Business class on a low-cost carrier! How does it compare? Is it worth it? Watch this review to find out.
Jetstar is the low-cost subsidiary of Qantas. They operate both the Airbus A320 and the Boeing 787 - my advice is avoid the A320 at all costs. However the 787 is another story - especially in business class.
This Jetstar Business Class flight review covers my flight back from Bali to Melbourne. It includes the business class lounge at Denpasar Airport, boarding, take-off, the Jetstar business class seat and inflight service.

The way your wife looked at you when you toasted! I wish someone would look at me like that! You two make a lovely couple.
She's quite something isn't she.
something surreal isnt it, unfortunately something ill never experience... #foreversingle
They are adorable, aren't they!
Every other CZcams trip reporter could learn some things from your videos. I really appreciate your efforts to be respectful by not filming other passengers are shoving the camera in the face of the crew on your flights. So many other reviewers are incredibly disrespectful and invasive of other people's privacy. You also do a fantastic job with the camera and editing in general by showing everything that needs to be shown in a way that doesn't drag it out needlessly. Your voice overs are concise, articulate, and actually give useful information unlike so many others on here. Easily one of the best reviewers on CZcams and I'm officially a fan!
"The best seats for couples are those... ON THE SIDE" took my by surprise ahah my mind was already thinking "are those in the middle"😂 another nice video :)
Wow I never realised Dennis doubles as a health inspector. Good work though identifying that grubby power point.
The engine on take-off sounded like it needed a good spray of WD-40 😀
Jetstar 787 featuring Mrs Bunnik! Another great review Dman.
I got one of those East travel pillows, quick ship to the Usa, used it on my flight to LHR yesterday, I absolutely love it. Nice Review of Jetstar Dennis.
Another great video Dennis! I always enjoy seeing that notification pop up that tells me you have uploaded a new video and you never disappoint! Happy flying
Another great review Dennis!
Massive praise to this channel all the way from Scotland!!!
Finally an Upload!By the Way,It was great and Keep Up The Good Work!😁😆😄✈️
Again a great video Dennis. I enjoy every video you make. Hello from a loyal Dutch fan.
Great review Dennis. I agree with your comments about the state of tray tables on both domestic and international flights and across all classes the Airlines need to really improve in this area
I love watching your videos Dennis
2:37 rest in peace thoes who died today oct 30 2018 in the lion plane crash may u rest in peace
DBs videos are always worth watching.
Another great video!
Greetings from Germany. Your Videos are amazing Dennis !
I'm a simple man. I see a Dennis Bunnik video, I watch it.
I watched your Air NZ 787 Premium Economy review recently ... I'm excited as flying that to Perth next month. I hope my experience is as good as yours.
Great review. You guys make a beautiful couple!
Dennis - I love your videos/reviews. Having recently flown JQ Biz class from DPS to SYD myself, I think the review is spot on with the exception of the lounge. I found it pretty shabby and over crowded (especially during the Sunday night departures). Anyway, please keep up the good work.
Well done video! Keep up the good work.
Missus Dennis! Yessss Great to see her!
Always like your videos, but really great when your wife makes an appearance! Happy flights and thanks for a great channel.
I didn't realise Jetstar had the 787. Wow. I've flown Jetstar from Perth to Melbourne and was quite pleased, it was better than I expected at the price.
Dennis, I used your reviews to make a decision when flying to Australia. I flew LAX-MEL on United Polaris and made sure to avoid the window due to your experience. I am planning on flying Jetsar Honolulu to Brisbane. Thank you for positing these honest and helpful reviews. I'll be sure to bring my disinfecting wipes for Jetstar (as well as my wallet for those $4 coffees that I experienced flying out of Avalon in January).
Thank you mate!
Thanks! - have a great trip!
A very nice review Dennis...!!! 🛫😁🍾🍸🛬
Thank you so much for this review. I did laugh hysterically at the "Bintang Express" comment!! I have definitely done that flight, especially when flying solo, however, I will be taking my daughter's back again soon, to Bali, and have been looking at better options, and this looks very suitable for a 6 hour flight. Thank you once again.
2:27 Dennis Bunnik’s Trademark nod after taking a sip of champagne!
Great review, Dennis! Their food & beverages looks quite good though
🎼Do do do do do, do dddoo. Why do I find Dennis’ vlogs so engaging?!
