Avoid this airline Our Perth to Brisbane 23:10 flight delayed till 00:40, gate changed TWICE! On boarding at 01:10 we were ejected due to downsized aircraft which we were told the lie "because it had no row 30!!". Ended up waiting 2 hrs at service desk long queue as a Sydney flight had been cancelled as well! Staff while polite had clearly been instructed to do everything possible in the interest of airline and not customers were unwilling and unhelpful. Our 4 day trip will now be only 3 (we won't meet up with all the people we needed to as a result) but we are still paying for 4 nights accommodation in Brisbane! It was a real struggle to get them to arrange a hotel which we were later told we had to check out from at 11:00 (we only got there at 03:00). Next flight is a full 24 hours later! Compensation, help and customer service is virtually absent and extremely poor! Update it’s now almost 24 hours later and we are waiting for our new flight which of course is delayed! It seems in Aus airlines are free from government regulation and so operate a rip off the customer policy and even have their own consortium to ensure that almost nobody will ever receive compensation!

Made us pay $75 for our hand luggage… Made us pay $75 for our hand luggage being 1kg over. Ridiculous service that was also 2 hours delayed. Don’t fly with them, not worth it

Got a text saying we were boarding so… Got a text saying we were boarding so lined up at Cairns. Got told to go and weigh bag so did. Then got told to go back to the end of the line for a weight sticker. Watched someone else do same but didn't get sent to back of line. Got into queue to board with lots of other passengers then told only certain seats were boarding first. Stayed in line & stood aside with some other people. Nobody said okay the rest can board, we just found out by watching others in our seat area get let through! Very unorganised, unprofessional and felt a bit discriminatory!

Cabin baggage failure I had the worst experience flying experience last year. I had paid for extra cabin baggage but was allowed to take just one bag. Ground staff were unhelpful. They almost made me miss my flight. Customer Service had no understanding of the issue when I logged an online complaint. They kept coming back to me with the same, irrelevant response.

Don’t fly with jetstar You I fly overseas almost once or twice a month. Therefore I have experience of flying with a lot of airlines. Jetstar is the worst. Every other one of their flights is delayed. In checking carry on bags they are terrible. They don’t allow even 1kg extra.
