Jetstar primarily use Asian based cabin crews for their international routes, including Hawaii flights, as it’s cheaper than hiring Australians. Having said that, you’ll often find at least 1 Australian on the crew too.

The flight deck is crewed by Australians, as the pilots union have a rule that requires Australian registered aircraft to have Australian pilots.

I’m Aussie and I have never been to Bali because of the bogans. You are a brave man.

I totally agree when you say budget airline done right! I'm from Canada and I travel regularly to Australia. While I always fly Air Canada to cross over the pacific, I always fly JetStar domestically. Great prices, great staff, great aircraft and product. You can't go wrong!

Bogan express, love that nickname! I dont mind jetstar domestically here in Australia and have been tempted to book them internationally but have been put off by their regular cancellations.

Being from the UK never heard of the term “Bogan” so looked it up. I think in the UK it would be known as a chav. A loud uncouth person. I personally wouldn’t like being on a flight with a majority going to Magaluf in Majorca. There again Majorca has some lovely places and quiet places to visit.

I flew 787 with Jetstar to Tokyo Narita last week, it was a very comfortable flight, little to no turbulence and the 787 handles that very well. We arrived in Tokyo 1 hour ahead of schedule which is always a positive

Hello Sir!
Jetstar was my first ever plane I hopped in because of its cheap fare but it’s all worth it. Landing was so smooth! Kudos to the Pilot and the crew for a job well done! 👏🏻💕

Good to see a low cost carrier with IFE! Hope this trend continues among all LCC’s! ☺️

Jetstar is good domestically however I flew them international to Hawaii and ended up getting delayed for around 20hrs. It’s been 6 months since that flight and we are only just getting compensated. You should defiantly try Tigerair too cause they are kinda known in Australia as the Aussie version of Ryanair!

I’m an Australian and I didn’t have a great experience on Jetstar 787 when flying from MEL-HNL.. also if you ever visit us again you should make sure to fly Rex or Virgin Australia’s 737s

I flew Jetstar domestically many times over the years and only ever experienced 2 cancellations. I never had any insurance but the staff were always lovely and one time having a flight cancelled in Cairns, I was given a hundred dollar voucher to use on my next flight and my hotel I had to book was reimbursed. The same happened once on the Sunshine Coast when a crew member suddenly became ill so they cancelled the flight so our hotel stay was reimbursed.
I flew the Dreamliner from Mel-Cns once (it went to Japan), and departed and arrived at the international terminals. Had seat 10A and loved it as it was the first time on a Dreamliner. As a budget airline, I’ve never had any dramas with them and I always paid the extra to sit in 1F if it was available.

I have Flown on jetstar from Brisbane to Sydney

True.Bogan Express is from Perth to Bali on Air Asia A320 for $90 ea way.

Jetstar really isn’t bad. Flew Brisbane to Bali return for 170 AUD on the 787. Pay in advance is key with them.

I'm an Australian and there are two things I avoid when I travel. 1. Jetstar. 2. Australians. Bogan describes a certain type of Australian who would consider going to Bali. It's also an offensive and totally unnecessary word in Canada.

[rainebermejo]

We almost always fly jetstar MNL-KIX and vice versa and thats like 3-4 hours and i dont have anything bad to say about them. Considering its price, its good.

[lukesquires]

Having done this many times, it can be brutal having had a nice relaxing Bali holiday followed by a 5 hour overnight flight into Sydney. You did well mate to get 3 hours sleep in that seat. Great video as always.

[craigwillis]

Thanks as always Josh for a great flight and yes it appears they have lifted their game. I keep reading reports about cancelled flights...weighing hand luggage...rude crew and dreadful check in staff...not on this flight by the look of things!! Well done as always mate and I look forward to your next adventure !! Thanks again !!

I very recently flew Jetstar from Denpasar to Singapore, flight was barely half full...I'd say the flight was not bad at all! 👍🏼
