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.

Happy we didn't crash Our flight was more than 2:30 hours late, the gate changed twice (without any announcements in English, the staff was extremely rude with zero communication, I don't understand how flight attendants can be allowed to fly without being able to speak English when many travellers don't speak Japanese, it's dangerous). With all the delay and last minute chaotic boarding, the flight arrived at 23:50 at Osaka, of course there was no public transportation left so we had to take the taxi to reach our hotel, which is extremely expensive. And of course, the staff refused to give any passenger any compensation. How is this airline allowed to fly? I'm honestly wondering how the plane didn't crash.

Jetstar Holidays is a scam Booked a Jetstar holiday package from Perth to Bali - our flight was cancelled due to technical issues (they’re fault) and they did nothing to recoup the costs or extend our trip to the package I originally booked. I spoke several times with different people at Jetstar holidays who basically had nothing to offer other than “we will try” to negotiate a refund for the first night from the hotel….uh ok, completely avoiding any questions about they’re policy in relation to flight cancellations for hotel/flight packages. When I did finally check in at the hotel I noticed the booking agent for our package was actually Expedia - so Jetstar has just sold the licence for these other travel groups to operate under their name. I don’t think I have actually spoken to one person from Jetstar in this whole week, including the staff at the Perth airport who said they worked for a third party called McKenzie’s and weren’t able to help me with any additional information or support. No one has called me back or emailed me to follow up on my calls or has provided an option that means I will actually get what I paid for. Do not book with them, absolute rip off company hiding behind third party providers so you have to spend hours trying to figure out what might be possible and they just don’t give a crap. Also, just had an update that our flight home has been cancelled….seriously.

Bunch of sharks Business trip to Wellington from Christchurch, flew AIR NZ up to wellington which was fantastic. Went to leave wellington and yes the bag limit is 7kgs but my bag was 9kg and got pinged with a $75 excess baggage fee. Bunh of sharks, do not fly Jetstar. Air NZ is not that much more and the experience is 100% better. They will be weighing the passengers next!! Never again jetstar

Praise for Jetstar Once again i had the most amazing flight JQ117 departing 8.55am Denpasar to Perth on 22 April 2024.The captain and first officer introduced themselves and Mark and his cabin crew were all amazing Mark when speaking to any passenger addressed us by our christian name he had a wonderful memory and absolutely nothing was any trouble I travel with oxygen and need a wheelchair and the crew made sure i was ok and ensured a wheelchair was available Having always flown Garuda i was very hesitant about flying with Jetstar i had read so many bad reviews but the 5 times (plus return) trips i have now done with them i have nothing but the highest praise and even if Garuda started flying from Perth again i wouldnt use them Jetstar have won me over
