Find Cheap Flights from Hamilton Island to Sydney Kingsford Smith (HTI - SYD)

Cons: This is a review of a different flight I took as titled. I tried to write with a previous link but it did not work. During the flight, I went to the washroom and as I was there, the seatbelt light went on. As I was trying to hurry up to finish, the flight attendant started banging on the door telling me I needed to get back to my seat. I replied I was coming (twice) but she kept banging on the door and yelling that I needed to go back now. This happened about 4 times in 30 seconds. I was moving as quickly as I could. She then proceeded to unlock the door - which I then immediately re-locked. And I replied with that I was moving as quick as I could. She then unlocked it again and opened the door about two inches (while I was still on the toilet) and told me I needed to get to my seat. I said yes I’m coming and pulled the door back. There was some turbulence which is why the seatbelt light was lit - however I have never been on an airline that was so abrasive and aggressive like that. I have never been interrupted on the toilet like that when the seatbelt light has gone on. There is a reason the light is also in the washrooms so that customers know the pilots request. I am still so stunned with that response. After the flight had landed, I asked another flight attendant on the same flight about the airline policies in that situation. She said she was surprised that another flight attendant had opened the door on me and I should talk to the manager on flight. When I went to speak to the manager in hopes of her correcting the behaviour of a flight attendant that may not be using best practices, I was informed it it was actually her (Crystal) that had been trying to get me to go to my seat. She was immediately defensive and stood strong in her belief that she needed me to know that I needed to get to my seat right away and she could not hear my response. She said it was a safety concern and wanted to make sure I wasn’t unconscious in the washroom. I pointed out she would have known I was conscious because I had relocked the door after she unlocked it . She came up with another possibility “maybe you were Asian and couldn’t understand English”. I started the conversation calmly and felt she was very defensive from the start. She did verbally apologize, however it was forced, insincere and followed by why she was “in the right”. I don’t know if the above is inline with Jetstars policies however it’s opposite everything I have experienced on any other airline. I told Crystal she made me feel humiliated and that the experience was mortifying and she dismissed that and said it was a safety concern. I hope that this isn’t a jet star policy and that staff can be told how to deal with a situation such as the above. If it is in line with what Jetstar wants their staff to do I will definitely never be flying Jetstar again and advising my friends and family to do the same.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Return journey of our flight was moved so disrupted our onward flights. Getting in touch with customer services was impossible. Only way is to 'live chat' then they tell you their hands are tied and to speak to the 'refunds team' who don't have a number and will 'be in touch with you'. They won't be. Then outbound flight was cancelled at the last minute. Waiting for a refund........and waiting. If it's a choice between jet star or swimming to your next destination, swim.

Cons: Was stranded for an additional day in airlie beach. Hotel accommodations were poor.

Pros: Aecobd delayed flight in a row. Was on ground 1.5 hours nefore takeoff .

Cons: flight cancelled

Pros: The flight was smooth and we arrived safely and timely.

Cons: The inflight entertainment was broken.

Pros: Efficient flight

Cons: Surly check in staff.

Pros: They went out of their way to be proactive and helpful with my name was wrong on my ticket. With another airline I may have missed my flight, but due to the employees help I was able to fly no problem. Thanks!

Pros: Food and comfort of the seat

Cons: The USB charger, the whole entertainment, anything on the remote including light control and bell, stopped working! I wasn't given enough attention, i had to chase the crew a few times, it was a 14 hour flight with nothing working, miserable experience. I was offered a window seat, which i hate, without considering to give me an upgrade. I was given 5,000 Qantas points, i don't know if they can be moved to my AVIOS.

Cons: Boarding is very haphazard, not according to seat numbers, no pre boarding for small babies. Flight attendant spilled juice on me, very unprofessional.

Pros: On-time, Food, Comfort

Cons: Special Assistance not provided inspite of it being booked with ticket.

Pros: In-flight entertainment system (on-demand), on-time arrival.

Cons: Staff at check-in incorrectly stated that we'd have to claim and re-check our bags in Sydney (for onward journey to Auckland on another Qantas flight). Created confusion for us since we've never had that situation when connecting from a domestic to an international flight in 20+ years of traveling.

Cons: Was stranded for an additional day in airlie beach. Hotel accommodations were poor.

Pros: The plane was not full plenty of room to move to a better seat with a window.

Cons: No entertainment so was a bit boring plus why pay for seats when they move you to a different anyway.

Pros: 3 Hour delay. Terrible. Many people missed connecting flights.

Pros: Boarding was quick.

Cons: Food, especially for vegetarian is not good. All meals come with a bag with hard bread and apple! No Salad or decent desert with meal... AVML food is horrible, tried VML and that too was bad!
