Find Cheap Flights from North America to Melbourne & other airports

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

Cons: Nothing

Pros: 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.

Cons: 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.

Pros: Personal tvs on each seat.

Cons: My extendable handle was broken during the flight/luggage handling and my side handles on my luggage were also ripped off. This made it impossible for me to go from Point A to Point B with no way of moving my suitcase.

Pros: nice plane

Cons: 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.

Cons: The most uncomfortable chair I have even sat in, I arrived home 5 days ago and my back still hurts.

Pros: The food choices were lovely, plenty of bathrooms and touch screen entertainment (albeit with an outdated feeling and clunky interface.) The skycam was the best part of the entertainment interface options, giving you an outside view of the plane at all times from a camera at the top of the plane tail. Watching the plane during its descent and landing was very cool.

Cons: I’ve flown in tight-spaced economy seats before, but the lack of space to even bend over to reach items on the floor was extreme on this plane and unacceptable for a 15+ hour flight. It truly felt like a straightjacket. Serious acrobatics were required to reach items on the floor. The tray table would also fly down on its own, the lever holding it would slide free while I was sleeping. There was no wifi at all, not even for using the qantas apps. My fiancé flew on Virgin the week before and was able to purchase wifi and stay in touch with me for $19 for the duration of the flight. Even my flight earlier this year with Qantas on the Dreamliner lacked usable wifi, but the experience of the Dreamliner plane itself was wonderful. In addition, the usb ports on the end of the armrests weren’t working. I feel it should be part of the safety briefing to point out where the usable power points are, given how vital charged phones are these days for boarding passes, reaching loved ones and entertainment when the wifi isn’t working. I didn’t realize there was a plug for laptops/ block plugs until I asked about the USB ports not working until the last 2 hours of the flight. The location of that was somewhere few would notice or look if not explicitly told. This will be the last time I ever book with Qantas when an a380 model is involved, unless great overhauls and updates are completed. Economy should not lack basic ergonomic comforts and while I’ve spent years touting my love for Qantas, having had wonderful experiences in the past, this one fell far below what I had come to expect from the Qantas name.

Pros: Pillows were comfy, seats reclined to a comfy position

Pros: Sleeping seats were very roomy and staff were wonderful

Cons: Value flight so no luxuries. Wifi doesn't work, USB port was broken... Got us where we were going for a great price though.

Pros: Flight attendants are excellent, polite, warm and professional.

Pros: Food

Cons: No entrance forms for foreigners to fill before landing. Shocking to learn that A black guy found "dead" in the middle of the flight, probably due to heart attack China Eastern web site is horrible as it only allows passengers who bought their tickets DIRECTLY from their web site to access booking managing like seat choice and printing boarding pass. If you bought tickets from travel agents like Justfly.com, forget to use China Eastern web site to manage your booking, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE

Pros: Pinot noir

Cons: No temp control, a little stuffy

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The staff were friendly

Cons: Some policies were not made clear before I arrived to check in. No skateboards as a carry-on. I’ve never had a problem before until Jetstar. Also they overcharged me by $50 to process my visa application before I was allowed to check in. The visa cost $20, Jetstar charged me $70 and would not allow me to apply for the visa on my own at the time of check-in.

Pros: nice plane

Cons: 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.

Pros: My seatmate and I commented at the same time, "where's the extra leg room we paid more for?" We we as comfortable as one can be on an 11 hour flight with 350 of our new best friends, but I didn't really see much difference between our seats and those of the regular priced seats.

Cons: 15 hour flight and the crew walked up and down the isle every 3-4 minutes shining a flashlight in your face and over all the seats. I asked if this would continue all night and they said yes as it’s how they check on drunk passengers etc and that it was part of the aircraft safety. Was very intrusive and impossible to sleep.
