    May bad experience ako sa Jetstar - I booked online as early as 7 January from Darwin to Manila (direct flight) for our 29 March flight para di na kami mag-overnight sa Darwin but after two weeks, tinawgan ako at sabi cancelled daw ang flight namin, so I have to re-book my flight from Darwin-SG-Manila at may waiting time sa SG na 5 hours. Other than that, the next available flight will be the next day upon arriving in Darwin. So bukod sa nasayang na araw namin dapat sa Pinas e gumastos pa kami for our hotel. I filed a complaint sa website nila at nagpadala pa ako ng letter pero wala ring nangyari.
    Yeah, this is a common occurence to budget airline and not just Jetstar - kapag legacy airline ito, bibigyan ka ng compensate for the trouble eh...

    if u guys are taking qantas & think that u will have extra piece of baggage to accommodate all ur belongings, u can avail the addtional baggage offered for $90/piece at 23 kilos. just go to the site "manage your booking" & u can see the said offer.

    i think for 23 kilos at $90 is pretty good.

    meron ba dito manggagaling ng SG? nakabook ako sa Scoot ng one-way tickets for 2 adults to Sydney for 1.1KSGD. included na dyan ang upgrade para meron food, 40kg baggage allowance each and upgraded seats (more legroom) as well. good deal na din pero kinakabahan lang ako kasi first time ako mag-Scoot. sana okay. hehe

    @hotshot - scoot should be okey... bagong LCC sya so pa impress mode muna sila. and besides, marketed ito as a company under SQ so with that extra careful cguro sila na alagaan ang SQ brand...

    my 2cents but keep your expectation tempered kasi naman LCC ito diba? :)

    @LokiJr after finishing off my 1st addt'l baggage allowance, heto na. i need my 2nd. kasi i am also bringing my son's belongings. kung pwede ko siguro ikahon ang buong bahay, malapit na. lols! actually, di ko na alam ano ang sapat knowing napaka mahal ng clothes & shoes sa AU. tsk! gastos at nakakapagod. but, this is still a blessing.

    ang pagod naipapahinga pero ang biyaya dapat huwag palampasin, bagkus ito ay dapat sinasalo at tinatamasa. di ba, kenkoy? hahah! sorry kinakausap ko sarili ko para maibsan ang pagod ko. cheeeers!

    @hotshot P26,957.20 then pay airport fee P550. ang maganda kasi sa qantas 23+23+7+3 ang luggages weight.

    @LokiJr ok na rin siguro para isang byahe na lang. imagine i have 3 boxes (unlmited weight) shipped already thru BM express. and then via qantas 4 baggage * 23 kilos. hindi pa buong bahay yan. lols!

    guys, hay naku! i wanted to avail online my 2nd additional baggage allowance for $90 at qantas. i can't avail it anymore for the said fee. i was advised to avail it at the airport for $120. meaning u can do it only once. sayang ang $30 additional to the fee. wahhh!
