  • In this weeks video I find myself flying onboard the Jetstar 787, and it was an experience to say the least! What are your thoughts on it after watching the video? Would you fly on it?

    Hi Aidan, Bogan Bus describes it really well mate. The seats on it are ok for an hour or two, but don't really cut it for long haul. You're absolutely right in saying that it's a much better idea if you're flying long haul to pay the little extra and use a full service carrier. Thanks for all your reports mate, they're really good! 😊

    I've flown Star Class on Jetstar between the Gold Coast and Japan, and that was OK, but I wouldn't do it in economy. The trick with Jetstar is to keep your expectations very low. That way, disappointment is minimal.

    B787 has the same seat pitch as the Qantas A330 that flies to Asia (which is79cm) so you have the same legroom even if you pay more to fly Qantas!

    dude, i cant wait to watch this video, personally as much as i dont want to fly the jetstar 787, being based in melbourne it can be quite hard, as we regularly fly to honolulu and jetstar being the only carrier that flies this route makes it 10 hours of hell, even worse when they operated the a330. thats why im hoping that qantas or hawaiian airlines will expand into melbourne!!!

    This is so surreal... International terminal for a domestic. I've done Malaysia Airlines a couple of times between SYD and MEL on the way to and from KUL back in the day. I found the YCL on the JQ 787 surprisingly decent. It's ok for a day time flight, but no... Definitely JCL on a longer flight.

      Because it’s an onward journey qantas wants bums on seats so they sell tickets for the Sydney to Melbourne part of the trip they do this in Perth too with QF9 continues to Melbourne as QF10 domestic from London but departs as an international flight you have to pas through border force because you’re mixing from international passengers who haven’t been screened by security or border force yet but will when they get to Melbourne
