Find Cheap Flights from North America to Melbourne & other airports

The 787 Dreamliner was comfortable and the window tinting technology is super cool.

The bag fee is expensive. You have to pay for everything. Any type of food or drink. You even have to pay for the entertainment. It’s a budget airline. You get what you pay for.

Seat had a loose support for the entertainment system so one of our party was unable to watch entertainment.

I honestly can't think of a single thing I liked about this flight, but if pressed, perhaps I enjoyed the staff in Honolulu during check in. The rest was horrible. Hated it all.

Absolutely horrible. This airline is truly the Greyhound of the sky. There was an absurd amount of families on this flight with really young screaming, ill-behaved children and their indifferent parents. The flight attendants were equally indifferent and unhelpful. You get absolutely nothing for free - everything cost - food, blankets, pillows, etc. on this 10 hour flight. AND when water was requested, it was a small, mouthwash size cup with a note, that "we charge for water." $4. Wow. Probably one of the worst experiences in the air ever. I won't be back. The price was stellar, but after paying for seats, luggage and enduring the people on the flight, I'd prefer to pay more and get A LOT MORE from an airline like Virgin Australia. If you're cutting corners and trying to save money, save yourself and your sanity and spend a little more on quality airline.

Exit row seats made for a much more comfortable flight. Did not pay for food or entertainment. Everything else went very well.

Nothing

Check in and boarding was very efficient and timely

Poor costumer service

I miss the fly from New York to China and after I was not aloud to you my ticket what was round trip to go back to New York and I was not given back even 1$ back fro that ticket

They canceled my flight without an email confirmation. I went to the airport to find out it was canceled then to get an email now asking how my flight was when I couldn’t go. It was a pan just to even call about getting seats prior to and they had a hard time finding my itinerary. They even took 210 for th cancelation. Had to book with another airline for following day

On time flights

All was good

Excellent seat comfort & entertainment options. Food was average.

No vegetarian meal options

I was seated in business class - the attendant gave my special order food to another guest and gave me something else instead. I could have gotten very ill from this, and notified the flight attendant who shrugged it off and walked off.

The flight was cancelled and my itinerary was re-booked and going thru Melbourne to Perth. I lost half day of my life wasted in the Airport. The worst part of this change was flying on an old 737 thru Melbourne without the entertainment access for this long flight.

everything was lovely

the outdated on flight entertainment system

Staff and seating

Paying for movies on a long trip really stingy ☹

Movie selection is good and food is pretty good.

Very tight in economy. I’m 5’ & normal weight and felt cramped so if you’re any taller...you’ll hate it.

Please read notes above -

Constant threats about weight of carryons & then didn’t check or weigh anything

Efficient boarding. Gate 31 almost at the end of airport. We will use trolley next time. The very long walk was uncomfortable Staff friendly Meal just OK, but service by staff pretty good. Their "Business Class" is glorified coach. Aircraft is excellent. We enjoyed the flight

We were worried as to weight allowance even though we were flying business. We got in just under 30kg . Similarly, we had difficulty getting carry on to 7 kg. Seats are OK but still difficult to sleep, even in business. No other alternative direct to Melbourne from Honolulu,.

Jetstar offers cheap flights and if you check in early enough, you can often get your preferred seat. Great option for small people (height wise!) who want to travel light.

There’s always a risk involved when booking with jetstar. I’ve gotten lucky so far with no cancellations and some very kind flight attendants, but you really never know. There is no standard of service. You need to know that EVERYTHING costs extra so traveling light is of the utmost importance.

Quick flight and great food

Missed my flight due to lost luggage

The flight was fantastic boarding crew were great and the onboard crew were very nice. I enjoyed the onboard wifi and the meal.

I didn't like that my gate and terminal numbers were changed so many times. It messed up the meeting of family. Also I really hate that there is not much leg room.

Small seats

Exit row seats made for a much more comfortable flight. Did not pay for food or entertainment. Everything else went very well.

Roomy seats, modern entertainment tech although movie choices limited

Honestly the weight limits for carryon is extraordinarily stressful and they Charge for then checking it if even 1 kg over! Would not fly again with them for this reason. Qantas has the customer first philosophy in motion! By the time you pay luggage fees, seat & meal fees, overweight carryon luggage fees, Qantas a better deal a less hassle.

The disabled services and that the inflight crew pay attention. They're genuinely courteous and kind.

Food and the seating upholstery (but that's to be expected in economy class)

Nothing really

Food needs to be improved, really not that great , the ice cream in biz class wasn’t even hagaan Daz , some cheap chinese brand , the entertainment was so so the seats weren’t even comfortable for biz class, when parking at the terminal they did not open the door in 1st class so it was tough to get out

Quick

Std 14ish hr flight. Watched movies and slept.

Flight's too long, can they fly faster?...HA!

