[@PaulStewartAviation]

I've been surprised by the amount of negative responses I've got in this video and I wanted to clarify some things. Firstly, the point of my reviews are to show you what the flight is really like rather than a photoshopped advertisement you'll get from the airline. I consider it my responsibility to be honest, so if the crew ignore my call bell for 15 minutes, I'm going to mention it. Secondly, I possibly came across more negatively than I intended. I actually think Jetstar are a good low cost carrier and other than the poor service on this flight and the annoying windows (more of a Boeing issue), they're pretty good. The 787 is also a pretty good aircraft. As I mentioned towards the end of the video, I was able to travel 1000kms in absolutely comfort and and safety, and for this I am certainly honoured. Having said that, I'll continue to publish how the flight actually is so if it's perceived as negative and unkind, well I guess you better only watch videos from the airline themselves.

[@workhardtravelharder9313]

Thanks for the clarification Paul! I personally love your honest reviews.

[@archietravers6591]

Just watched this vid and I loved it. We've travelled Jetstar business 8 times, four times on the Airbus whatever and four times on the 787. Everytime the seats have been buggered yes even the 787 and on the Airbus one time my tray table ended up a flat piece of wood! BUT apart from the food one time back from Singapore being out of the garbage bin, I have always enjoyed the flights. The international crews are way better than the Aussies and the food and drink has been generally first rate. Didn't know the 787 had the little section behind BC and when I saw the woman with the hands over the back of the seat i undwrstood why we have travelled everytime seats 1A/1C. Now I know that means something different to you Paul but has made our last flights enjoyable. A long winded way of saying I thought your opinion on this flight was fine,

[@yay-3012]

Fuck off If I want to recline my seat on a 30 min flight I will. If you don’t like the leg room get off KZbin and get a job to pay for Business/First class. You also mislead people saying you were in business class. You were in an economy seat with a few extra inches. Bunch of amateur flyers on KZbin spouting off diarrhea of the mouth.

@@yay-3012 I've clearly said I flew in economy class and it's written clearly in the video title. My next video will be business class and you'll be able to see the difference.

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Chur bro ;)

[@hearliam]

Iv'e flown Jetstar quite a bit, and apart from the odd cancellation they are pretty good on the whole, except the 7kg carry on luggage, while I don't have a problem with that, and we all should adhere to the rules. The problem is, like my wife and I experienced on a flight, a gentleman who sat next to my wife had to have been 150kg, now I got nothing against fat people, but they strictly police the 7kg carry on, and your stowed luggage as well, yet someone who is twice or three times the weight of the average person can fly and nothing gets said, bit unfair I reckon

[@nolsp7240]

I think it's because those overhead bins with their plastic door catches might not be strong enough to contain all the luggage in case of sudden plane movement.

[@alistairharris7891]

Nolsp no it’s pure cost of the weight. Google the cost of extra weight on fuel cost for aircraft. You will be amazed how they try and save weight.

[@nolsp7240]

@@alistairharris7891 You're probably right. I still wouldn't trust those overhead bins with too much weight.

[@alistairharris7891]

Nolsp yeah neither

[@nolsp7240]

@Indo Surfer I've only ever tried Jetstar Asia (Japan). They were very strict with hand carry luggage weight and dimensions. I found the short flights pleasant and acceptable for a budget price.

[@mwbgaming28]

heres a life hack for anyone flying (Jetstar Yaystar) domestic and is sick of the 7KG weight limit when they put a tag on your carry on bag, dont throw it away, keep it in good condition and use it on future jetstar flights they never check the weight of bags that already have an orange tag i have brought 30kg+ on board in my carry on and just got waved past the weight counter during boarding it works everytime (but only for carry on) and i fly between adelaide and sydney at least once a month using this trick to save around $60 per flight on baggage charges

[@davidrayner9832]

If the aircraft was at its maximum take off weight and everyone did that...........

[@no_bull]

@@davidrayner9832 they never take off fully laden. inconsistencies of overweight PAX and luggage (even if paid overweight tax) is always accommodated.

