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

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.

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

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!

Worse flight Worse flight, they harass cutomers, 7 kg hand bag couting with laptop, if over 200gm they charge extra massive $$, they weight just at gate of bording and charge you massive amount. they also target customers with skin colours and do racist bahavoir. Melbourn airport having worse staff, they dont speak u with reaperct. they treat customers like one object. on 12/4/24 flight 776 8:10 pm they charge most customerr for over weight of 200 to 500gm on 7kg. this is how they make money, beggar flight owner.if over 200 gm weight of your medical items stil they not allowed, they dont care throw in bin or pay money. at this flight one old lady staff did this, she is carring weight machine to do. never ever chose this flight. their staff r thinking they are kings and queens and rest of are alians. 0 start of 5, worse than ever. dont chose it. all r doing by owner instruction. Heee owner if u need money for ur food let us know happy to donate, but you need to be human, by doing those you will be going down, one day ur flight comany will be bankcurpt i am sure,
