Jetstar Airways

Screaming kids all the way Melbourne to Singapore. Staff did nothing about them toddlers were allowed to run up and down the aisle disturbing other passengers. Bought 3 tickets 6 months ago with assigned seating in row 1. We were all bumped off our seats when we went to check in. Wondering why we were moved from row 1 a very rude staff member barked at me saying "there are babies on this flight so we need the bassinets seats". Well on boarding there were no babies in row 1. Seats were cramped and no leg room whatsoever once seat in front is reclined. Audio selection was very poor on some strange ipad type of unit. Beware of Jetstar business class absolutely dreadful.

MEL-SYD return. Both flights delayed 30 mins. Seat pitch on A320 on the way up very tight. Lucky had empty middle seat. Ok for short flights but for anything longer than 2 hours very uncomfortable. A321 on flight back. Seat pitch marginally better. Both flights very smooth and cabin crew did their jobs ok.

SYD-NAN. We were delayed 1 hour. The actual flight itself was reasonable but until someone's bottle of water dripped on my husband and other fellow passengers from the overhead compartment. Cabin crew cleaned up the water and were friendly. The new iPads for inflight entertainment was great. It is great to keep the kids entertained during the flight. Food was nice and the seats were also comfortable. Overall a good flight with Jetstar.

Travelling domestically and flight was delayed for 3.5 hours. Never once were passengers advised of why flight was delayed or when it could be expected to depart. Constantly changing departure times up on electronic displays. Staff surly and uninformed as to details of delay or when flight was to depart. Customer service and simple communication seriously lacking. 3rd bad experience. Will never fly them again.

Having gained my seat allocation and boarding pass online my partner and I made our way to Brisbane airport. The flight we had booked was JQ487 leaving at 19.55pm. Arrived in plenty of time and heard the first call to get seats. Made our way to the gate where a rather nasty young blonde woman stopped us to say our bags were too big for hand luggage. She insisted we stop and measure my partners bag. Once we boarded every overhead luggage compartment had luggage identical to mine and my partners all the same size and shape. I do not appreciate the rudeness of the crew who are paid for customer service. The only thing that saved the flight was the apology made by the steward who gave good service. Your flight staff are great but ground crew a lot to be desired!

Melbourne - Launceston. Staff rude and not interested in passengers. No boarding call made and had to run to gate after hearing the final boarding call. Plane delayed further as they hadn't fuelled the aircraft. Seat pitch very poor and seat uncomfortable. Hardly any legroom. Food and Beverages ok. Just like any other airline same old food. I would not recommend Jetstar.

Booked and paid for Qantas tickets return SYD-HNL. On arrival at Honolulu airport we found out we were in fact flying Jetstar. After taking our seats we were told that as we were Qantas passengers we would be getting a comfort pack 2 meals and 2 drinks. Asked for an iPad each to watch movies but were told we needed to pre-book them. There were spare consoles but they were for the passengers who had paid for them in case they had battery issues! When the meals came around I asked for a water and a juice but was told flatly that I could only have one cold and one hot drink how ridiculous! Cabin service was non existent when the steward eventually came to take our order they had run out of Diet Pepsi with 4 hours still to go in the flight. The best thing about the flight was getting off the plane and getting on the Qantas plane back to Brisbane. What a pleasant change in the staff from glum to cheery. Never again Jetstar!

AKL-SIN-KUL return. Flight itself was good. Seat was comfortable though the leg rest on the seat of the return flight was not as adjustable as the outward flight. Meals were ok as airline food goes. Glad we paid the extra to fly business. Only snag we had was the booking we made. Our return flight from K Lumpur to Singapore and onto Auckland we were told that we had to go through immigration collect our bags go through customs then check in again and go through immigration again to board our flight from Singapore to Auckland! Though we were travelling with Jetstar right through they couldn't check our bags through to Auckland. Reason given was the booking numbers. Wished that we were told when we booked with Jetstar. Luckily it happened in Changi Airport as they are super efficient that we managed to do that with little stress.

DRW-DPS-DRW. Check-in quick. Staff polite and helpful. Departure slightly delayed due to late arrival of aircraft from southern port. Flight uneventful. Ordered a sandwich and was pleasantly surprised. Check-in at DPS was quick. Counter staff very helpful and polite. Flight left early. Very smooth and quiet. Arrived in DRW early. Baggage available quickly. My major concern is that Jetstar frequently either cancels or delays flights for no apparent reason. Getting to and from anywhere on time seems to be a matter of luck.

Purchased sale fairs to Japan from Sydney to Tokyo via Cairns. A330 is far better then the single body A320 as the seats recline further and are wider. Seats are comfortable and roomy. Paid food and good and tasty while the paid entertainment is a bit scarce in options. All flights were on time.
