Find Cheap Flights from Melbourne to United States

Pros: I liked the efficiency of the boarding, take off and landing.

Cons: I didn't like that water wasn't complimentary, let alone coffee, tea or snacks. The flight was very cold.

Pros: The crew was really nice.

Cons: All snacks & drinks cost extra on Jetstar.

Pros: The crew was polite.

Cons: Food: all food cost. Coffee/tea was four dollars. We pre-ordered our food and it was not available. They substituted our food with a large “cup of noodles“ which was terrible. Very surprised that all food cost. Too many unexpected fees. I’m uncomfortable plane! Way too crowded! Was charged and unexpected fee for a visa. Jetstar charged $50 per person! Flight was 9 1/2 hours late!

Pros: The plane got me to my destinations

Cons: Although I was asked if I wanted to purchase a meal upon booking, it wasn't clear that everything onboard (including water) was for purchase. Beverage service was also confusing because some flight attendants gave glasses of water for free after meal/beverage service while some did not. I'll just bring everything I need to eat or drink if I don't purchase it in advance.

Pros: The crew was great but the seats were not.

Cons: Roomier seats and meals should be served a little bit closer in between

Pros: The seat was super uncomfortable and they switched out flights 3 times so the layovers were extremely long.

Cons: Not switching our flights three times and not accommodating us like we had originally paid for.

Pros: I cannot say enough good things especially about the Air New Zealand staff on this flight, they were truly amazing, went above and beyond to help me and others. They were personable & caring! The seat was comfortable and the dinner was the best tasting airline food I have eaten in years. Happy!

Cons: I’m really not sure.

Cons: The boarding was inconvenient. LAX has just been updated. Gerri g a bus out to the tarmac is something I expect in Africa. Can Air NZ move to a different terminal?

Cons: Food

Pros: Neat in flight entertainment app that lets you watch, read, listen while you fly, right on your own device. Very nice touch.

Cons: The check in process. No one got there right when the airport opened at 0400 and they took their time getting the check in counters clean and ready for the day, having us all stand in line waiting to be checked in.

Pros: The boarding process, on board entertainment, and the flight condition were good.

Cons: I ordered Muslim meal for myself and Asian vegetarian meals for my daughter. While going to Australia they provided Asian vegetarian meals for my daughter and said they forgot to get the Muslim meal. The air hostess said she will look into this so that it would not repeat. During my return from Australia they did not provide Asian vegetarian for my daughter and no Muslim meal for me. And the air host said they would look into this and see that it does not happen during my return. I said this is the return trip. They provided some vegetarian food that not good. And during the return there was no vegetarian choices for the breakfast. The air host didn't even bother to ask my daughter about the food. Very sad.

Pros: The crew was great.

Cons: Boarding was a little disorganised, the distance between seats is too small, and the food could’ve been better.

Pros: Pillow and blanket provided!

Cons: Flight attendants spoke very loudly during times when most passengers were sleeping, waking everyone around. A personal water bottle would have been nice.

Cons: Slow.

Pros: Friendly efficient crew. Clean modern Airbus aircraft and no delays.

Cons: Food was limited and not great.

Pros: I have been traveling at least 4 times in a year for last 20 years. I never had such a worst staff specially the Msnager of Fiji airline ground staff at Sydney airport named Christopher. Such a rude ignorant person. The amount of luggage including baby stroller I traveled from Los Angeles to Nadi. Nadi to Sydney was perfectly fine. When I checkin from Sydney to los angles, the Fiji manager said you have to pay for stroller. I said I came all the way from Los Angeles to Sydney like that and I even showed the tags too, Christopher said Sydney has different policy. I left the stroller to him and Saud to him keep it for your kids and came back home without baby stroller.

Cons: Worst Fiji ground staff at Sydney airport

Pros: Ground staff and flight attendants service

Cons: Install seatback IFE or at least provide WiFi to access streaming content/movies/music/e-zines

Pros: More organized boarding via buses

Cons: flight was delayed by 1hr 13mins.

Pros: It was a very good flight and on time. The food was very authentic and tasty!

Cons: The airport need to expand the number of runways. Always late leaving or arriving because they can't handle the traffic and especially in bad weather.

Pros: Crew attitude

Cons: Onboard WiFi with streaming IFE service or install seatback IFE systems. On-time departure.

Pros: Comfortable seats, good seat assignment

Pros: Crew Food Seats

Cons: More fruits & Hawaiian chocolates

Cons: It was perfect

Pros: The crew was fantastic.

Cons: Entertainment is out of date and difficult to use.

Cons: Be on time. 3 hours delay

Pros: Great staff and entertainment.

Cons: Boarding took forever. Flight was almost 1 hr behind.

Pros: The plane was brand new, and the seats were very comfortable. They served food often, and the movie selection was perfect. Overall it was a good trip.

Cons: They would not serve more than one alcohol drink at a time, so I had to get up often.

