Flight Cancelled due to lack of ticket sales

Our flight from Ballina to Melboure was cancelled as a result of the incoming flight being cancelled due to lack of ticket sales.

The Best Jetstar could offer us was a flight the following day via Sydney with a 4 hour stopover before flying to Melbourne. This was not acceptable to us as we had prior events arranged.

I asked to be flown from the gold coast which is only 1 hour away by car, Jetstar refused and would only offer a refud on the original.

We ourselves were able to book a flight 2 hours later, also with Jetstar (unfortunately) from the Gold coast to Melourne. We are now out of poket $200 each which according to Jetstar is our problem.

Just because you fly a budget airline does not negate the responsibility to provide customer service. Not good Enough Jetstar......

it certainnly shouldn't

it certainnly shouldn't negate that basic responsibility. as bad as it it was for you, lack of ticket sales might be a good sign. a sign people are starting to boycott this trashy prostitute-in-the-sky airline.

Like is being suggested here

Like is being suggested here often let your federal MP know in writing and copy the Minister for transport. other countries dont allow this to happen unless the airline compensates you. Fight for your right now not with Jetstar but via the legislators. Canclled flighst just happen too much due to "operational requirments" i.e the bottom line. Stuff u as long as we are ok is their motto

It is poor if they wouldn't

It is poor if they wouldn't allow you to reroute out of the Gold Coast. I would have thought that'd be an easy out for them.
