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: Although the flight was delayed 20 minutes, the staff were efficient, polite and helpful with my elderly mum.
Pros: The seat was extraordinarily uncomfortable.
Cons: Seat spacing was the worst ever. Aisle very narrow.
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.
Cons: No frills airline. Everything costs extra
Pros: Crew is ok
Cons: Ticket is not cheap but even checkin is self service. Luggage fee is so high. No food and even no water on a three hour flight
Pros: It’s on time
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Our Monday evening flight was cancelled (midair so we wasted a night flying halfway there and back). 3 hours waiting to be told the next available flight is Friday evening. Told we would be refunded for accommodation costs up to $120 per night per person. 2 weeks later and yet to see that money. There is no inflight entertainment or food. Hand luggage is weighed at the airport and it is $50 if you are over 7kg
Cons: Very rude team. Never ever travel with tiger airlines again
Pros: Cabin crew pretty so-so. No food to buy, no tea or coffee. Just water.
Cons: Practically everything!
Pros: Great Business Class Lounge close to departure gate.
Cons: Connecting from a domestic flight with Virgin Australia to the International Terminal carrying 5 large pieces of luggage was a bit stressful and complicated. Train or Bus ? Lots of Lifts up and down. Boarding security was excessive.
Cons: Couldn't check in on mobile
Pros: Crew very friendly
Cons: Departure 50mins late, arrival 10mins late then wait 45mins for bags to arrive ... not good enough
Pros: Seats in economy were relatively comfortable. The ice cream was nice
Cons: Service was hit and miss - they would forget to bring things that had run out. Some iPads didn't work. Food was not that nice.
Cons: I booked emrits but i was boaded on quants
Pros: It got me to my destination on time. Web check in for this leg of my flight made things quick. Didn't have checked luggage so that was ok.
Cons: Jetstar is not a quality airline. Customer service is lacklustre. Cramped space. Plane seemed dirty and the air during takeoff and landed really smelled bad. Food and drinks way overpriced and not good.
Cons: The queue at the Queenstown airport was an hour long to be processed. Many more people were behind us and an agent at the counter left with many standing in the queue behind. Too long of s wait!
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: 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

Cons: No TVs very basic.
Cons: No frills airline. Everything costs extra
Cons: Yet another holding pattern over Melbourne which seems to always happen with jet star

Cons: Very rude team. Never ever travel with tiger airlines again
Cons: You guys didn't make it clear I didn't have luggage on the way to Brisbane it was included on the way back it wasn't ? So was hit with a unexpected fee for luggage
Cons: I was told (via two notification emails) that the flight was delayed by 5 hours. Went to the airport, and then they told me the flight had gone on time. They also told me my fare had been “forfeited”. Last time I book with this airline.
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: Previous review is for Sydney to yulara. Flight from Christchurch to Sydney was very smooth and no problems at all
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
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.
Pros: Very efficient boarding
Cons: Not made for talk people
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: Flight time rescheduled meaning we had very little time for connecting flight. Then they checked our luggage in (weighed 8.5kg and only 7 allowed (charged $108). The booking in of the bags meant one of our party missed connecting flight. She arrived at gate while plane was still there and Capt said he would wait but ground staff over-ruled decision. Not happy.

Pros: all ok.
Cons: nothing
Pros: Relatively quiet airport lounge, easy boarding and decent flight
Cons: It needs a free drinks provision- soft drinks only
Pros: The window seats are good for sleeping.
Cons: No major issues on this flight.
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.
Cons: Yet another holding pattern over Melbourne which seems to always happen with jet star
Cons: No frills airline. Everything costs extra
Cons: Hardly any ice When the people in front reclined their seats I couldn’t hardly move Late as udual
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
Cons: Crew in the air were fine, crew at check in was very unfriendly and tried to say I was over with baggage - 2 bags at 10kg for 2 people - I dont think so.......7kg each

Cons: Practically everything!
Pros: Basic flight. Got me from A to B.

Pros: Everything went smoothly as on earlier experiences. Friendly and helpful staff at airport.
Cons: The departure gate was not displayed on the electronic board at the airport until an announcement that boarding was 'commencing' which caused some unnecessary anxiety.
Pros: Helpful checkin staff and air stewards. Ran on time and would pick Tiger over Jetstar.
Cons: The flight left late. It just made it to landing in Sydney before an electrical storm shut down the airport. If the flight had left on Tim e it would have made it to Sydney before the shut down. We spent 3 hours in the plane on the Sydney tarmac.
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.

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.
