"Rows squeezed in so tight"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | Rows squeezed in so tight that even as a 166cm short man who is not fat the tray table is touching my belly and I can’t even use it to write on without elbowing my neighbours. I don’t know how the tall man across the aisle from me is coping. We are also stuck on the tarmac waiting for the toilet holding tanks to be emptied. Been delayed half an hour already with no word on how long it will take to fix the problem (if we will depart at all). The seat pocket is too small for a drink bottle. I only flew Jetstar because it was cheap but I think I’ll stick to other airlines in future.

"not human or at least tall human friendly"

(New Zealand)

Trip Verified | Luckily wasn't a long flight. I'm 6 foot 3 or 191 cm. My knees were rubbing on the seat, had no room for getting my legs to stretch underneath and if i was leaning with my back on the seat was even worse so I had to use an inflatable neck pillow to overcome it. Design not human or at least tall human friendly.

"no way I could get comfortable"

(Australia)

Not Verified | Despite originally paying extra for an exit row we were allocated an up-front seat, and that was bad for us. I am just on 6ft tall and my knees were rubbing the back of the seta in front. This was an overnight flight and they was no way I could get comfortable enough to get any sleep. The room is so tiny that the tray tables can't be lowered all the way to allow you to put any drinks or meals on them. Thank goodness the person in front of me didn't/couldn't recline their seat!

"the seat was pretty good!"

(Australia)

Not Verified | For a budget airline, the seat was pretty good! It was mostly clean and quite spacious. The aisle was quite cramped though and you really had to squeeze through. On newer planes you get a pocket to store things which is nice. There's a mostly clean tray table which moves easily. No power or screen though, so make sure you charge your devices!

"Seats are so close together"

(Australia)

Not Verified | My wife and I flew from Adelaide to Bali and return in May. We only fly this route and with Jetstar as it was the only airline with direct flights. Average flying time is around 5 hours. Another airline has recently started operating a direct flight. Seats are so close together that you exit the aircraft with virtual knee rash. The seat incline is minimal. Obviously the dollar is almighty. A feature of the aircraft which disturbed me was that seats were so positioned that they obstructed ease of access to the wing emergency exits. The chicken meal we pre purchased was mediocre. The flavour was mediocre, and the presentation - ugh! It put my wife and I off eating. Next time we will be taking our own bread rolls. I cannot criticise the crew.

"hardly any legroom"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | I sat in one of their upfront seats which is supposed to be one of the better ones but was disappointed to find that there was hardly any legroom. It was right in the front and despite a redline on the floor passengers seated behind could not seem to keep in the aisle and kept spilling over into my seat space and children treading on my armrest as they were being carried in by their parents. The flight left late because there were a lot of passengers who did not stick to their allocated seats and one that somehow made it to the door without their boarding pass. Dirt was noticeable everywhere even on the bright orange uniforms. Cabin crew were particularly noisy in the galley and I often felt them bumping against the board in front. What was particularly bad in terms of customer service however was that there was only 1 magazine for seats 1A to 1F and although initially I was lucky to have it the head cabin crew snatched it from my pocket without asking to check the price of a blanket for a rear seated (and less entitled passenger) and never returned it even though I never had a chance to read it.

"packed full like sardines"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | Avalon - Sydney. Plane was packed full like sardines. Seats were thin. Surrounding passengers somehow thought the seat cover velcro slot was intended as a seat pocket and they were putting all sorts of bulky likely overweight items in it such that I felt the sharp pounding in my back the whole flight. I would have thought the cabin crew would stop children from being a nuisance but on this flight they did not care. I tried to contact jetstar 3 times on their supposed 24/7 chat to raise this but did not get through. No seat power, no access to air conditioning vent, poor window positioning split between 2 of them. I would immediately choose any other airline if they take up this route. I also thought the airline advertising on the overhead cabinets looked terrible and overtly repetitive. Maybe it was to hide some blemishes.

"seat experience was good"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | The overall seat experience was good for such a short flight, with plenty of legroom and recline, while the width is a bit on the narrow side but it's understandable. They seem very new, which got me excited about trying out some of the new seat Jetstar had fitted to their fleet. The texture of the synthetic leather feels decent though, and the cushioning is a little bit on the thin side, but this resulted in a dramatically deduced seat thickness, thus slightly increasing the amount of legroom while retaining the same seat pitch. Overall a good low fare economy seat offered by Jetstar, and I would recommend it.

"had very little legroom"

(Australia)

I know it's a "you get what you pay for" service but Jetstar sure do push things to the limit. I'm not a large person (about 5ft 6 in) and I'm not overweight but I felt like I was caged in with the seating provided. The tray table only just opened properly, I had very little legroom, the back of the seat in front seemed very close, and it all felt very claustrophobic. Getting in and out of the seat was a challenge and I hate to think what the trip would have been like if I was a tall person or the person in front had reclined their seat. Jetstar is not for me in the future I think. The only good thing was I didn't have to watch the safety demonstration because I couldn't see over the seat in front of me.

"Complaint lodged with Jetstar"

(Australia)

Wife and daughter boarded plane with allocated boarding pass for front row seats 10A and 10B On entering the plane, a young couple had moved into these seats. Cabin staff said "they had paid extra for extra legroom seats" Complete rubbish as all "upfront seats" are $25 extra. Wife and daughter had to sit in 12A and 12B which smelled of vomit - the real reason I think why this couple decided to move. Row 12 is nearer to the toilets also. Very unprofesssional on part of cabin crew, and they would not have tried such a stunt if it was male passengers. It is a breach of air safety to change seats until after the flight has levelled off after takeoff. Complaint lodged with Jetstar. We travel with Jetstar many times on this route. Generally OK. This stunt would not be allowed on any major carrier. I think it was also discrimination against two travelling females. Male passengers would not put up with this treatment. And the plane was 3 hours late departing just to add insult to injury.
