This is a perfect example of

This is a perfect example of why Jetstar is such a scam. They'll sell the case fare cheaper but then charge $30 for 25kg checked baggage. Virgin only charges $12 for 23kg. Jetstar charges $7.50 per sector credit card fee, Virgin charges $4.50. If you do the maths and take ALL factors in to account Virgin will usually work out cheaper! And Virgin gives much better service too!
