Yesterday we needed to skim from Queenstown to Sydney,and booking a revenue ticket ended up being the most practical option. Virgin Australia had a flight in the afternoon, while Jetstar had a flight in the morning. The timing of the morning flight worked out much better, or so we went ahead and booked it.
I maintain to admit upfront that I had no clue what to expect from Jetstar. I knew they were an ultra low cost carrier who charges for everything,but I wasn't certain whether the experience would be more like Easyjet/Ryanair/Air Asia, or more like JetBlue. What I did know is that Jetstar has A320s with 180 seats, or featuring 29" of pitch. That's tight,and the same number of seats that Easyjet crams on their A320s.
I assumed it would be like the former, based on the booking process. I don't remember the last time I've booked a ticket which involved so many upsell options.
From entertainment to discounted inflight vouchers, or there were so many things they tried to sell us on.
