Pros: We arrived to the airport 2.5 hours early which was too soon to check in. Instead of making us wait, the Jetstar attendant offered us an earlier flight. Very accommodating and thoughtful! Thanks so much Jetstar!
Cons: N/A
Pros: The seat was extraordinarily uncomfortable.
Cons: Seat spacing was the worst ever. Aisle very narrow.
Pros: Good price, nice flight.
Cons: Waited a very long time to get off the plane & be shuttled to the terminal - 20-30 minutes. Flight attendants shouldn't have to go all the way up front or to the back to bring me a cup of tap water. They could have a pitcher or bottle handy for those not purchasing drinks or food.
Pros: Seating was tight. Very thin seats.. Little padding
Cons: Their online baggage fees could not be purchased with either my Mastercard or Visa. Had to resort to Paypal for baggage payment. Flight was also over an hour late departing from Cairns. Crew said that was due to an ;onboard medical emergency' on the inbound flight.
Cons: For some reason my bags were not checked all the way to the final destination, which caused problems later
Pros: Although the flight was delayed 20 minutes, the staff were efficient, polite and helpful with my elderly mum.
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: Excellent. I arrived early and Jetstar accomodated me with getting an earlier flight.
Pros: Domestic flight, no entertainment on board staff just, can't even get a glass of water,
Cons: Since more chairs have been added there is no leg room! My husband had difficulty getting in and out. We will not be flying jet star for longer flights
Cons: We had to pay double to check our bags at airport because we did not pre check them online. Ridiculous
Pros: Although the flight was delayed 20 minutes, the staff were efficient, polite and helpful with my elderly mum.
Pros: Very nice
Cons: Nothing
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.
Pros: Efficient on time
Cons: One young cabin crew member was very polite and welcoming - ? Angela The other older woman would not even acknowledge me or say hello / goodbye despite me saying hello
Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: N/A
Pros: Base price for flight was insanely cheap, booked six months in advance.
Cons: Drastically different bag weight requirements than my connecting flight meant I had to shuffle everything around to meet the carry-on limits, then pay $100+ as my check bag went up two levels. Even anticipating this, it still cost double what I was expecting; must have been the difference between advance payment and day-of rates, but the degree of difference in cost left me feeling swindled.
Pros: That l got sms messages regarding my flight details and where to collect my luggage!! Awesome
Cons: Yet another holding pattern over Melbourne which seems to always happen with jet star
Cons: Flight delayed by almost an hour.
Cons: City of Yulara had a city wide communications failure. Other airlines had backup plans to get passengers out with a manual procedure. Jetstar didn't have a manual process and failed to get us on the plane. I missed my connection and they didn't help with my lost ticket. I ended up buying a new international ticket.
Pros: Good price, nice flight.
Cons: Waited a very long time to get off the plane & be shuttled to the terminal - 20-30 minutes. Flight attendants shouldn't have to go all the way up front or to the back to bring me a cup of tap water. They could have a pitcher or bottle handy for those not purchasing drinks or food.
Cons: I learned that JetStar was the cheapest option for a reason. Check-in at Narita was a nightmare. Without any luggage to check it was over 1.5 hour wait just to check in.
Cons: My luggage didn't make it to Wellington, which was disappointing since they now want to charge to have it sent from Auckland.
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: Cheap.
Cons: No free checked bags. No free drinks - not even water. Limited weight for carryon bags. Choosing a seat costs extra money.
Pros: We enjoyed our low cost flight with Jetstar. Check in was quick and easy. Boarding was also. We didn't purchase any food or entertainment which is why I gave each of those categories 1 star (there's no N/A or doesn't apply-type option).
Cons: Seats on Jetstar are a bit uncomfortable but for a short flight, it doesn't matter as much. Also, the luggage went to the wrong carousel for many folks on our flight.
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: Friendly staff
Cons: N/A
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: 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: Previous review is for Sydney to yulara. Flight from Christchurch to Sydney was very smooth and no problems at all
Pros: Quick boarding, friendly staff
Cons: No TVs very basic.
Pros: Good ticket price.
Cons: They charge $60 per checked bag at check-in, and weight limits on carry-on luggage are unreasonably low.
Cons: City of Yulara had a city wide communications failure. Other airlines had backup plans to get passengers out with a manual procedure. Jetstar didn't have a manual process and failed to get us on the plane. I missed my connection and they didn't help with my lost ticket. I ended up buying a new international ticket.
Pros: Price..on time and a smooth flight.
Cons: Yet another holding pattern over Melbourne which seems to always happen with jet star
Cons: Lots of extra fees
Pros: Very efficient boarding
Cons: Not made for talk people
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’s okay
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: Although the flight was delayed 20 minutes, the staff were efficient, polite and helpful with my elderly mum.
Pros: We arrived to the airport 2.5 hours early which was too soon to check in. Instead of making us wait, the Jetstar attendant offered us an earlier flight. Very accommodating and thoughtful! Thanks so much Jetstar!
Cons: N/A
Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: N/A
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.

Pros: Noodles were hot and coffee served in decent time. Crew engaged with courtesy to all.
Cons: Boarding was later than they kept stating at the gate but still arrived at destination on time.
Cons: Lots of extra fees
Cons: Late
Pros: The seat was extraordinarily uncomfortable.
Cons: Seat spacing was the worst ever. Aisle very narrow.
Cons: Worst airline I have ever flown
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: That l got sms messages regarding my flight details and where to collect my luggage!! Awesome
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!

Cons: Multiple delays; I moved to a new seat to accommodate an exit row request with with no benefit; no snacks or entertainment
Cons: Flight delayed by almost an hour.
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.

Cons: N/A
Pros: Excellent. I arrived early and Jetstar accomodated me with getting an earlier flight.
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: Yet another holding pattern over Melbourne which seems to always happen with jet star
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: Baggage fees. Website. I tried for days to prebook bags. It kept coming g back with msg. Session expired. Go back. I did this several times finally gave up. Cost me $100 at airport. I had flown Virgin three days before and had baggage included. Wil fly them or Quantas next time.

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.

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.