[@mwbgaming28]

this trick likely wont work if more than 10-20 people do it per flight, its pretty much guaranteed that the gate staff would get suspicious and start retagging peoples bags and even if they did fly at the calculated MTOW, the airlines use estimates for passengers and carry on bags, those estimates are 75KG per passenger and 10KG per carry on bag (which is more than the 7KG carry on limit) and even if the plane was above its rated MTOW, manufacturers add safety margins into those ratings to account for exactly this situation and as KPAracing said, they never take off anywhere near MTOW as its obscenely inefficient (and therefore expensive) i would estimate that any plane from a budget carrier like jetstar on a domestic flight would be flying at less than half of its MTOW the real risk is if everyone on the plane did this, the gate staff didnt notice and that caused the plane to run out of fuel (seeing as budget carriers tend to fly with barely enough to get there in the first place) 30 odd people carrying 4X the weight allowance would only really cause problems on ultra long international flights (which jetstar doesnt operate, and other airlines actually check and retag carry on bags on internatinal routes to combat this trick) and thats only if the plane is running on fumes when it nears the airport or if the weather is exceptionally hot on arrival (higher temps = reduced lift from the wings)

[@lonewolf-jf4fl]

Obviously you don't know that every single baggage tags are like a legal document. Any trick you decide to pull, playing with bag tags or it's weight is an offence under Australia aviation law. Not only they will make you pay at the boarding gate times two but also could serve you with an infringement. So save yourself the embarrassment and the chat with the australian federal police, just purchase proper luggage allowance or pack your carry on accordingly. Yours sincerely, person who works for the company as a ground management crew. ✌🏻

[@mwbgaming28]

@@lonewolf-jf4fl im not talking about the barcoded tags that are put on your checked luggage, im talking about the orange tags the gate staff put on your carry on bag so they know which bags they have weighed (all tags are identical), those tags are put on your bag just before you get on the plane 7KG is basically nothing, my laptop alone uses most of that allowance lmao and im sure as hell not buying a business class ticket just to get an extra 3KG of carry on or waiting an hour for the baggage guys to quit smoking weed and get my bag off the plane (and probably break whatever is inside it in the process) besides, even if i didnt put all the extra weight in my bag, i would do what i used to do and put all the heavy stuff in my pockets and simply wear all my clothes at once (which achieves the same effect and there's nothing anyone can do about it) if the safety of the aircraft is your reasoning, answer this whats the difference between me wearing all my clothes/putting the heaviest items in my pockets, vs simply reusing a tag to avoid getting my carry on bag weighed during boarding (and having the bonus of not getting heatstroke from wearing my entire holiday wardrobe during the flight)?

[@thrillcraftmcg5804]

The crew ignoring you is an unacceptable behavior as it is a sign of bad service. Crew is different on different flights so I guess you got unlucky that day. Personally I think Jetstar is a nice 👍 alternative to legacy carriers. Nice Trip Report Paul 😃👍

[@maccladoz]

Nice review however I don't agree with your opinion that passengers shouldn't recline their seats. There could be any number of reasons why passengers recline seats during short flights, there could be health issues at play and perhaps the reclined seat helps relieve pain. The passenger may have just come from a long haul flight and was trying to get some rest. And the most obvious reason, it is a function of the seat and unless told by flight crew not to, then they are perfectly within their rights to recline their seat if they so desire. Personally I don't recline my seat on short flights but I'm not bothered if somebody in front does, just part of the joys of flying in economy.

[@WorksOnMyComputer]

Ok. Lets keep some seats reserved for those who have these health issues and for everyone else lets put electronic locks on the seats so they can't be reclined on short flights. If the cabin crew can control the windows, they might as well control the seats. Fixed.

[@Self37]

I too have never understood the hysteria about seat reclining. I've been on countless short and long-haul flights. I've never been inconvenienced by anyone reclining their seat. I don't know why it bothers so many people.

[@Self37]

@Telaan Dias if you we're sitting in front of me, I'd welcome you to recline your seat and enjoy your flight. Rest assured I'm feeling no pain. 🤣🤣

[@LBJackson4]

@@Self37 It bothers me because I'm 6'4 (193cm), 240lbs (109kg). Sure, the easiest solution could be to just book economy plus seats/business class I travel, but I don't have that kind of money to splurge on upgrading my seats every time I fly. The best thing I can do to make my flying experience somewhat easier in economy class is selecting aisle seats so that I can adjust my legs. Having a seat reclined all the way ends up on my knees, which makes for an uncomfortable ride. For that reason, I rarely recline my seat. The only time that I do is if it's there's a short woman, man or a child sitting behind me.