Pros: crew was very nice and helpful

Cons: seats are somewhat uncomfortable.

Pros: New plane

Cons: Everything else

Pros: Tickets at good price.

Cons: I paid for the seats (thru justfly), but no seat for the second leg of our return trip were reserved for us. I also wanted to change seats (online, few days before the flight) but couldn’t. I asked China Eastern staff members at the airport and no one was willing/able to resolve my complaint.

Cons: Allow the passenger to watch the video and listen the audio as long as the entertainment system is on. I was asked to take the ear piece out before landing so I couldn’t hear the audio of the end of the movie.

Cons: Long wait at ticket counter before allowed to check-in, should allow check-in more than 2 hours before flight time. Also, boarding was late.

Cons: My 2 checked suitcases had tsa locks, both of which were taken off and not returned and I have a couple items missing. Not much you can do about it but very frustrating.

Cons: Flight cancelled

Cons: cost of going over baggage weight was extremely high

Cons: Seats were not the most comfortable. Entertain system could have had more stuff. Food just mediocre.

Pros: Plane is new

Cons: 1 hour check in line, $160 baggage fee for checking 1 bag!?! You don't get food unless you prepaid on line or are willing to pay, otherwise they ignore you, entertainments cost 10 bucks with limited options. Love Qantas, hate Jetstar

Cons: One of my luggage did not make it

Pros: Comfortable seat.

Cons: It's about time Air China improved its food. China Eastern, China Southern, Hainan Air, Xiamen Air, etc., are much better.

Pros: Kind staff

Cons: Same meal three times in a row. Plane had to turn around 4 hours into the flight. I would like a refund.

Pros: very friendly, courteous staff comfortable seat

Cons: check-in process was confusing

Cons: Not having someone farting the whole time in the plane.

Pros: Nothing, was not booked on flight I "purchased", kayak search redirects to scam website

Cons: Justfly.com is a scam website, don't use them!

Cons: Hidden fees for baggage are exceptionally high and are structured to take advantage of first-time users who are not aware of Jetstar's baggage policies. They burned my wife and I for $695 on checked bag fees on our golf clubs. This after they were "nice enough" to round the weight down a bit. Even in $AUS, that is a nasty surprise at the airport. The only way I would fly Jetstar again is for a short-haul, no-checked-baggage flight.

Pros: I liked the efficiency of the boarding, take off and landing.

Cons: I didn't like that water wasn't complimentary, let alone coffee, tea or snacks. The flight was very cold.

Pros: You pay for everything extra (like most budget airlines), but the entertainment package well worth it, and Sumo salads/toasties on the menu very tasty. People who complain about luggage restrictions should be aware international travel is much more strict, and will not "look the other way" as American airlines do. Do your research, people!

Cons: Not notified about US requirements to fill out back of ticket, so got pulled aside at the gate to do it. Passengers included large group of obnoxious children who ran up and down aisles, chattered loudly, and disturbed other passengers. Adults who were traveling with them did nothing (if you see a group with huge bows in their hair, avoid at all costs), so flight attendants should be better about enforcing rules and keeping order.

Cons: Our departure was 30 minutes late.

Pros: My son and I had previously taken Jetstar from Bangkok to Melbourne (out of desperation; our Thai visa was expiring), so we already knew about a) no complementary food or beverages (you get one glass of water if you ask, then are pointed to the back of the plane and the tap) b) having to pay to watch movies c) no email confirmation of flight d) uncomfortable seats What we did not know but learned on our next JetStar flight (Melbourne to Honolulu), a week later: -again, no email confirmation, and as we were out of continent, we had no personal cellphone usage so no text to tell us the flight would be leaving 3.5 hours late (other customers were getting conflicting texts) .. -we were charged a criminal $160\each extra for our backpacks at checkout!! They said it was weight, and that our packs were too large for carry-on. (Frankly, upon reading all the other comments here, I am beginning to think this is a scam, and they need to be called on it.) As we paid an extra $320, plus the airline was late, I asked if we might at least get a $10 meal voucher. Answer? No. The airline has to be 4 hours late. -asked for a pillow and blanket for the approximately 10-hr night flight. Answer: "No pillows, and you had to book a blanket in advance." I am outraged.

Pros: Allowed us to sit with bassinet for our three month old baby. Flight was very smooth and staff were friendly. Make sure to order meal ahead of time as that's what we did and that way you get served first.

Cons: Meals are expensive for what you get.

Cons: It was the shortest flight of my itinerary. My last flight home. We sat on the plane for nearly 45 minutes before take off and it was late getting home. Totally ridiculous. Every flight in and out of Eugene is ridiculous like that

Pros: The crew was fantastic. They were incredibly polite and accommodating. This was my first time flying for more than three hours (15 hours from Houston to Auckland) and it really could not have gone much better.

Cons: Always need a little more legroom in economy but it's a small sacrifice for getting an affordable flight.

