[Regulator]

Just booked a Melbourne to Bangkok return ticket for $308.32, including cc booking fee.

Dates are in May, however sales goes through to July.

So cheap, hard not to book. 

Melbourne guys get a quick trip in

That's awesome man! Booked mine through Jetstar for $504 return oct/nov

had I not added checked baggage and food I would have saved $200

all good though, props to Jetstar for decent price on a direct flight!

Jetstar is the budget end of Qantas. On flights to Thailand they have nice newish Boeing 787 Dreamliners. Quite comfortable plane. Skytrax

I've flown return Melbourne-Bangkok return two or three times; day flight out but overnight back.

In February I flew one-way Phuket-Melbourne. I'd flown out on Scoot: Melbourne-Singapore-Utapao (Pattaya/Rayong airport with 40 minute immigration queue).

The price Jetstar and other budget carriers advertise is just a come-on, they indulge in 'drip pricing'; the 'next screen' asks if you have baggage; do you want a meal? etc etc. So you need to work out the real bottom line. Similar to car advertising until the law stipulated the advertised price must be 'driveaway'.

Tip, check the flight is direct: some are via Singapore so take quite a bit longer.

My next trip I have booked on ThaiAir; after all the add-ons, it was not much more for a full-service airline with 30kg baggage, good for bringing shopping home.

'World's worst airline'? No, it's not Jetstar, regardless of what you've heard

I've flown Sydney to Phuket with Jetstar. It was ok, nothing special or terribly bad.

It is a LCC so wasn't expecting much anyways, other than cheap flights.

If they had a direct route Syd-Bkk I would fly with them if they were the cheapest.

[Explorer8939]

Ok, I flew Jetstar BKK-MEL and survived.

 

the first thing I noticed, if you didn't pre-pay, not only was there no food, but nothing to drink. It was a red-eye, and I slept the whole flight, so I didn't mind.

secondly, for a small fee, I could select my seat, and I chose one with huge legroom, so I could sleep. Which I did.

You can bring your own food on board and there is a water dispenser as well.

Do you research it's a no frills airline.

Just be thankful it wasn't delayed or cancelled.

I went online to look at booking a Dec trip, cheapest rtn was almost $900 for a base fare! Dates of travel for the cheapie?