[@boatlover1875]

Oh, the seat recliner. In would never push my seat back when a frequent traveler except on a red eye when everyone was sleeping. What I would do as soon as I sat down was put my air vent on high and point it straight ahead so if the person in front of me wasn't as nice would get a nice cool breeze if they put their seat back. Once or twice someone got rude or tried to adjust my vent, the extra entertainment was free. As information, this works particularly well on the A320 series for some reason.

Can't stand that tint

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Infuriating!

[@gregorybaker330]

Keep the integrity and honesty Paul and you are the best in this field and many of us travel as much as you do and we agree with you but being an non.infotainment presenter gives authenticity and I look forward to seeing you in a lounge somewhere one day and greeting you.

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Thanks Gregory!

Jetstar yaystar! Excellent review, I’ll be boarding this aircraft in November

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Safe flight!

I hate people who recline

[@anthonykernich1035]

someone did it 5 mins into a 14 hour flight from Melbourne to LAX

[@henrypereira1745]

So the person Infront of you has to be considerate of you. But not you of them.... Recline is there to be used for comfort. Of course during meal service you shouldn't recline out of consideration.

[@MrMorjo]

I've never felt the need to recline onboard plane. But if I did feel the need I would check with behind me first. It's just a polite thing to do and I'd hate to have someones drink fall over onto them and so on. The lady with her hands over onto the other side of the seat is just plain rude, I blame her parents for teaching poor manners. However, what do you expect from a Jetstar flight, you're going to surrounded by some selfish ill-mannered riff raff, but it is a sign of the times.

[@mwbgaming28]

I got into a fistfight durung a flight because some asshole decided to recline his seat without warning and ended up crushing my laptop screen (the fight was because he wouldn't apologize or pay for repairs) These days I carry a gadget that jams the seat reclining mechanism so cunts can't break my stuff If he or she asks I will remove the device but I keep it wedged in the reclining mechanism so I have some warning to move my gear out of the way

[@peterculling4168]

If you pay for the seat do whatever you want to do to feel comfortable don't listen to these guys !

[@planetark]

Paul, fantastic review of JQ (Jetstar Yaystar)

[@hughrothwell7522]

Great video as always, Paul. Short flight recliners also give me the cranks so once on a flight from ADL to SYD I got my revenge on a recliner by continually burping over his head. I think it’s safe to say that I won that battle. Nice work on the #welovethegong shoutout. (Jetstar Yaystar)

[@PaulStewartAviation]

There's always the accidental and repetitive movement of one's knee in close proximity to the seat back too ;)

[@michaelgask]

great sad face there, Paul... I hope that you don't get too many opportunities to use it 🤣 Cheers and Happy New Year to you. Another great (and fair!) review. Enjoy your next flight.

QF also have a 787 BNE-MEL on a Sunday QF617 for anyone wanting to give it a go. I don’t think they do it in reverse though, it comes from LA lands at 5am so I am guessing they get rotated round for servicing as the plane then continues on as WF9.

[@Ryanboothvideos]

Love the video, hilarious as always ( JetStar YayStar)

[@calumthomson2108]

The GEnX 1B is a massive engine, I was lucky enough to have work experience at the GE Caledonian plant where they overhaul and repair both the GEnX and the older CF6. You cannot appreciate the size and technology of these engines until you are up close and inside them.

[@PaulStewartAviation]

They're pretty amazing! I recall having a good look at the 787 motor at the Museum of Flight and being amazed by how large it was.

[@stephenb8727]

[@philipbaker4003]

Thanks for the review and of the forward cabin. Of great interest as I’m flying on the Jetstar 787 (my first 787 flight) to Bali in a few weeks and have chosen seats in the forward cabin, row 12a. Looking forward to the bogan express 😆. Don’t blame me I won the trip!

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Enjoy your visit to Bali and your first flight in a 787!

[@125sloth]

