My friend booked a return flight Syd-Darwin-Manila-Darwin-Sydney for only $447.
This is phenomenal price, even beating my November Jetstar rate by around $10.
I so wish I could go.

No, Jetstar does not provide them as part of the deal, but you can pay offensively high prices to get them or drinks.
However - if your saving around $500 over PAL or Qantas, I'm happy to wait for Darwin each way :-)

@Manila_sunset_store : k_mavs was asking for feedback on Jetstar, as he saw in their websites that fares are fairly cheap. yup you're right on k_mavs' 2nd question, he was asking whether meals are in

Cheapest was QANTAS at $890 return, although would rather have gone on PAL for an extra $50. Strange thing is that PAL won't let you book same day, where as QANTAS will.
The ironic thing is that Jetstar was far more expensive than both on the days he needed.
Pays to shop around thats for sure.

Kumusta pala yung flight shedule ng Jetstar? on time ba sila or palaging delayed from Manila?

@apc, jetstar carries the Qantas brand (in a way) so hindi yan basta basta nadedelay....pero dahil palpak yung airports natin, lahat ng eroplano (saan mang bansa siya galing) nadedelay pag galing Pinas hehehe
