Jetstar Complaints

Shocking Jetstar Service

Recently returned from Bali to Melbourne on a Jetstar flight and the experience was a very unhappy one.
1/. Day before due to fly out received email advising the flight had been rescheduled and would be departing 24 hours later “because of crewing requirements”
2/. Flight departure time was then changed THREE times, eventually flying out three hours late.
3/. Owing to a serious medical condition had treated myself to a Business Class seat and when requested a second sachet of pretzels was advised by staff member that unfortunately Jetstar only supply sufficient for one...

Stupid Celebrities

One day me and my family got Jetstar tickets for business class to treat ourselves (big mistake). We showed up at the airport excited for our lie flat seats and upcoming holiday. We were at check-in when we got given the news. The flight before ours was canceled and the sunrise crew (news station people) all were given our seats so we got moved from business class to economy. They offered us a voucher as if we were ever going to fly with them again. Now me and my mother will make sure to take any chances to encourage people to fly with anyone but Jetstar.

No communication about flight Cancellation, when website says sold out

Just found today the my family return flight from Tokyo was cancelled without reason. No communication was had. I booked the flight way back in April 2022, and there is still 4 months to the date in January. Plus they changed our direct flight from Gold Coast to Tokyo, now we have to stop in Cairns. I am so annoyed how there was no commination or real reason why the cancelled the flight. Anyone having this trouble now?

Jetstar barely functions as an airline

I booked flights from Helsinki to Adelaide return through Qantas. Had no issues with either Qantas or Finair during this booking but Jetstar are a nightmare.

Flying to Adelaide Jetstar lost the baggage in Singapore. I was without clothes for 12 days of my 23 day trip. There answer was just buy the bare necessities that you need and we will reimburse what you needed once we know if your bags will turn up. The case file is woefully incomplete (not even a description of my bag which I submitted verbally 3 times and in writing twice) and the only reason they even found the bag was...

Flights cancelled

We were booked on a flight to Bali 23rd sept at 4 40 we sat there until 8 30 when they cancelled the flight it was noted the Piloted had left one hour before cancellation and the plane had been in total darkness so they knew it wasn’t going anywhere long before 8.30 we were then told to go through customs again and go to the carousel to pick our bags up the bags took one and a half hours to be delivered as they said there was no ground staff we were then directed back to the check in desk to be allocated a place to stay or the night . The rescheduled flight was 24 hrs later at 5 40. This...

Jetstar cancelled our return flight ... but it's still available on Qantas ... operated by Jetsar for $3500!!!

Hello! I just went on the Jetstar website to confirm our flight dates for a holyday in Thailand. Unfortunately, Jetstar is the only convenient way to fly direct to Phuket from Melbourne so we reluctantly booked the tickets back in June to fly at the end of November. My wife just asked me for the exact dates so I jumped on the Jetstar website and was a little surprised to see that our return flight had been cancelled even though I hadn't heard anything from anybody. so I begged Jess to chat to a human and after some time I did hear a ping to tell me someone was available to chat with me....

Jetstar continuing "Sales" despite not honouring bookings!!

I bought direct flights from Adelaide to Hobart in September as part of a highly advertised sale. Three weeks later, I logged into my Jetstar account to find that the flights had been changed. Jetstar did not contact me to advise there had been a change. Both flights were changed from direct flights to two seperate flights each way with a stop over in Melb. The return flight went from a 1.5hr duration to over 8hrs (with a six hour gap between arriving and departing Melb). I contacted Jetstar and was told that the flights had been changed due to staffing issues yet the same day they...

Cancellation and no support

Statement from Jetstar's Customer Guarantee -
'We strive to make every part of a customer experience with us as uncomplicated, pleasant and enjoyable'
Total rubbish and they should be sued for making a totally misleading statement.

Booked in June this year a direct flight to Bali from Adelaide (late afternoon schedule arrive just before midnight, with a return a week later on their, advertised, afternoon flight). This was to depart Saturday 3/9/22. Fast forward about 6-8 weeks and we find ourselves now booked to go via Melbourne to Bali with the afternoon flight now a...

Non-professionalism and incompetence of boarding ground crew at Penang Internation airport

On August 23rd, the ground crew doing the boarding was highly unprofessional and incompetent for a flight from Penang to Singapore. We were told that the flight was fully booked and only 1 piece of carry-on luggage was allowed. This is fine if the definition of what constitutes a carry-on is clearly defined and enforced. In our case, we had a normal cabin trolley, a small bag carrying a medical device, a ventilator for sleep apnea, and a sling pouch bag where I put my wallet, passport, boarding passes, eye-drop and envelopes from hotel/rental car. For perspective, this pouch bag is...

staff have no ethics or standards

today jetstar cancelled my flight due to a staff shortage.

all of the passengers were ready to board the flight.

So I ran to the ticket desk to get the next flight as every hour I was late to brisbane, would cost me $1,000

I was 3rd in the line. The staff, all 5 of them, were busy at the time arguing over who was due their 15 minute break. Whist the queue grew to over 200 people.

