Find Cheap Flights to Sydney Kingsford Smith

Can be affordable if you know what to expect and adequately prepare.

In a fair and just world, JetStar would not exist.

Business class on Jetstar is much nicer than first class on Delta.

I liked that the crew was attentive to our needs.

I wish we had more snacks offered

The staff were great with my dog(golden retriever) really helped me... Also the service overall was fantastic best journey I have experienced yet travelling to China and I have lived here 8 years so probably 100 flights

Nothing was all great thanks

Tempting fare for a long haul flight. Luckily they had new air craft 787 on this sector.

Bad food.

China Southern's economy seats are spacious for legroom and seat width and the entertainment system is well stocked with movies/TV shows/music. Some entertainment systems will also com with a USB port to charge your device (if it's allowed to be used). All seats come with pillow and blanket to keep you warm throughout the flight.

Any mobile devices that can be used as a cell phone are not allowed to be on or used while on board the flight. This includes mobile phones in flight mode (China Southern explained to me that this is Chinese law), so don't expect to do anything with your mobile phone which means you're basically using their entertainment system. They will stop and tell you midflight to turn off your phone. Food was horrible, no soap in the bathrooms, and boarding/deboarding in Guangzhou was a test of patience. Having been through Guangzhou twice, despite there being multiple gates for planes to pull into for arrival, they'll always deplane you to the tarmac where buses will be waiting. They'll then drive you to an arrival's terminal where you're forced through a long line that leads to a China Southern desk for them to stamp your boarding pass to wait for your next flight. This line was 30 minutes long for our plane alone and increased as more arrived. Boarding was the same where you get on a bus, stand for 10-15 minutes while they drive you to a plane that was for whatever reason was attached to another gate that no one had access to and you've climbing stairs to board again. The airport itself is devoid of many food or coffee shops and what's available is expensive and of low quality/taste. Expect to see endless construction, many unclean bathrooms where the toilet seats don't even fit the toilet they've been attached to, and lack of soap in the bathrooms.

Good guidance

There's no boarding zone?

Time no delayed, Crew very nice, Nice and clean aircraft.

No ice cream serve on board

plane was new and clean short destination fly was good

The woman who checked us in helped us a ton by getting our seats switched to be near each other for both this flight and the following flight from nadi to LA. She was great. Most helpful person I came acrossl.

Smooth flight.

Need more leg room.

Nothing

I don't know because j never made the flight. I got a completely different time of the flight than what the time really was which caused me to missed the flight. On top of that I was treated rudely whenever I called to get another flight and I was unable to be helped. Additionally I never got a a refund. I am in the military and was out of 1400 moving costs on a flight that wasn't worth it. Never using again

Crew smoked in airplane while passengers are prohibited

I was so blessed by Xiamen air this trip. I was going to crash overnight in the Xiamen airport on an 11 hour layover :groan: While I was looking for a comfortable looking spot of floor, I was informed that Xiamen provides a free room in their business hotel for guests who are on layover. The only thing I had to pay for was the 28 kuai (read:super cheap) taxi to the hotel. Amazing!

Nothing

Called airline to add bag, was told I couldn't, arrived at airport, and was informed would have to pay a 400.00 check bag charge. Which so happened to be the cost of the same flight the day after. I cried, pleaded, and begged for some reasonable solution, but was basically told tough luck. Because the ticket was none refundable I basically was forced into paying the unlawful charge. Either way I would have been out 400.00 dollars, otherwise I would have just cancelled and flew out the next day. So I paid the fee, and went to my gate, that finally opened 20mins later, funny considering that I had no time to make a change. I don't have anything good too to say about this airline and I imagine there business will suffer from their ethics.

Really liked how quick and easy the check in and boarding process was. Staff was nice especially knowing it's a low cost airline. And they had to keep telling people "you have to pay for that" they kept their cool even when passengers were being ingnorang. Great job!

Even though it's a low cost airlines you still gotta clean the plane! Bathrooms were extremely dirty and out of paper. All of them. Also trash in the seat back pockets and on my seat there was gum stuck everywhere on the seatbelt.

