Jetstar: A Review

One is not known for all things budget, although one is known for one's love of a bargain and in this case one simply could not pass on the $230 saving one could make (and therefore spend on clothes in Singapore) by flying Jetstar to Singapore. Indeed add to the $230 a preferable schedule and one's mind was made up. The SO took some convincing to re-board Jetstar after a trip to Hamilton Island last April when one was seated in row 1 while the SO was seated in row 27 between the screaming single mothers and their screaming children.

However, one had one's way and off to Jetstar we were. The flight was about 2 hours late leaving Perth, but luckily, one was holed up in the Qantas Club sipping on a G&T, then some bubbles and then a Baileys in an attempt to fight off the zzzzzzz's. Eventually we boarded and one swiftly fell to sleep somewhere areound 2am, waking only to have a glass of water shortly before landing in Sinapore at 7am.

Key take-away: when flying overnight, fly budget (well fly the budget brother of a Legacy airline such as Qantas). No service means no one waking you up mid flight to ask if you want the fish or the chicken.
