Top airline flying from Cairns to Auckland
This was the most horrific experience we have ever had. I would advise people to steer clear of this airline at all costs.
This was the most horrific experience we have ever had. I would advise people to steer clear of this airline at all costs.
Online checkin was a nightmare. They kept popping me into Chinese language site which I can't understand.
The flight take-off was delayed which was fine but the staff seemed pretty over their jobs. The seats are very uncomfortable and the food was pretty average. Overall is was okay.
Note that food has to be purchased in flight. No free food. And no entertainment in flight. So I’ve treated these two items as okay which, in this case, means neutral/not applicable.
My Dad needed assistance to board the plane. The Jetstar staff were excellent with him and made the experience a lot easier😁
No food taken so can't rate also no entertainment so can't rate.
Would be better if can provide small free snacks on a long flight
Boarding was easy and unstressful, though the early "final call" was a bit off-putting. The crew were pleasant, and the seats were comfortable. The prices for food and drink were reasonable, apart from tea and coffee, where simple percolated coffee was charged at espresso prices. Deboarding was OK, though some Jetstar passengers appear to have a bad habit of pushing forward from their assigned rows, making it more difficult to get out for passengers that have paid a premium to sit up-front. Jetstar might want to look to address this to stop it from spreading.
I was allocated an exit row seat and was told to move so it could be given away to someone who had purchased two extra legroom seats and one regular seat but wanted the three to sit together. I was also charged for entertainment after booking but before checking in, and the ground crew couldn't do anything about refunding it. When the whole plane was given access to the entertainment as an apology for the flight being four hours late, I was told they couldn't do anything about that either, so I was charged for something I didn't want even though it would have been free anyway
I got to the airport earlier than I expected, and they let me change to an earlier flight with no trouble.