Geesh... Dennis already makes elegant vids... then he brings his lady, and the entire elegancy changes. Very beautiful indeed. Very beautiful.
Spot on choice of music
Dennis u deserve avord for the best youtuber of the year
Love the video and the plane ✈️🛫🛬🛩
I think you chose the right meal! Another terrific review Dennis and I hope you enjoyed Bali...never been there but may consider Jetstar J class for my first visit! My travel agent loves your reviews and every time I book an international flight with him he sends me a link to one of your reviews...eg Malaysian Airlines A330 and the Throne seats etc!! Great work!
Very nice video. I enjoyed watching it.
Fukin Bali mate! Flown this flight many times. Good video, cheers!
i am so glade you and your wife had a good flight so cool RR :)
Nice video mate!
Great Video
So in summary nice bloke falls in love with sophisticated lady and they end up flying Jetstar trying to avoid looking "down under" to the grubby underneath :) Such is the eternal love story.
My wife is lucky to get me to take her in an Uber taxi to Gatwick for some plane spotting! Our back garden is far cheaper with the old binoculars......
Great review once again!
very interesting glad you enjoyed it. Glad your wife enjoyed herself
i went on a flight from OOL - NRT on this plane, super nice
Great video Dennis! On a recent trip to America we flew Jetblue Mint Class Vegas to JFK. The experience was fantastic and the seats, meals and entertainment would rival some long haul business class. While this Jetstar experience looked good they should pay attention to the Mint Class experience and price!
Hi Dennis another great video, Norwegian Premium have the very same seats but there legroom is a lot more than Jetstar.
Jetstar must have the best business class among budget carriers. And it's miles ahead of Scoot biz
air asia X my favourite ..a330 flat bed
TakeMeThere🛫 no scoot is way better
awesome video as always Deniz, what trips do you have upcoming?!
Nice one!
Great video.
Have flown Jetstar J on 787 did you find the angle of the footrest useless?
Okay so those power points looked grim as hell but having seen the rest of the product and the crew i'd happily put that down to a bad cleaning team that day. The vegi meal looked abit ad & sorry but they more-often-than-not tend to. ( very respectfully) Julie knows how to work the camera way better than you lol.
Sticking with the 80s/ 90s theme music wise I was actually at a Level 42 gig( not sure if they ever made it to Oz?) when you notification came up and I had to hit mute double quick on my cell as it queued up lmao.
Great review as ever and it's always nice to see the smaller airlines get a feature.
Amazing flight review can you do China eastern?
Dang it, 20 seconds late
Great to see your (whatever she is) girlfriend wife sister etc. Great video thanks for posting.
Hi Dennis, great video as always. I was recently in the Premier Lounge and found it to be overcrowded, noisy, dirty and very hard to get a seat with very average food and drink.
Thanks for another great review, Dennis. Your food definitely looked better than your wife's vege option, sadly. As a vegetarian myself, it's sometimes hit and miss... but sometimes my option looks way better than the meat one... Enjoy your next flight. 👍
thanks mate
I really miss the old Jetstar Star Class from Syd-HNL...it was a great product and was at a great price point.
But, alas, all good things must come to an end...
Now dennis bunnik becoming my best friend and I am familiar. So he can very well talk to me.
G’day DB, not sure if I missed it, but what’s the cost difference to Bus. Class? Are there times to grab the flights cheap or just luck of the draw?
I recently flew to Bali on Air NZ, in premium economy. Slightly better than Jetstar Business class, and slightly cheaper. Alas, no flights from Australia as far as I am aware...
Actually very good for 5/6 hour flights esp daytime and can use points quite easily but with surcharges the GA full J ticket competitive if you need to lie down
you didn't kiss your wife...... but then doing three things at the same time, holding a glass, the camera and a kiss would've been way too much for a man :-)
but I love your reports, short, informative, with humour and to the point. Thanks a lot Dennis.
Great review Dennis. Pretty disappointing when basic cleanliness is lacking on an airline. Oh and you are definitely punching above your weight with your lovely wife!
I am very surprised to watch this video. We flew jetstar Melbourne to Denpasar a couple of years ago. No preflight drinks, only quick meal service after which the crew disappeared. We dropped jetstar from our consideration after that flight.