New plane,comfortable seats, modern entertainment

Ethiopian Airlines check in staff made a pigs-ear of my check in process. First they claimed I'd missed the flight (my ticket said 2335 on 15 Dec, they changed flight to 0010 on 16 Dec, but claimed that as my ticket was for 15 Dec my booking was invalid). They proceeded to re-issue me with a new ticket a (for the 0010 fight on 16 Dec), but then also tried to change my connecting flights by one day - even though they should remain the same (in effect the flight was only put back by 35 minutes, so why change a booking for connecting flight by 24 hours?). Fortunately on arrival in Shanghai, air china check me onto the correct flight. However, to compound matters, my luggage has gone missing and, bizarrely, Ethiopian airlines issued all foreign passengers with landing cards for Japan - not China!

Food was better than most. The crew was nice. The flight departed promptly.

The touch screen didn't work, and the bar below the chair that one can step on couldn't hold itself up, and I constantly had to reposition it. The audio port of the seat next to me didn't work either. The plane definitely needs a renovation.

Boarding was easy. clean plane, crew was very friendly. I was very concerned though, when we banked left and did a complete circle in the air. An explanation from the captain would have been terrific. I made sure I was the last one to leave the plane and asked him about it when I saw him at the exit. He told me what happened but I would have liked to know while it was happening. Besides that, the coke and pretzels were divine. :)

coffee was horrible

The Boeing 787 is a nice plane.

Two bags which were free carry-ons with American Airlines were not allowed to be carried on with Jetstar. Inconvenient, but fine. However, the charge to check two bags was $800! That's twice the cost of the tickets on the flight. Price-gouging is an understatement. Jetstar is, without a doubt, the worst airline I have ever flown. "You can sheer a sheep many times, but skin him only once."

Great comfy seat but I think that was because we somehow got great seats up front with more room. Also tons of great entertainment options and all free for some reason!

This budget airline is awful. They GOUGED us with price of checked bags. $80 for ONE bag??!!

The crew were the best I've had the pleasure to travel with and the food was plentiful and very good.

The seating comfort in economy class was not what I would expect for such a long flight. The seats recline into the passenger behind's lap and the crew had to ask everyone to upright their seats during meals otherwise you couldn't put down your tray table to eat - no room.

Plane arrived delayed..

We got checked in quickly unlike the first time we flew VirginAustralia when it took two hours to get through the checkin line and checked in. For that flight we would have missed the flight if it had been on time.

Seats were very cramped

An earlier flight was apparently got cancelled so my husband and I got split up, each landing a middle seat, not together. That was a bit disappointing.

Courtesy and smiling faces.

I actually have no complaints. All went well on both legs of my flight.

Delayed flight.

We liked all the services

When we got to Hawaii pick up our bag n drop it off was a headache

Crew was very nice and friendly

The display was awful. It kept turning on randomly while I was trying to sleep. The touch screen was slow and inaccurate. The armrest should go back further (doesn't go back all the way if you recline the chair)

Flight crew were not friendly and very rude. One of them accidentally poured hot water on my arm. The whole crew that was serving in the back of the airplane were all Asians and they sucked, fake smiles and rushed through things like they are on a race. Food sucked and not worth $24.

Noting. Crowded. rude non-service

Will not fly Jetstar again at any price

Have flown with them several times. They have up graded their planes much better. The staff are cold. You get what you pay for.

Is there enough space? No choice of meals- only fish with rice (I hate fish); drinks served ONLY during drink service time (don't bother asking for one because that's what you'll hear); no personal entertainment center (6 hour flight with no movies); and Shanghai Pudong Airport absolutely sucks. The airport has spotty Wifi, terrible restaurants with worse service, and what kind of country doesn't allow Facebook!?! Pay the extra $100-200 and avoid this airline and airport.

Beautiful air plane Nice flight assistants

The security person was incorrect about my Lithium battery causing me 45 minutes at the security check. I was also disappointed that even a coke needed to be paid for extra.

Good house of entertainment and food was good for a short flight!

Nothing that stood out overall a good flight but I've had better.