1 of the 5 jetstar staff was actually serving customers. At same time, one of the staff told everyone in the queue to load the app and they stood pretty much a snowflakes chance in...

Worst customer service manager - Tiare, Wellington

I booked a flight to Auckland from Wellington to catch a Qatar airways flight to India.
My flight was scheduled to fly at 9.15 pm on the 27th of August- Saturday.
I got a notification on the Jetstar app saying that the flight has been delayed and will now fly at 9.35 pm instead. I promptly checked in online which meant that I could drop off my baggage by 9.15 at the latest (30 mins rule for online checkins).

I was at the counter at 9.10 pm but there was absolutely no one around. I left my luggage with a friend of mine and managed to get through to the jet star counter...

Excess Baggage for portable stroller in carry-on

Hi, we were travelling from Melbourne to Gold Coast and back as a group of 6 Adults, 2 toddlers and 1 infant. We were travelling first time after Covid for a holiday with our infant who had never been on a flight. After a pleasant and tiring trip we were just trying to get back home. We had checked all our lugged prior to boarding and ensured we were below weight. Our combined allowed weight was 56kg (7kg * 8) and our total baggage was 54Kg. We were weight-checked by ground staff at the gate before boarding the flight from GoldCoast to Melbourne. They advised we need to have everything...

After 146 minutes wasted on the most frustrating calls of my life

Where does one start with the most frustrating communication and poor service ordeal I have ever known!
After 146 minutes of wasted time phoning Jetstar’s 131538 so called customer service numbers, not one thing has changed.
After falling ill with Gastro which I did not wish to share with airplane passengers, 36 hours before my departing flight, I called that dreaded number and to start was waiting on hold for 30 minutes. Already suffering a massive headache, fever & seriously sleep deprived, but wanting to notify Jetstar of my need to cancel my flight tickets ( I knew of...

The Mystery of the Disappearing Baggage

I caught my Jetstar flight to Auckland at Wellington Airport, where before boarding the aircraft they weighed my carry-on baggage. It was, to my astonishment, two kilos over, and I was told I had to leave some of it behind - for a mere two kilos! So I left selected items behind and received assurance that they would be kept safe for me.

That was on 27th May.

Today, 14th July, I am still bereft of my much-needed equipment despite numerous emails, attempts to call various phone numbers, and waiting all afternoon for an online chat that never opened.

Oh, and by the way,...

Flight change and Cancellation

Flight from Adelaide to Sunshine Coast, via Sydney was changed. All other options were shit times. Took flight from Adelaide to Sydney. I have to re-check my bags in to get onto the Sunshine Coast flight - that is pretty shit in itself (having to re-check bags in for connecting flight). About to check in bags and flight cancelled for no reason - engineering problems - more like you fucknuts can't find enough people to make up for all the people sick from the stupid fucking vaccination that you made your staff have. I have to organise accomodation in Australia's most expensive city,...

Late cancellation then stuck on route for six hours

I will save my pennies and fly with another airline. I have committed to this idea after the following. I was scheduled to fly to Brisbane from Melbourne on July 1 for a family members memorial service. Flight cancelled late the night before. No direct fllights available, so had to go via Sydney. Then stuck in Sydney for 6 hours due to on-going delay. I was totally stuffed by the time I finally got to Brisbane.
Never again

Last minute cancellations

Had a flight booked at 2:55pm on Monday July 27 and returning Fri July 8.
First Jetstar cancel my July 8 flight... ok, that's alright, they gave me a week warning before I left and I was able to reschedule to fly back on a Saturday instead.
Then... on the morning of my flight on July 27 at 1:50am, I get a text that this flight has also been cancelled. I have tours booked for the Tuesday through the rest of the week, but apparently the earliest they can get me there is Wednesday!!!!

Both flights were cancelled for "operational reasons", which tells me nothing but sounds...

Voucher Credit

I have a $22 credit left on a Jetstar $100 voucher but their system will not allow this to be used despite their blurb on the phone while waiting endlessly ,only to be told to ring anothr number which I have alresdy spoken to & they said they dont controll the vouchers useage so call another number..same as previously..Absolute rubbish & you cant email customer care as it just bounces back with."thank you for contacting customer care,your email did not reach us" An absolute disgrace..

JETSTAR DELAY ACCEPTED-LACK OF COMMUNICATION NOT EXCUSABLE

Our Jetstar to Sydney from Melbourne was cancelled on Friday 13th May. We can accept the weather issue, however, despite all the spiel about customer service all we received was an email to say the flight was cancelled. The next flight out was 6 hours later flying to Sydney via Brisbane. The flight from Brisbane was delayed. Most of the decent food stores at the Brisbane airport had stopped serving food.
When we finally arrived in Sydney our plane sat on the tarmac for an hour while another Jetstar plane refueled in our bay.
I am waitng to receive an apology from Jetstar. On...
