    for those na may existing booking sa jetstar, ask ko lang how much yung 40kg na baggage if i-add ko sya after booking? medyo mabigat kasi if isasama ko na ngayon yung baggage. sabi kasi sa jetstar 'Adding checked baggage after booking costs a lot more.' 4900 kasi yung 40kgs pag isasabay sa booking. how much pag mag-add lang ng baggage sa exisiting booking? thanks!

    @mgt21: pwede din naman un iadd mo na lang sa booking mo yun baggage allowance later on which madalas kong ginagawa pag nagsale ang Jetstar pag umuuwi kami sa Pinas though mas makakamura ka pag sinama mo na sa booking. :) merong mga sale fare ang jetstar. yung tinitingnan ko now nasa 990SGD for three persons for 120kg allowance (40kg each for 70SGD). Jetstar ang first choice namin kasi mura sya and maganda naman mga experiences namin pauwing Pinas so I'm assuming maganda din yun bound to OZ.
