Jetstar 1 Million Seat Sale

Just venting my disappointment here again at Jetstar and their lack of consideration for Melbourne passengers. Sale announced tonight Syd - Hnl only $190 plus taxes - nothing for the Melbourne passengers cost is still $524 plus taxes..makes a differencce of over $1000 for two people - called them to enquire about domestic flights to and from Mel-Syd on my flight dates but was told would only be from Avalon to Sydney and then extra baggage allowance you rey bring home ( 2 x 32Kg bags) would have to be paid for as the Domestic Segment is only 20Kg...am I being unreasonable? Hopefully they will announce a Mel - Hnl sale soon.

If you look carefully there are a few MEL (Tullamarine) / SYD JQ flights on sale. B ok them separably. Ot travel Qantas, Virgin etc.

Note there are very good domestic sales on currently for the same dates as the international JQ sales.

Re: Jetstar 1 Million Seat Sale

Don't like to rub it in... But I just booked SYD-HNL-SYD for 4 people in January for $3000. It'll work out cheaper than a family holiday on the Gold Coast.

Did the same for April, 2 people for just over $1500. Must give JQ some credit, this sale (although its not super-cheap) has been run fairly well.

Remember JQ don't fly MEL-HNL anymore (or won't for much longer), so they're less likely to give a cheap sale fare if it involves a QF domestic connection.

Re: Jetstar 1 Million Seat Sale

Remember though that your luggage allowance to the USA is 2 x 32 kilo bags but if you fly a domestic segment from Perth-Syd return then you are only allowed to cart 1 x 20kgs...I guess that's my dilemma, we love to shop over there ( we have been many times ) and bring back heaps but no good if I cannot get it from Sydney to Melbourne. Good Luck with the Perth-Syd flights..

Not necessarily; your itinerary may have several different bookings or PNR's. Your PER-SYD flight does not have to be the same booking as your SYD-US flight to get the 2 PCE rules applting.

When checking in for PER-SYD, you must be able to show your itinerary includes travel to the US. You should have all documentation with you when checking-in at PER, most specifically this include all ticket numbers.

If the Australian domestic flight and the flight to/from the USA are on the same ticket, then the baggage allowance for the entire journey will be 2 pieces.

Re: Jetstar 1 Million Seat Sale

NM Thanks and OK..BUT how do you do that..do I book through a travel agent or through Jetstar on line, If I say I am travelling Mel - Hnl then they want to charge me the the $524 plus taxes...how do I book two sep flights and make sure they are on the same ticket and ensure the savings - only have to the 22nd to secure these seats under these sales conditions, Any help appreciated.

If you book two flights separately on the web site then they will be different tickets. You need to book as one itinerary, so needs to be MEL-HNL. There is generally a downside to chasing the cheapest fares with low-cost carriers.

NM, respectfully, I do not believe that to be the case.

As I posted earlier, the total itinerary is what is important.

More here from Qantas.com: Flying with Us - Before You Travel - Baggage - Checked Baggage

Quote:
^ If your itinerary includes a flight to/from or via the USA, US Territories, Tahiti, South America or Canada, you are entitled to two pieces (one piece for infants) of checked baggage on all Qantas and QantasLink operated flights within your itinerary,# regardless of whether these flights appear on the same or a separate ticket. You will be required to provide proof of your international ticket at check-in indicating travel to/from or via the USA, US Territories, Tahiti, South America or Canada.
