      Bonza failed to make payments on their leased aircraft, hence the repossession. There is no chance of this happening to Jetstar or Qantas as the tax payer will always bail them out (plus they own many of their aircraft).

        You seem to forget what AirNZ did to Ansett….

          Ansett was never offered the same protection or status as Qantas, hence the NZ sell off. AirNZ did what they had to do to survive themselves (not that I would ever fly with them). The market is also deregulated now, hence things are alittle different.
          RIP Ansett

          well they're public (as in a public company on the ASX) and funded by the taxpayer.

            Are referring to the COVID payments?

            What taxpayer funds are they receiving now ?

            • M00Cow on 30/04/2024 - 16:29

              @jv: well ~1/4 of the $2.7b was jobkeeper bailout (effectively Govt sponsored redundancy, not jobkeeper) The rest was a bailout. whilst they get more tax deductions then tax paid.

              Go visit the Canberra Qantas pub, plenty of Govt subsidies there.

              and blocking the increased capacity of competitors is effectively a govt subsidy.

              • jv on 30/04/2024 - 16:43

                @M00Cow: What taxpayer funds are they receiving now ?

                According to your argument, pretty much every Australian company and business is taxpayer funded because they received jobkeeper, so moot point…

          They have some rolls but mostly Nigiri.

          Tuna and Salmon being the most common fish.

          Its catered to the locals. I went pretty much every day and there are quite a few tourists there as well.

    • Dermot on 01/05/2024 - 10:55

      I just returned from Melbourne (to Adelaide) on Saturday afternoon on Jetstar and was waiting 50 mins just to bag drop. The delay apparently was caused by massive congestion of flights around the 1:30pm to 4pm slots, so they just could not cope with the amount of luggage going through the system at Tullamarine. Of course flight was delayed by about 30 mins too. By comparison we have also experienced delays over the last 2 years with Virgin and Rex, so not only Jestart with issues, but they seem to cop more flack as more people fly with Jetstar (apparently) domestically than any of the others.

      Do you think it is good value to redeem QFF for jetstar？I am tossing whether I should buy it out right or using the points.

    Not bad, but by the time i add the jetstar membership for $65 and pick a fare with the 20kg luggage, I'm only saving a couple hundred at best and limited to certain dates.

    • souths123 on 30/04/2024 - 19:46

      but now you have the membership for 12 months to use for other discounted flights. If you don't want to do the membership, wait till tomorrow and purchase with everyone else but pay full price for baggage and seats….might work out a little cheaper if you won't be booking anymore Jetstar flights over the next 12 months

    I am thinking about buying a flex ticket - about $100 more expensive than a starter ticket.
    If I have to change a date of travelling, do I only pay the difference in the price?

    • greyeye on 30/04/2024 - 19:50

      thats the idea, but if you buy a free return, i guess the price difference would be significant.

      • tomatosauce on 30/04/2024 - 19:57

        I will be buying a flex ticket for the first trip and a starter for the return ($0).

      • tomatosauce on 30/04/2024 - 20:05

        Their terms and conditions makes me confused.
        Looking at their comparison chart, it looks like I can change the date, and I know I am expected to pay the difference in fares.
        I wonder if I need to pay any extra fee like change fee on top?

        • capslock on 30/04/2024 - 20:20

          You just pay the fare difference although sometimes it doesn't let you change into cheap sale fares. The system might force you to buy the next fare level up.

            @capslock: Thank you for the info.

    After the presale is finished, is it the same prices for both non-Jetstar Club members and Jetstar Club members?

    Just wondering if it's worth holding out to buy at midnight to save the $65

    • capslock on 30/04/2024 - 22:44

      No. Club Jetstar exclusive fares (in purple) will continue to exist after the presale but the savings is usually only around $10

    Oh, OP list was not exhaustive. It didn't list Sydney to Honolulu return, which is included in the sale, as well as some travel periods for other destinations. https://www.jetstar.com/au/en/deals/birthday-sale?dealsorig=…

    Booked in flights for Brisbane to Osaka return for $1348 for 3 people including reserved seats and credit card fee for a 2 week holiday in Sept. Was cheaper to chuck in Club Jetstar membership overall too. I think that was a pretty decent deal. Looked at using my Qantas points, but at 0.5c per point it wasn't worth it.

      Also booked same route for 3 but no reserved seats. Ended up paying $1213 for return flights in August.

    Very interested in Japan, especially due to the currency exchange. Never been, don't know much about it. Which airport should I book for the best tourist spots with family? More interested in scenics and fam activities. And economical too perhaps?
    Will explore details later after booking flights.
    Will stock up on some Yen.

    It's all crap, at least domestically. I have gone through multiple dates/times and to get the free return (at least with Adl -> Syd) you have to be willing to travel late at night to get there and do 2 stops on the way back.. They make it so difficult to get anything decent.

    Friend and I secured a return flight for $324 each to South Korea. No idea what to do there besides the temples, the markets and mainly, the DMZ.
