Pros: Excellent. I arrived early and Jetstar accomodated me with getting an earlier flight.
Pros: Seats were comfortable and the plane was nice.
Cons: I bought a bottle of water to take on the plane and had to get rid of it as there was a baggage check for liquids after security and before boarding. Every thing on board cost, even a can of pop but we were not allowed to bring any drinks. Seems like a way of gouging customers. Also no free entertainment option.
Pros: The seats are big
Cons: You have to pay for food and drinks- nothing for free Boarding was chaos- no organization- just everyone pushing their way on. Worried about security as no one at any point checked my ID or passport Line up for baggage drop off took half an hour- they need more staff working
Pros: The seat was extraordinarily uncomfortable.
Cons: Seat spacing was the worst ever. Aisle very narrow.
Pros: The crew were amazing and the seats were super comfy. The Captain was very smooth on take off and touch down, he was also very informative during the flight.
Cons: Worst airline I have ever flown
Pros: Efficient boarding
Cons: The flight was nearly 40 mins late
Cons: Lots of extra fees
Pros: Cheaper flight option
Cons: Multiple delays; I moved to a new seat to accommodate an exit row request with with no benefit; no snacks or entertainment
Pros: Excellent. I arrived early and Jetstar accomodated me with getting an earlier flight.
Pros: Comfortable seats, enough leg room, great staff
Cons: Rude loud family 3 rows back, kids noisy all night, parents talking above them
Pros: Quick easy painless and on time
Pros: Plenty of empty seats on the plane
Cons: Seats were very tight
Cons: The air pressure in the plane not good causing significant pain I’m my ears
Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: N/A
Cons: We were shocked to be charged $275 for two checked bags. At the point that you are checking in you are trapped and don't have a choice but to pay it. We were told that if we had paid in advance it would be cheaper, but we didn't know what the weight of our bags would be so I just figured I'd pay at the airport. They didn't say that they charge so much more at the airport - which is a total rip off. We were also harassed by not having the email that showed we purchased an Australian Visa which is digitally tied to our passport. If they need to verify our Visa, then they should have the electronic means to verify it. Also, we were traveling from Sydney to Auckland so since we were leaving the country I'm not sure why they had to see our Australian Visa in the first place. We were already in the country!
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: They do not tell you about cheaper online baggage check in and then charge 10 times at the gate. We had to pay $605 for 3 checked in suitcases!
Pros: Good ticket price.
Cons: They charge $60 per checked bag at check-in, and weight limits on carry-on luggage are unreasonably low.
Pros: Comfortable seats
Cons: Poor communication of crew memebers when dropping off bags, not consistent with charges of luggage, not helpful in alternative solutions, would allow some passengers with same size/weight of luggage through with no charge, versus charging ridiculous prices for others
Pros: The full refund.
Cons: Jetstar cancelled my New Years Day flight on the evening of New Years Eve “due to crewing requirements.” It was a blessing-in-disguise because it forced me to fly Virgin for the first time. Not only was my last-minute Virgin ticket cheaper than Jetstar, I didn’t have to pay the ridiculous extra baggage fees Jetstar charges, and a meal with alcohol was included in my flight. Virgin all the way!
Pros: unexpectedly about an hour into the flight an announcement came over the loudspeaker. It was something like this : Attention Attention please pull on your oxygen mask when it drops and place it firmly over your mouth and breathe calmly. I was shocked and everyone that I could see looked shocked. Then nothing. It was the announcement that you never want to hear when on an aeroplane. About 5-10 minutes later another announcement that it was an error and a wrong button had been pushed. It certainly was the wrong button to push.
Pros: it was only a short flight
Pros: Although the flight was delayed 20 minutes, the staff were efficient, polite and helpful with my elderly mum.
Pros: The very nice baggage chief who trumped the witch
Cons: terrible gate attendant a real snotty witch
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: They do not tell you about cheaper online baggage check in and then charge 10 times at the gate. We had to pay $605 for 3 checked in suitcases!
Pros: That l got sms messages regarding my flight details and where to collect my luggage!! Awesome
Pros: The seats are big
Cons: You have to pay for food and drinks- nothing for free Boarding was chaos- no organization- just everyone pushing their way on. Worried about security as no one at any point checked my ID or passport Line up for baggage drop off took half an hour- they need more staff working
Cons: Late
Pros: it was only a short flight
Pros: it was only a short flight
Pros: New plane.
Cons: Really small plane. They placed my 6’8 husband in a regular row, when there were 2 bulk head and 1 exit row seat available. The “meal” = 3 half sandwiches - mayo & tuna (smelled through the cellophane wrapper) and a bottle of water. No entertainment. LOST MY LUGGAGE! Yuck. Avoid Jet Star.
Cons: No frills airline. Everything costs extra
Pros: The very nice baggage chief who trumped the witch
Cons: terrible gate attendant a real snotty witch
Pros: That l got sms messages regarding my flight details and where to collect my luggage!! Awesome
Cons: Hardly any ice When the people in front reclined their seats I couldn’t hardly move Late as udual
Cons: We had to pay double to check our bags at airport because we did not pre check them online. Ridiculous
Pros: The crew were amazing and the seats were super comfy. The Captain was very smooth on take off and touch down, he was also very informative during the flight.
Pros: it was only a short flight
Pros: Only good point was we were able to book thru KAYAK for a reasonable price.
Cons: flight was delayed which appears the norm with Jetstar.!!! Ridiculous walking distance to get to and from at Melbourne end!!!! Pity the elderly and infirm!!! You get nothing for your money EVERYTHING is EXTRA cost and expensive. From baggage to basic snacks, if you are silly enough to buy. Not even a radio outlet. Seats are hard and uncomfortable, but the "icing on the cake", is the removal of the pockets behind the seats to make the leg room look more, so you now have nowhere to put a water bottle or a drink down. JETSTAR/QANTAS should be very (proud) ashamed of themselves. By the way has anyone noticed the prospective destruction of the iconic Kangaroo symbol on QANTAS planes known all over the world as AUSTRALIAN, that the Irish CEO of Qantas is happily removing at enormous cost, over the next months to be replaced by an indescribable symbol, that is so similar to CHINA AIRLINES, it is not funny. Takeover in the wind?No wonder QANTAS is so expensive and its cheaper arm JETSTAR are cut to the bone. Staff can only do so much.