It is a short trip from Atlanta to Augusta.

No complaints...too short of a trip to complain about anything!

The food was good Flight was on time plane was clean loved the crew! Flew out with them, and returned with them... so that was nice!

Not knowing we were being bused to plane from Terminal Boarded early because of it, created a bit of chaos and panic My tv was broken- worked intermittently need connector for iphone ear buds - should have universal ports

Love the 757 entertainment system

snack mix is not great delayed takeoff

Perfectly fine first class trip

Breakfast meal was awful

The Chinese people were wonderful! But I was required to pass thru security checks 3 times arriving. 3 times transiting and 3 times leaving. At customs, transit and departure. No common sense to their process only"letter of the law". For example I was taking beef jerky to my friends in Thailand but the Chinese security has a meat sniffing dog and they confiscated it as well as the girl in front of me More than $100 worth of jerky. They should have given it back at departure gate. I had to buy more in their duty free shop. Also they cancelled my flight without advising me but did get me on Thai airways later that day. Too much hassle to Transit China

Security

I liked playing tetris and pacman with a controller that was like that of a console. My flight had a lot of empty seats, and I noticed they staggered the seating so that there was nobody in front of me or behind me. Flight crew was genuinely nice and helpful even though we didn't speak the same language. The little cup holder was actually pretty cool. There even seemed to be ample leg room compared to other Chinese international flights I've been on. I've flown previously with china southern and China eastern, so that is my basis for comparison.

They didn't give me boarding passes for both flights (had a long layover in china). Other airlines printed both at the start of trip. This added quite a bit of confusion for me, seemingly unnecessarily. Also, I'm a bit disappointed in their free hotel room deal for long layovers. When I had a long layover previously with either china southern or china easter (can't remember which one), I got my own free hotel room, a free meal, and a free ride to and from the hotel. That was a real perk for my 12 hour layover. The deal with xiaman is you get a free hotel room, but you have to share it with a stranger of the same gender, and you have to pay for taxi to and from the hotel. Although you do supposedly get a free meal, I chose not to take them up on the hotel offer. Instead I took them up on their transfers lounge. This is a dark, quiet room full of dingy, dirty padded chairs and people sprawled out and snoring. I would have stayed more than 15 minutes if there were more phone charging plugs, but instead I went and ate mcdonalds and found a plug in at the kfc. Aside from all that, I would suggest getting some better Hollywood movies to choose from, as xiamen's competition has them beat there as well, in my opinion.

Nothing

Late

The flight left before we get there. I had to book a train ticket to my final destination because I have to be in Fuzhou that day. I was told by the airline that I would be reimbursed the air fare from Xiamen to Fuzhou.

Great food selection for vegans and vegetarians Friendly crew

Subpar leg room even for economy

Seats are crumpy every small item must be paid separately, crew is clueless, If I can avoid it I will never fly Jetstar again

The seats are very small and the food was horrible. The flight attendants were rude, they actually rolled their eyes on you when you asked for water

When I went to check in they disnt even want to help and were very rude

La puntualidad en los vuelos.

Servicio al cliente un poco deficiente en shangai nos trataron súper mal.

Flight crew is great

Didn’t like the the whole check in process. None of the system worked. Manual check in all the way and took so long. Not enough staff to service.

Crew were really good. Had lactose allergy but no meals available for me onboard. Couldn't get to a resolution as we were unsure on ingredients but crew did everything they could. Were very friendly about whole thing

Delay but stuff happens eh.

Healthy airline food option, friendly helpful service, use of name and I'm on the bottom rung of ff status??

The boarding was on time. The crews were great. Food were good.

I reserved for a window seat but I still end up in the aisle.

Very comfortable seat in the exit row and entertainment to choose from offered a wide variety of current and older movies, I was very impressed and will for sure book through China Eastern for my next flight to Hong Kong next month

Breakfast was a bit bland but nothing bad

The seats are very small and the food was horrible. The flight attendants were rude, they actually rolled their eyes on you when you asked for water

The flight is not too busy

I have to checked my all suitcase out and re-check in again even thought I am transfer. This is horrible!! Nobody informed me, I have to go back to customs and get my suitcase.

Nothing much better but just slightly better than the long haul flight

Had to take a shuttle to the plane from the gate and walk up the stairs in the rain

nice plane

The pilot was an idiot and did not inform the airport of our arrival. We had to sit on the tarmac for 30 minutes in 35 degree heat waiting to get off the plane.

Through the course of the kayak purchase process, there was never the option to pay for checked bags. With Jetstar, this means paying double later. Better to book through Jetstar direct once you have the flight details.

The entire experience is well thought out

i was a little disappointed in seating .... felt like a Sardine ... unlike my flight from Brisbane to Auckland on my way to LA... which surprised me,
