Jetstar cancelled my flight 2 hours prior to boarding. At the gate, I was with my wife and two children, asked the representative to find next available flight to get back home. The representative only offered me to stay at a hotel for three days.(?) Then they will able to provide us another flight. Of course, I did not accept it because of my children’s classes and it's not fair!
I purchased another tickets from another company to get back home. Then, asked Jetstar to get money back.
Here is the our all conversation that they all offered me and my answers!
Dear Ugur,
Thank you for contacting us. We understand that your flight to Singapore on 4 February 2017 was cancelled and that you would like us to provide a refund of your booking from another carrier.
I’m sorry about the impact this disruption had on your plans and that you weren't able to travel with us on this occasion. I can confirm that we have provided you with a refund of AUD $392 for your untraveled flight and it was processed last 8 February 2017.
Based on the conditions of your booking, we’re not able to cover any additional costs you may have incurred in this instance. If you have travel insurance you may wish to follow this up with your insurer to see if you are able to make a claim.
Cancellations are common challenge across the airline industry and happen for a number of reasons. Your flight was cancelled due to important crewing requirements. While we understand the inconvenience this may have caused, we will always follow the appropriate safety measures for our aircraft even if it means we need to change our schedule.

Hi,
First of all, Can you please send me your cancelation policy that shows you are not able to cover any additional costs.
Second, I paid $890.76 for the round-trip tickets. Why did you give me a refund of $392 instead of $445 for my untraveled flight. You did not provide any service to me, but I still got lose my money. It is not fair!
Third, I will not use your service anymore. Why did you offer me to use your service again? I have already given you a change to have an experience, but you are not able to bring us back home. Why should we use Jetstar again? If we give you another chance, are you able to bring us back home? I do not accept your offer!
Last thing, Jetstar cancelled my flight 2 hours prior to boarding. At the gate, I was with my wife and two children, asked the representative to find next available flight to get back home. The representative only offered me to stay at a hotel for three days.(?) Then they will able to provide us another flight. Of course, I did not accept it because of my children’s classes. By the way If we stayed at the hotel for three days, it would have been more expensive than $50 Voucher, I think. Anyway! Also, I tried to find a solution to get back home, but nobody did not even try to help us. It was really a huge disappointment!

On Feb.20,2017 was my mother
On Feb.20,2017 was my mother's flight going back to Nagoya Japan . We're already there to the airport around 9:00pm and we asked the ladyguard about the lauggage and she told us that my mother can bring her lauggage bag by 10pm so we decided to have our dinner first . After we eat , my mother decided to go inside the airport and we go back home knowing that by 12:04am is the deparute of the Jestar Airplan however 30mins. Ago my mother called us on her messenger telling us the bad news that she have and that is her flight was cancelled . We told her to ask the reason why her flight was cancelled but even the staff of Jetstar can't tell the passengers the reason why!! She offered by the Jetstar to stay in the hotel but my mother decided to go back in manila because the staff of JETSTAR gave her an assurance that they will call my mother regarding the rescheduling of her next flight! Sad to say until now no call from JETSTAR about her nextflight! My mother need to go back to Nagoya Japan as soon as possible since she's having her medication there! How irresponsible the Jestar staff to forget what they told to their passengers!!! Whatever happens to my mother Jetstar company is accountable for this because your so IRRESPONSIBLE and you neglect the needs of your passengers to go to their destination!!!
