Holiday travel tips
Last Updated: 21/12/2015 03:13 PM
We want to make your Jetstar journey as smooth as possible this busy festive season.
Here are a few tips to ensure you beat the crowds and get on to your flight as quickly as possible.
1. Check in online
Checking in before you head to the airport saves you time and means you can go straight to the gate (carry-on only) or use our dedicated bag drop queues when you arrive at the terminal (if you have checked baggage).
You can check in online for domestic flights using the Jetstar smartphone app or via our website from 2 days to 1 hour before your scheduled departure time.
2. Get to the airport early
We recommend you head to the airport as early as you can to avoid a last minute rush – at this time of year there’s always more traffic on the roads and longer queues at counters and security.
You can keep an eye on your Flight Status via the Jetstar app or online at Jetstar.com.
3. Don’t let your baggage weigh you down
Ensure your carry-on and checked baggage are within limits and labelled with your name and a contact phone number (ideally a mobile number).
Carry on limits apply, so make sure your bag complies.
Check that essential items such as medicines are carried in your carry-on bag.
It’s also a good idea to ensure items you may accidentally leave on board the aircraft are labelled with a contact number, including items like headphones or personal electronic devices such as iPads.
