Jetstar
Jetstar is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qantas Group, and is the leading budget airline in Australia. The airline offers generally reliable point-to-point flights at prices usually lower by 10-30 per cent than available from Qantas or Virgin Australia.
The Jetstar network of 20 domestic airports is served by 27 Airbus A320 aircraft (all purchased new within the past five years) configured with 177 leather seats in a single-class with moderate pitch. Point-to-point service implies that Jetstar does not interline checked baggage with other carriers and does not offer connecting service between its own flights.
The airline’s safety record is spotless and its service record is generally good, with only moderate assistance levels provided to travellers in the event of delays or cancellations. Jetstar observes a strict 30-minute domestic check-in time limit and 25-minute at the gate boarding limit, which has been known to result in denied boarding and loss of fare for slightly late airport arrivals. In-flight services are all extra cost, with service attention friendly and cheerful. For more information see www.jetstar.com.au
