    wow, the new flight selection format sucks

      WTF…. I thought I was on a fake site for a moment…. what's with all the obscure "cents values" that appear at the end of every fare? Are they now quoting in USD and converting to AUD?

    • Samsungnote10 on 22/05/2017 - 12:46

      yeah, it really does,

      it seems like jetstar always add a little feature thats good and then remove it and totally ruin it later

      I really liked their monthly graph that compared prices,

      or a destination, with sale periods,

      now I have to choose the destination and dates blindly

      • jaffar on 22/05/2017 - 19:18

        Yep they had a really nice site going on. However I just discovered that they still have the old booking selection running on their site. It will allow you to view the cheapest flights for that month. On selection of these flights, Jetstar will take you to the new booking page. The old booking page seems to be only accessible from a Google search which might mean it's no longer accessible from the new Jetstar site.

        Here's the link to the old booking page that still works: https://booknow.jetstar.com/

        It didn't want to load on Firefox for me, not sure if its due to the number of add-ons I have but it works on Edge, haven't checked Chrome yet. Also, make sure you double check the date you booked and and price - when it continues onto the new booking page, sometimes the date will reset to the middle of the month. However now that you know the prices / dates for the month from the old booking page, you can immediately go to those dates you want on the new booking page.

    Sounds impressive if true. Would love another trip to Japan, missed the last two sales due to not being able to get time off work, but I reckon I could between July and the end of the year.

    Any deals for Perth to Tokyo? Jetstar usually excludes Perth-Tokyo flights from their deals.

    • Andoes on 22/05/2017 - 13:29

      Nope, Cairns only as far as I could tell.

    • bennythejet on 22/05/2017 - 13:45

      Only deals I can see from Perth:

      Melbourne (Tullamarine) from $189 return (10 Oct 17 - 13 Dec 17 & 10 Jan 18 - 21 Mar 18)
      Cairns from $209 return (10 Jan 18 - 21 Mar 18)
      Adelaide from $159 return (10 Jan 18 - 19 Mar 18)

    • Gaz1 on 22/05/2017 - 14:49

      Presumably because they don't fly direct?
      I guess you could book PER-Cairns & Cairns-Tokyo on this promo?

    • JimmyLmao on 23/05/2017 - 03:53

      It's taken me a couple hours to plan, but I managed to get Perth->Gold Coast $179 return then Gold Coast->Tokyo $269 return ($448 return + bags & seats, direct flights).

      Going for two weeks in Feb 2018. Heading straight up to Sapporo just in time to catch the winter festivals, then back down, hopefully to catch the beginning of the Kawazu Cherry Blossom Festival right before heading back home. With a whole bunch of other stuff in between. First time going to Japan (and leaving Australia for that matter). Pretty excited!!

      • Spending2Much on 23/05/2017 - 07:13

        Any dates Perth to gold coast that stand out? At $179
        Seems searching for the cheap flights is not as simple as before.
        Japan sounds awesome and the planning was worth it.

        • JimmyLmao on 23/05/2017 - 10:05

          It seemed to be only Wednesdays and Sundays at $179 when I booked. So like, 7th Feb 2018, 11th Feb 2018, etc. Didn't really check out other months. Seemed to be plenty of $0 return from Tokyo from 20th Feb 2018 onwards, with plenty of $0 return from Gold Coast around that date too. There was heaps of seats left in the seat selection late last night so I'm not sure how quickly they may have gone this morning.

    • Michael1983 on 23/05/2017 - 09:50

      Was looking for BNE-NRT-BNE flight mid-june to end of july - and it is more than $1000 if it includes meal and luggage plus that jetstar membership club. Not saying that you have to change plane at Cairns.
      So ended up with Qantas - $840 direct flight without hassles.. Not cheap but my family situation forces me to go overseas this time and it seems to be more wiser choice than jetstar.

    Looked at Bri-Hon out late Nov back late Dec. EVERTHING offered is two hops BOTH WAYS with fares around $1000. WTF!!!! I said I'd never fly with these clowns again after previous disasters, why did I even look .. :-( .. !!

    • Wampus on 22/05/2017 - 13:38
      +1

      Jetstar don't fly direct Bris to HNL, you won't find direct flights. Late December is peak PEAK season, so $1000 is probably accurate and they wouldn't include that in this sale.

      • cornucopia on 22/05/2017 - 13:58

        Eh?? I've flown Bri-Hon direct with Jestar half a dozen times. Tell me they've abandoned this plum route and confirm my opinion of the Jetstar flying circus .. :-( .. !!

        Edit: and they did!! While Australian tourism to Hawaii is actually growing .. Jetstar have been losing market share to Hawaiian because Hawaiian treat their travellers like valued customers and not an imposition .. how do I know this, easy I had an Hawaiian trip with Jetstar to Hawaii with an onflight to LAX TOTALLY SCREWED UP by Jetstar with a financial loss of $3000 and didn't get so much as an apology. Never again ….

        • Wampus on 22/05/2017 - 14:34

          Hawaiian are great, I'd prefer to fly them over Jetstar any day of the week. So why do I choose Jetstar? $330 return versus $1000 return.

          Sorry to hear of your financial loss, but shouldn't your travel insurance have come to the party if it wasn't your fault?

        • cornucopia on 22/05/2017 - 15:01

          @Wampus: Complicated .. the Jetstar screw up (failed to fly) nixed on-flight arragements to LAX ex Honolulu with US Air and I then had to use another $3000 in FF points and taxes to put my daughter and partner on Qantas to LA to make holiday connections to Denver. Too difficult for the insurance co ….

          Last time I flew to Hawaii with Jetstar was not long after they stopped flying direct from Brisbane, so we went via Sydney. By the time you add domestic flights, luggage for four flights (two x domestic and two x international), food and entertainment on the international legs, and transfers between terminals in Sydney, it works out similar to a sale fare with Qantas or Hawaiian - with the added benefit of not having to transfer your own luggage between terminals. I was also concerned about missing the connections as I couldn't book them as connecting flights - they were four separate flights. I wouldn't fly Jetstar to Hawaii again unless they start flying direct from Brisbane again.

  • nickj on 22/05/2017 - 13:32

    Can you pricematch on the one-way fare against another airline (e.g. Virgin or Tiger), and then get the return for free? Or would that be rejected?

    • carlenet on 22/05/2017 - 14:49

      Depends on your relationship, however, if you've already discussed it I'd probably just go ahead if you're saving $1k. How long until you can get onto her?

      • nkbswe5 on 22/05/2017 - 14:55

        4 hours, no guarantee her phone is still charged after a 20 hour flight, so who knows. Well after the sale starts!

    • Elision on 22/05/2017 - 14:53

      For me it would depend on your work situation, if you're sure she can get the time off and whether you have discussed how long you want to go for or not. Personally i'd book them because $1000 is a loooot of money. But at the same time it will cost you over $1000 to change it likely if they run out of sale fares and you have to pay the difference.

      • nkbswe5 on 22/05/2017 - 15:06

        Yeah, I might just have to be safe and sit this one out. Jetstar have sales like twice a year, maybe I'll wait for next years one… sigh. In the end, this was "my" end of uni holiday that she wanted to join in on, so she won't mind it being postponed.

      how much is it to change flight dates these days?

      • nkbswe5 on 22/05/2017 - 16:40

        You need to pay $170pp just to pay for the option to change flights from the look of the bundles :/
        The issue is not price but dates, the sale dates had to be 13 days instead of the 10 we agreed so I'll risk waiting and if it sells, we can go next year!
