Change of itinerary

I had flights booked to Melbourne from Brisbane at 10.50am on the Friday before Christmas. Today I received an email from Jetstar advising me that the flight is now departing at 6.25pm. 8 hours later!!! Arriving in Melbourne at 9.45pm! We have a three and a half hour train trip to add to that to get to our destination - hence the early flight. I am of the understanding that many flights have been changed. I waited 58 minutes on the phone to get to speak to a person. The best they could offer me was another date OR a refund. Pardon! This is the Friday before Christmas.

I have had my itinerary

I have had my itinerary changed 3 times in the last 6 months drastically effecting my travel plans. I'll never book Jetstar if I need to be in control of the length of my stay.