Firstly, great video. I have done this trip from Brisbane to Melbourne on the 787 many times in the past 18 months. usually on a Saturday. As a Qantas Frequent Flyer member I have to book through Qantas, (as you get checked baggage included) ,who's site redirects you to the Jetstar site, to complete the booking.which I guess you would know. The problem is...if any Jetstar flight is cancelled or seriously delayed, as a Qantas booked passenger. Jetstar cannot advise you by text or any other method.. Normal Jetstar passengers are notified, but the Qantas computers cannot talk to Jetstar computers at short notice. They used to be able to, in fact Qantas phone staff could access the Jetstar system and fix issues right on the spot. not so these days. This flight was cancelled overnight before I travelled, (around 2am I believe), and only Jetstar booked passengers were notified, and they could change to selected Qantas flights online. But oh no, not us Qantas booked ones, even though we completed booking with Jetstar and had a Jetstar booking reference, as well as a Qantas one. I tried to phone Jetstar and after waiting 30 mins on phone, was told I would have to change flight through Qantas, even though I had a Jetstar booking reference number. Could not hang about anymore so went to airport as I had to be in Melbourne by midday, no time to hang about on phones at home. Of course by the time I get to airport, all seats on Qantas flights in morning were now full due to this Jetstar flight being cancelled, and all passengers spread out over about 6 Qantas flights. Earliest Qantas flight Jetstar could get me on...2pm. This is at 9am mind you. So to cut this rant shorter, I ended up paying over $400 for one way ticket to Melbourne, in order to get there by midday. It is a joke that in 2018, (at the time), Jetstar cannot notify Qantas passengers booked on Jetstar of cancellations and the options available. I had to fight to get my $400 dollars back, but I got it, after threats to go to media.Then had to get points not used reimbursed, as they thought I was on 2 pm Jetstar flight. What a bloody joke. I also now use Virgin. Their frequent flier program is better than Qantas anyway, and at least they notify customers of delays and cancellations. Rant complete.

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Thanks Brian. Yep, JQ are fine if things go smoothly, but if there's a problem, it's usually shambles. Hence why I'd rather pay a little extra to have the peace of mind knowing that I'll be looked after.

[@isaacflyaway]

Thanks for the review! I never knew that Jetstar operates the B787 for such a short domestic flight! :D

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Yep, it's a cheap way of catching the B787 if you're an avgeek that only travels domestically. :)

[@jackwillis6598]

Great review of the Jetstar Yaystar 787! Agree with the little economy section - it’s 15,000 times quieter (less people) and more comfy.

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Thanks Jack

[@felixh278]

Pretty awesome to have been able to access the First lounge! (Jetstar Yaystar)

[@grahamsmith7407]

Hi Paul nice honest video. Did you say this seat was an extra leg room seat, or standard economy? And were you able to put the tray table down flat without binding on your body? Like some of the other jetstar aircraft?

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Hi Graham, I must admit that I took this flight so many years ago that I can't remember. I think they are extra legroom seats up at the front but not 100% sure.

[@grahamsmith7407]

@@PaulStewartAviation thanks Paul, I get sick of not being able to put the tray table down flat, I’m not a big person but I wouldn’t dare put a hot coffee down on it otherwise I think id’e be wearing it? The seats are so close together on A321? It’s so not an enjoyable ride?

[@JayA330]

Hi Paul, another great video once again. I agree about the annoying window shades. It was even during the day! Why should they lock them. The window shades would have been fine if they allow you to adjust them yourself.

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Thanks Jason. Yeah I can understand them dimming the lights during a night flight with an early sunrise as to avoid waking everyone, but when it was a 60min flight in the afternoon...

I am travelling to Phuket soon on Jetstar. Hopefully it will be a good flight.

[@philkitchen5462]

I booked the Qantas 737 for my trip on the route next year (presume that’ll be the other terminal - so no First lounge I guess for me as a OWE). Hadn’t considered Jetstar tbh. - but sucks about the service on this flight. As for the windows, I do like them, provided they’re not locked out by the crew. Why would they bother on such a short flight?

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Yep, the 737s all depart the domestic terminal unless you're heading overseas. :)

[@markwarwick2920]

Great review Paul. I’ve heard the same comments on the window tint too from others. I’m amazed at the poor service. Never had that for me on Virgin. But always enjoy the wing shots.

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Thanks Mark

[@aaronarshad3687]

Why do some planes have different coloured noses, in this case why does this beautiful Jetstar 787-8 Dreamliner have a white nose?

[@PaulStewartAviation]

Hi Aaron, it's just a new part that would be painted soon. They may have put it on in a hurry and didn't want to cancel a flight simply to paint it. I was just being cheeky. :)

Do you do voiceovers or record the commentary during the flight?

Flown with Jetstar many times never had a problem all the hostesses were great never been ignored "speak up that helps"and the planes are looked after like all qantas planes are so don’t worry about maintenance like someone suggested

Yeh they're not too bad. I think I came across more negatively that I anticipated. I'll do a business class video shortly and will highlight that they're actually pretty good for a LCC.
