Starclass does include meals, but just the same meals as the other passengers are able to pre-order or buy on board. It includes the same limited supply of beverages as can be pre-ordered of purchased on board. I certainly expect it will make the JQ experience quite ok and provides an option for those willing to pay a little more for a better seat, which is what most carrier's premium economy products are about. The fact that it will pay QF Business Class status credits for QF FF members is a real bonus.

Re: JETSTAR starclass
i have been reading the threads to do with starclass seating, and they all date back to 07. i am looking at flying Melbourne Australia to Honolulu in star class, so I wanted to find out how these seats compare to QF business with respect to reclining and leg room. Has anyone travelled in starclass and QF business to be able to compare?
Thanks MK

Re: JETSTAR starclass
The seats have not changed in style since Star Class was introduced, so the information is still relevant.
The Star Class seats are basically the same as Qantas uses for domestic business class services on their 737-800, 767-300 (domestic config) and A330-200 (domestic config), with the main difference being they are leather covered as opposed to the cloth covers used on Qantas domestic Millennium seats. The pitch and recline is the same. The Millennium seat is used by Qantas for trans-Tasman international services on 767-300 aircraft in 2x2x2 config. Its hard to compare with the generic "QF business" since Qantas use several different seat type business class services. They have the Millennium seats on domestic and trans-Tasman flights (exactly the same as JetStar Star Class by cloth for QF, leather for JQ). QF has Dreamtime cradle seats on 767-300 international flights, which have more pitch and more recline than Millennium seats. They have Skybed Mk 1 on international config A330 and 744 aircraft, which lie flat but not horizontal. They have Skybed Mk II on A380 flights, which lie flat and horizontal.

Re: JETSTAR starclass
Mum and I were fortunate enough to have 2 weeks in Hawaii last year (again!). We flew Jetstar economy on the way over and paid at check in to upgrade on the way home.
We found both classes to be fantastic. The crew in Star Class kept my glass topped up It was better than domestic business and if you can afford it go for it. Next trip we're booking Starclass. But if we had to would still go economy. Karen |