You are batting over your average there mate!
Was the water collected before takeoff in the empty seat? Or put there later?
I found this video because I wanted to see if the upgrade to business was worth it. The value of an upgrade for me is the ability to sleep in the seat and this doesn't seem worth it. All the other stuff you can keep, just give me a flat space to lie down on a long haul flight.
To give you an idea, Sydney to Phuket I can get for $200 or Business for $820 off-peak with Jetstar. I would much prefer to buy two economy seats for $400, one in front of the other, rip out one of them and allow the seat to lay flat 😁 ie like the sleeper buses or trains you can get all throughout Asia. You could even get 3 seats for $600 which still works out cheaper than Business and would allow a fully flat economy bed. I don't get why airlines don't offer an option like this. Less bodies in seats also means less weight onboard so less fuel costs etc.
Hey Dennis, do you have a my.flightradar profile or similar that shows us where you have flown? Must be a pretty insane set of stats and sectors on the map.
2:39 RIP JT610 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Dennis, why don't you start hotel reviews as well? Btw, great video
you should do a fan meet up
Hi Dennis , this is a much better option to fly Jetstar than the Bintang express to Bali economy , it looks surprisingly really good, when the seat in front reclines, does it feel in your space ? Thanks for yet another brilliant review , indeed my favourite. Thank you
As flying is starting to slowly be coming back , I am looking at Bangkok to Melbourne/Adelaide route. Does anyone know the best ,cheapest business class airlines for this route?.
I wonder if the Lion 737 at 2:40 is the one that crashed today off the coast of Jakarta?
For s six or seven hour flight to somewhere like Denpasar do you think a lie down bed is an unnecessary luxury Dennis?
Did jetstar have any alcohol issues this time
EDIT: The IFE screens appear to be an older generation than the economy ones (rather strange)
I bet they retrofitted economy with screens more recently.
Jed Robertson the screens in economy were installed at the same time as the screens in business
The screens in economy are non adjustable, where as the screen in Business is in a plastic casing that can swivel so you can still view your screen when the seat in front is reclined
Jetstar may call it business class - but its really Premium Economy (with the exception of lounge access) - but it doesn't entice me - although its a million times batter than Jetstar economy. Well produced video nonetheless
A shout out to Mrs Bunnik !
Just found and followed you. I'm from adelaide.. what job allows you to fly so much... looking forward to watching more of your videos..
HI Dennis, I suggest you try Garuda Business class if you want even more luxury flying to Bali :)
Do Jetstar do priority baggage for business class passengers?
the dirty tray table needed a bit more elaboration
Where you on a Max Pack for Lounge Access Dennis ? .. may be using JQ DPS BNE :)
Why are power points under plane seats always so disgusting?! Great review as always Dennis!
Not going to lie “Business Class on Jetstar” just sounds like an Oxymoron to me 😂
Why is the IFE bigger in economy?
👍🏻👍🏻
2:39 737 Max owned by lion... might be the same that crashed in Indonesia?
nice
If that was J class I'd hate to try riding in Y....... I hope the service was better than what I was seeing.
There is a pretty good, solid reason why there is a web site called Don't Fly JetStar. To my knowledge, no other airline in Oz has an ACCC award judgement for false and misleading statements. $1.95M if I remember correctly.
Love your videos, but for myself, I will never set foot on another Jetstar plane.
When will it be launched in India?
Wow
Your wife is stunning. Wish you both continued happiness.
It's kind of interesting to see similar reviews by you and Paul's trip Reports on the same airline. Looks like it was pretty solid as far as low cost Asian airlines are concerned. Great to see your video as always Dennis!
It's an Australian airline
my bad
The worst part is you pay the business class fare for a premium economy seat. The service is good though. In reality you can get Garuda for the same price but with an actual business class seat.
Are they really champagne or procecco/cava?
Hey Dennis,
Do you happen to know the name of the pilot on this flight?
Only asking as one of mums friends is a Jetstar 787 Pilot.
Cheers!
It looked comfortable, but the filthy power points would worry me about what might be wrong with the unseen technicalities of the aircraft!
After they cheers there's a thai 747 at the airport they took the 747 out off air haw lold is this video reason i noticed i love the old 747 so many memories as a child would love to fly with a 747 again this video is very old