Pros: Strong crew service is the highlight of flying Air New Zealand. Plane comfort is good, with nice ambient lighting, decent seats and reasonably spacious toilets. At least for now, they have in-seat entertainment screens with lots of current offerings. Our flight had free wi-fi, a real plus.

Cons: Boarding with Air New Zealand at Heathrow was complex and poorly organised when compared to the smooth and efficient process at LAX. This has been the case each time I have flown this same route with this airline.

Pros: Upgrading to Skycoach giving extra leg room was well worth it.

Cons: Seats were not the most comfortable. Entertain system could have had more stuff. Food just mediocre.

Pros: speedy boarding

Cons: had to connect in Melbourne but had to check-in twice, didn't get the seat I chose online, and the flight was delayed

Pros: Plane was amazing but more room between rows would be so appreciated. We didn't pre-select our meals going to Australia and that was a huge mistake as not much remained to choose from. Won't do that again.

Cons: The crew brought me the wrong wine and appeared annoyed when I noted this. She never did return with the correct wine which I had already paid for--I had to ask another crew member.

Cons: Not having someone farting the whole time in the plane.

Cons: Boarding a bit chaotic

Pros: Helpful crew, good food, professional

Cons: FREEZING COLD cabin air temperature, as other reviewers have noted. Despite otherwise comfortable conditions to sleep, this made it impossible to get a good night's sleep.

Pros: The crew was nice.

Cons: Audio for in flight entertainment did not work midway through the movie. Video was unclear. Food was terrible.

Pros: Very friendly crew...

Cons: Seats uncomfortable....oh well!

Cons: No in flight entertainment. No seat charging. It would have been nice to know this a head of time so we could have prepared (tracing with 3 kids). Right before we took off crew told everyone to down load virgin app, they didn’t specify the entertainment app. So we were not able to watch any movies.

Pros: Crew were amazing, food was delicious

Cons: Boarding was delayed with no explanation, we sat once boarded waiting to take off not knowing what the further delay was, ended up arriving and clearing customs an hour behind schedule. This is becoming more common with my flights with Virgin Australia.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: I was unable to check in online and arrived in Melbourne 3 hours in advance of my flight. I had to stand in line for over an hour just to check in for my flight. It was a complete mess at the check in desk. There were several issues with other passengers that caused two gate agents to be tied up for upper 30 minutes. Rather than taking them to customer service they continued to block the line. Then with Economy gates being down to only 3 (with my guess at over 100 people waiting to check in) one of the agents used the economy line to service business class pasangers, when there were already 3 agents serving the business class patrons. While I understand business entitles you to special priorities but to have your economy passengers (who are all paying over $1500 a ticket) to have to wait so long for business passages to all walk straight get up can waiting 5 minutes felt very wrong and made many people upset. My family was waiting to see me off and subsequently got charges $30 in parking due to the delay in check in. Also communication at the gate was very poor. Flight was delayed several times due to wind and no announcement came from ground staff, only way I knew was due to an email. I could tell a lot of guests were very distressed. Very disappointed from a company that prides itself on service.

Pros: liked the seats they were big an comfy

Cons: food is NON-EDIBLE

Pros: not any games to play on the behind seat screen, it helps to pass the time...

Cons: The food was just ok,,,,could have been better..

Pros: CREWS WERE FRIENDLY/FOOD WAS GOOD

Cons: food, comfort

Pros: I liked the efficiency of the boarding, take off and landing.

Cons: I didn't like that water wasn't complimentary, let alone coffee, tea or snacks. The flight was very cold.

Pros: Make sure to ask for airport vouchers if your flight is cancelled or delayed a long time. That's about all they can do.

Cons: 3 Jetstar flights cancelled in 3 days!! Never flying with them again.

Cons: Flight was delayed 5 hours, then 6 1/2 hours, then 7 hours... And they handed out $15 food vouchers that could only be used at the airport, not on the flight.

Cons: Change in Jetstarflight times messed up our other connections and we had to stay in Melbourne 2 extra days (at our own expense) to avoid the a 12 hour layover in Sydney on the "next available flight" that was offered instead. Seats were very uncomfortable (especially the headrest), too close together, and mine didn't recline. There was a lot of turbulance, unlike any I had ever been in before. The plane seemed to be shifting left and right instead of up and down. The temperature varied from too hot to too cold.

Cons: Had the weather in Wellington cooperated, I would have made it to the AKL-SYD leg and, most likely, would have enjoyed the travel experience. I plan to fly WLG-AKL tomorrow evening via another airline. Please rebook me onto Qantas tomorrow in evening.

Pros: Crew were very friendly, very comfortable flight and quick boarding/ off boarding

Cons: Having my luggage come with me! I have to wait more than a day to get it back

Pros: Super smooth flight, flight attendants were incredibly friendly and hospitable

Pros: Nice crew, surprisingly fresh food.
