    You have to get there first.

  • omblygombly on 28/11/2024 - 09:39

    It will be your return flight that gets cancelled.

    • snoopydoop on 28/11/2024 - 10:53

      Would this actually result in you needing to buy a new flight with no credit offered?

      • MrThing on 28/11/2024 - 11:03
        +2

        no, but the new flight offered will be the week after your originally scheduled one

        • snoopydoop on 28/11/2024 - 11:04

          Why? Do they put a lower priority on rescheduling these return for free flights?

          • MrThing on 28/11/2024 - 11:05

            @snoopydoop: cant create a seat if the very next flight is already full, then your fighting with everyone else on your flight who got cancelled

            who knows how they prioritise people on your flight since jetstar doesnt have a status level like other airlines

            • snoopydoop on 28/11/2024 - 11:07

              @MrThing: I mean I've had a Jetstar flight cancel and have the rescheduled flight be a couple of hours later, are you implying these return for free flights are somehow different or just making a general remark about the airline?

              Comment I'm replying to perhaps implies the return for free flight being cancelled would somehow be worse than usual?

              • MrThing on 28/11/2024 - 11:16

                @snoopydoop:

                are you implying these return for free flights are somehow different or just making a general remark about the airline?

                general remark, I have had jetstar domestic flights cancelled and the next one available is 24hrs later which is no good as heaps of people fly for a specific time critical reason whether business meetings / work or holiday/connecting flights

                • snoopydoop on 28/11/2024 - 11:25

                  @MrThing: Yeah totally. Would never fly for business purposes or if there were something essential either end, but just more concerned if they can use the"free flight" as a loophole to treat you worse in some way, like you're not a "paying customer" so you have less rights or something.

    • donman92 on 28/11/2024 - 11:31

      No issues besides a 30min delay for my Korea return for free.

  • AsukaST on 28/11/2024 - 09:47

    Does it apply to business class ticket as well?

    • ryefig on 28/11/2024 - 10:13

      It doesn't seem like it as it is for 'Starter' fares only.

      • AsukaST on 28/11/2024 - 10:18

        thanks. it looks like they never run good deals on international business tickets :(

        • nizzkid on 28/11/2024 - 11:12

          In the past they would run international business class specials once sometimes twice a year.
          Haven't seen any for a few years now.

    • donman92 on 28/11/2024 - 11:32

      Plus jetstar business is a joke - may as well just get extra leg room seat in eco

    Literally got my flight cancelled last weekend on my first time flying with Jetstar.

    Ozbargain dooming was actually right for once, fair enough

    • UberIsCool on 28/11/2024 - 10:14

      Did they put you on another one for free?

      • hotori on 28/11/2024 - 10:15

        Yeah, but lost a whole day and had to stress about making it back home for an appointment which was not fun. They said it was weather related but some Qantas and Virgin had planes flying to Melbourne at the same time

        • ryefig on 28/11/2024 - 10:21

          Check your travel insurance. In cases where your flight is cancelled/delayed and you have a pre booked appointment (this is defined by the insurance company), you may be able to rebook on another airline that is operating the route and be compensated through insurance.

          that's was not Jetstar's fault.
          It was a very foggy day. dozens of domestic flights was cancelled across all airlines.

    some great prices there

  • ignited141 on 28/11/2024 - 10:49

    It took a couple of mess up's from Jetstar's side forcing me to go through their support which is absolutely atrocious, 1 of which was a return for free fair. Now, $300 seems cheap to avoid them.

    • snoopydoop on 28/11/2024 - 10:54

      What happened with the return for free fare, were they arguing that the flight wasn't worth anything so they don't need to help you or something?

      • ignited141 on 28/11/2024 - 11:09

        They left two hours late travelling internationally so i missed my connecting flight in syd (also operated by them) they tried to charge me for it and didn't want to pay the parking because i was over time

    To counteract all the supposed jetstar horror stories, I've flown to SE Asia 1-2 times per year most years before and after covid, and never had more than a 1 hour delay.

    • taxdeduction on 28/11/2024 - 11:23

      Yeah Jetstar wasn't too bad for me as well. Had a return flight from Seoul that was cancelled and we were put on the next day's flight (which ended up being fairly empty so was a great experience with more space).
      They paid for the extra night of hotel of our choice, and even the shuttle to the airport

    • cv05 on 28/11/2024 - 11:37

      Me neither and I've also flown internationally a number of times with them.

      Actually the last flight they managed to board everyone early and we got into Sydney an hour ahead of schedule.

  • souths123 on 28/11/2024 - 11:26

    they are bringing in more of these A320neos, albeit, newer versions. The seats in the ones they have now are not good and a nightmare for overnight flights, as there is no adjustable headrest and so nowhere to try to lean your head against when trying to sleep and a really weird shape so you never feel comfortable. I certainly hope the seat is more comfortable than their current ones. Ok for short haul or day flights to shorter distance international, but NOT for overnight international. The dreamliners are good, but if they start replacing those with these on longer haul flights, then I might be skipping Jetstar, unfortunately.

  • Time has come on 28/11/2024 - 11:30

    "Melbourne to Uluru (Ayers Rock) from $115"

    That sounds nice, let's check if Ayers Rock Resort is having a sale. Yay, they are 40% off 3 night stays! Woah, still $400 per night means $1200. That's cute.

    • punkel on 28/11/2024 - 11:40

      Just camp dude.. proper outback experience under the stars.

      • Time has come on 28/11/2024 - 11:50

        That's an idea but I don't have the equipment.

        Car rental is also 3X what it was pre COVID. (Had Uluru flight, car, hotel all booked for April 2020. LOL).

        EDIT: The true OzB way is to use a nearly free one way rental to camp and drive home. This is hopefully what I do nearer the end of summer.

    Flew to Bali with Jetstar recently (direct from Adelaide) no issues whatsover.

    Would be nice to get some offers for this January

  • raymondholt on 28/11/2024 - 11:47

    Anyone with jetstar club and have 5 minutes -
    May you please check Brisbane to Tokyo Jan 24th to Feb 7th is compatible with free return?

    Sincerely,
    Raymond Holt.

    It's worth the trip to Japan just to drink cheap booze for a few days
