Is Jetstar’s NEWEST Aircraft worth the Hype? Let’s find out! | Trip report

G’day Jetsetters, AvGeeks and Viewers!
Once again, it’s been a while since I’ve uploaded! Apologies for that.
In today’s video we will explore what the experience is like onboard a Jetstar A321neo LR. This flight was 3 hours long from Cairns to Melbourne on JQ945 which I sometimes operated by an A321ceo (-200) but also by the A321neo. I haven’t made a review of the A321ceo but based on what I have seen and the experience I had on the neo, I’d recommend choosing a flight on a neo if available.
For the photos of the flight/cockpit, my instagram is: @tmoaviationyt
I do apologise for the occasional shaky footage and the windowsill being in the way and I’ve come to realise that sitting in the very back of an aircraft isn’t great for videography as the turbulence and yawing of the aircraft can be pretty intense back there.
Some information:
- Airline: Jetstar Australia (JQ/JST)
- Flight: JQ945/JST945
- Departing: Cairns International Airport YBCS (Terminal 2)
- Arriving: Melbourne Tullamarine Airport YMML (Terminal 4)
- Aircraft: Airbus A321neo LR
- Registration: VH-OFE
- Class: Economy
- Seat Number: 39A
- Departure Gate: 19
- Departure Runway: RWY 15 (150 HDG)
- Arriving Gate: G46
- Arriving Runway: RWY 16 (160 HDG)
The cabin crew on this flight were very friendly and attentive and were generous enough to allow me into the cockpit after the flight. The pilots were also very friendly and showed me all the controls as well as gave me advice for my future piloting career.
As always, thank you all very much for watching and I hope you enjoyed the video, I have some more videos lined up, if I have time I’ll try to upload the next video next week as I’m busy with schoolwork.
Have a great day or night, wherever you are in the world!

Having travelled quite a bit on Jetstar's A320, this A321neo definitely looks like a step up, even without the headrest. Thanks for sharing this video. Now I know what to look forward to when I try the A321neo for the first time. Great work.

Thank you so much! It means a lot that you enjoyed it! I genuinely enjoyed this flight even though I was in the very back row, the aircraft feels very new and sleek and I’m sure you’ll enjoy your flight when you go to fly on one!

After 9th months, the legend returned. (I don’t blame you flights are expensive nowadays)

[@tmoaviation]

Thanks for the welcome back! I’ve got some more trip reports to edit so hopefully I’ll have about 4 more coming out over the next few weeks.

@@tmoaviation oooo that’s great to hear, it always saddens me how underrated some channels are putting in great effort for high quality videos and not getting the “satisfied” amount of subs. Some trip report channels don’t deserve all there subs compared to you . But thank you for your high quality un biased reviews.

@@mrbeachbird612 thank you so much for your support and kind words! I do try my best so I’m glad people enjoy it!

nice video as always! when you mentioned about the lack of wifi.. they do have it but not internet but rather for the entertainment website, the paper in the seat pocket says 'jetstar entertainment'

[@tmoaviation]

Ahhh I see! Thanks for letting me know!
