I had to squeeze past 2 ladies to reach my seat, and I really do mean squeeze - the seat pitch was very narrow and the seats didn't even recline more than a few degrees, suppose this is the standard for LCCs. Once boarding was finished, we couldn't push back-the pilot told us that due to traffic at Hong Kong airport, our pushback would be delayed! The scheduled departure time was 8:25pm, but combining the late arrival of the aircraft and the heavy traffic, we didn't even take-off until 9:37pm. In the end, we arrived in Singapore at 1AM, 1 hour behind scheduled. There was no wi-fi or entertainment offered on board. The saving grace of this flight was the cabin service. During boarding, the cabin service was dismal - they didn't even greet the passengers and generally didn't feel very warm. However, after take-off, they did improve their quality of service a lot-very responsive, every request was attended to quickly. After landing, they also apologized for the delay and the "inconvenience resulted to passengers". All in all, although the seat was really cramped and the flight was delayed by 1 hour, the saving grace was still the cabin service, and given the price, I might consider flying with them again.

"didn't get any drink"

(Singapore)

Verified Review | Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. In the beginning, I thought the cabin crew were doing a good job because they persisted to get passengers' attention during safety instructions. However I called the crew 3 times to get a mineral bottle, and didn't get any drink because it was too late. They said that the plane was going to land soon. It was just a short trip and the cabin crew just couldn't act faster. I was thirsty and ready to pay $4 for a Dasani bottle.

"Will never fly Jetstar again"

(Poland)

Verified Review | Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City. The flight was due to take off at 21.00 but didn't take off until 23.00. The aircraft turned out to be leased by Vueling with an all-Spanish crew (plus one token Vietnamese flight attendant). There was no apology whatsoever from the crew about the 2hr delay. They seemed completely oblivious to this fact. Throughout the whole flight there were no announcements from the flight deck. It's as if they assumed no one would understand their English. When the paid food trolley came round there were no sandwiches available as displayed on the menu. Again no apology from the crew. Overall it was an awful service. Will never fly Jetstar again!!

"airline delaying so frequently"

(Singapore)

Verified Review | Jakarta to Singapore. I am a frequent flyer for business, flying at least 3-4 times a month with various airlines in the region. I have never known an airline delaying so frequently and are unapologetic about it. This is the second time in 8 months and I have only taken less than 5 flights with them during this period. Seems like it is a norm for them, flight from Bangkok (cancelled) and and 4.5 hours in Jakarta to Singapore. Jetstar ought to be in the 'delay' business. After their catastrophe, you would expect a ground Manager to make decisions and attend to your queries. However, they left junior staff on the ground to deal with the situation on both occasions. If you want to make sure you are able to travel on the time and date you want, do not fly Jetstar unless you like to sit around the airport or enjoy having your flights cancelled or overbooked.

"broke emergency regulations"

(United Kingdom)

Verified Review | Singapore to Jakarta. First and last experience, would not get on another Jetstar Asia flight if you paid me, they broke emergency regulations and had nobody over 16 years old to open an exit sat at any of the overwing exits. I confronted the cabin manager who was rude, didn't let me speak, pointed in my face and told me that AirAsia and TigerAir do stuff like this? I told her my point was that an A320 is an A320 it shouldn't matter where in the world you are, the safety regulations are there for a reason. When I spoke to customer services they were the most unhelpful you could expect from a customer service experience imaginable.

"seats do not recline much"

(Thailand)

Verified Review | I've flown Jetstar between Singapore and Bangkok four times in 2 months. The flights were on time and the cabin crew efficient. The announcements can be unclear at times and hard to make out what's being said. The seats do not recline much so it can be a little unbearable depending on how rested you are. The gates for the flights from Bangkok tend to be quite a long walk away from the immigration clearance area so you need to set aside sufficient time for the walk there comfortably.

"a disappointing experience"

(Singapore)

Verified Review | Flew on 3K664 from Kuala Lumpur back to Singapore with Jetstar Asia. I purchased this ticket for its cheap price, but I think I made a big mistake. I can say that this airline has entered my avoid list. It is so much worse than AirAsia which I have always flown and relied on, and I think even Tigerair is more enjoyable on this short flight. The boarding process was extremely chaotic and unorganized. The cabin and windows were extremely dirty, I can imagine the cabin will look very dull if it is a night flight. All the onboard refreshments are overpriced and the cabin crews always advertising the different services. I will never fly with Jetstar Asia again after such a disappointing experience.