Cons: Flight delayed by almost an hour.

Cons: Jetstart didn't serve us a glass of water on flight and the crewes were not kind. They charged $60 for a carry-on-bag. I think the fare is very expensive.
Pros: After we finally got checked in after standing in line (1.5hrs), due to the previous night's storms (& finally had to argue with staff, after they had already announced final check in)- everything else went off without a hitch. The flight operated- a plus when compared to my two previous JetStar bookings.
Cons: I organization of staff who had told us at "we would be fine" in the line we were in- only to be hurried to the "final check in desk" and have the staff there tell us to get back in line.
Cons: Worst airline I have ever flown
Cons: Had to sprint it to get to our connecting flight. The crew was not helpful at all and had the gall to charge an outrageous bag fee.
Cons: Flight delayed over an hour then kept waiting another half hour on runway. Couldn't land straight away in Denpasar and had to circle for another 15mins
Pros: Although the flight was delayed 20 minutes, the staff were efficient, polite and helpful with my elderly mum.
Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: N/A
Pros: We eventually got to our destination.
Cons: Flight was 4 hours late. We had even received notices by email the flight would depart on time, just 30 minutes before. Not once did any staff or flight crew apologize for the delay. Also they had to reshuffle passengers because the weight was off.

Cons: Arbitrary singling out of passengers for baggage weight violations when majority of carry-on bags weren't to regulation for most passengers. Exorbitant fees for checking bags at gate.
Cons: We were unable to book our luggage on your website. When we got to Launceston, they not only charged us $100 but told us the limit was 15 kg each because it was the same day. We had tried to book our luggage when we bought the tickets, but were unable to. Then we had to buy a bag to carry the baggage we had to remove from our luggage.
Cons: We were delayed for 2 hours and 20 minutes flew into a storm, circulated in circles in the air for 30 mins, landed and had to wait for 3 HOURS inside the play due to lightning. If we left on time this would not have happened. Wort 12 hours of my life ever spent in an airport/plane. WILL NEVER FLY JETSTAR EVER AGAIN!!!
Cons: We had a row of drunk boys directly behind us. They drank non-stop, were extremely noisy and obnoxious - standing in the aisles, shaking seats, and yelling/singing non-stop. Worst flight I have been on this year as the crew did nothing to address this issue despite numerous complaints. P
Cons: The entertainment screen stopped working twice and I had to ask the crew to fix it for me twice. They were helpful and fixed it, but it was a bit of a hassle.
Pros: We eventually got to our destination.

Here's why:
We’re not the seller.
At KAYAK we don’t set the prices, so it’s not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren’t prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
