Naku, nung chineck ko kagabi meron pang mga 3 seats available for the P4999 promo flights on December 2016, ngayon ubos na hahaha. Dapat talaga mabilis pag mga ganyang promo ano? Medyo undecided parin ako sa airline eh. And sa July 2016 rin kasi yung IED ko. Feeling ko sa PAL ako kukuha kasi MNL to BNE ang target flight ko.
Anyway, thank you again sa heads up! Sana merong mga taga-PinoyAU na naka-take advantage nung promo.

First time ako magffly to AU but I'll be coming from HK. Tanong ko lang kung meron na naka-experience flying with Jetstar? Iniisip ko kasi kung Jetstar or mag Qantas nalang eh. Kung hindi naman maganda service ng Jetstar, baka magQantas nalang ako?
Thanks!
