Kind of odd you had to recheck your bags in MEL, especially when both legs were on the same airline. I flew CBR-MEL-BKK on Virgin Aus and Thai on one itinerary and bags were checked all the way through.
@EconomyTraveller28 күн бұрын
Yeah it's a good point. Just a guess here but perhaps interlining bags creates an extra cost for the airline that they're trying to avoid.

Thank you for sharing. Can your seat turn into a bed? I wondering how did this compare to Scoot Plus?
@alexlong3714Ай бұрын
No, the Jetstar Business seat cannot be turned into a flat bed, Qantas Business class seat, you can.

It can't be turned into a bed.. I think the seat is pretty similar to scoot plus.

Worth noting we flew to Ho Chi Ming 5 weeks ago. had booked the cheapest economy fare, however ongoing monitoring of the flight noticed not many seats booked in business. arrived early for our flight and approached the desk to see whether any business class seats were available. to my surprise yes and only cost around $350 each additional! definately made the 8.5 hour trip much more comfortable... great for day flights.. staff and food great also

Thanks for the review, have wanted to know if the extra money is worth it. Not so much interested re alcohol drinks etc (although very nice). My concern as I’ve got older is the extra room/comfortable seats as I get painful cramps especially in the legs if seat incline puts extra pressure on them. So my question is - can you recline the chair without inconveniencing the person behind, is there any sort of foot rest? (Airlines used to have a drop down foot rest bar which was some help).
@EconomyTravellerАй бұрын
Thanks for your comment and the question. Yes there is a decent foot rest bar to help you recline. If you want a guilt free recline with nobody behind you, you can always choose row 3 - according to SeatGuru it will be slightly more limited recline in 3A & 3C (the rest of the row is fine). Happy travels!

I was 1kg over on my carry on luggage and was charged $75 from Syd - Melb. Another example of the Qantas group price gouging and the ACCC should look into this to justify this charge. The whole ticket was $99 lol😂. I have written a complaint and will never fly with the Qantas group again!

Even their economy seat on their new A321 Neos is good, if you don't mind paying the extra for an exit row. Actually prefer to do exit row Jetstar on a new plane than squished into a standard economy seat on a 20 yo qantas plane.

nice review but...I've flown the Dreamliner for many years. Star class is just not worth the considerably higher price. it's just a wide arse seat. really you don't need food. I've flown $300-400 return to Thailand mostly and there are very comfortable seat options in economy. $1000 buys a week at the Banyan Tree Hotel in Bangkok with breakfast. not worth it.
