Actually in Indian subcontinent countries , annoying behaviour is seen as pretty normal culturally. People don't seek personal space that much and very few even understand the concept as it is not practiced at all.
Tiger airways was actually grounded in Australia, so Jetstar cannot be considered to be as bad, apparently some tiger pilot's nearly took out the rear runway landing lights
I’m Aussie and I have never been to Bali because of the bogans. You are a brave man.
Add me to the list. If you don't notice Bogans there is probably a good reason. ;)
@Gary Johnston Irony, sort of primary school argument. Only you don't seem to recognise bogans. As for me, I don't go on holidays to Bali wearing thongs,tattoos and singlets. I don't get drunk and shout and carry on. I am well educated, an out of practice classical musician, I speak five languages, albeit most badly. Do I sound like a mullet-sporting, beer-swilling, western-suburb living bogan to you?
I grew up in bali and i'm indonesian, and i can say that the bogans are pretty easy to avoid (honestly i find the chinese tourists to be more obnoxious). Just don't go to the tourist/expat hotspots and try to befriend the locals and most people in Bali can speak English at conversational level, so communication isn't a huge problem either, it really depends on what you're looking for.
sometimes it makes you wonder who the real locals are cuz bogans can be rlly agressive towards the locals like they own the place, one randomly yelled at me while i was walking my dog in a nearby park even when neither me or my dog did anything wrong, honestly its one of many reasons i hate visiting my hometown of Kuta 🙄
@@jjaus I went to Bali twice and there were bogans alright. And even worse are drunken Australian football teams on end of season trips. Not normally bogans, but with too many drinks certainly qualify for the name.
Jetstar primarily use Asian based cabin crews for their international routes, including Hawaii flights, as it’s cheaper than hiring Australians. Having said that, you’ll often find at least 1 Australian on the crew too.
The flight deck is crewed by Australians, as the pilots union have a rule that requires Australian registered aircraft to have Australian pilots.
So meaning you need a australian passport/citizenship?
@@Autoblox0 yes.
Lots of Australians are Asian, especially in the major cities so I don't know if that also contributes? I've never flown Jetstar but that could be the case.
@@themoon7435 nah, they make it known to passengers on many flights that the crews are from SE Asia. I’ve been on flights where they specifically tell you that they have crew onboard from places like Vietnam, even though the flight was between Australia and Hawaii!
@@themoon7435 i dont think anyone cares aslong as its an australian citizen asian, asians from asian nations are known to have lower standards of education.
Thank you Josh for this great review and for letting us ride along! It appears their service has improved considerably, I may have to give them another try out ahead when over that way! Thanks again and all the best from the west coast of Florida USA!!!
It's the BINTANG Express.
Hello Sir!
Jetstar was my first ever plane I hopped in because of its cheap fare but it’s all worth it. Landing was so smooth! Kudos to the Pilot and the crew for a job well done! 👏🏻💕
Thanks as always Josh for a great flight and yes it appears they have lifted their game. I keep reading reports about cancelled flights...weighing hand luggage...rude crew and dreadful check in staff...not on this flight by the look of things!! Well done as always mate and I look forward to your next adventure !! Thanks again !!
Your reviews are awesome man! Keep up the great work!
Great review, Josh. Good to see what the flight was like as I’ll not be experiencing it first hand. Bali is not on my bucket list. Really appreciate the low cost options if on a budget.
Good to see a low cost carrier with IFE! Hope this trend continues among all LCC’s! ☺️
Coddiwompling Miguel hyknnyjmnnnhk uk Jim is a great place up
it’s still owned by Qantas
I'm an Australian and there are two things I avoid when I travel. 1. Jetstar. 2. Australians. Bogan describes a certain type of Australian who would consider going to Bali. It's also an offensive and totally unnecessary word in Canada.
And why an Australian going bali is offensive or looked badly ?
Probably voted Labour
I totally agree when you say budget airline done right! I'm from Canada and I travel regularly to Australia. While I always fly Air Canada to cross over the pacific, I always fly JetStar domestically. Great prices, great staff, great aircraft and product. You can't go wrong!
Marc Pearce flight cancellations, that’s where it could go wrong, don’t wanna ever fly on it again lol. Qantas is the besy
Oh yes you can man. Jetstar is a total crap shoot at the moment! Flights being delayed & cancelled by the hat full.
I won't lie I wasn't impressed by the cabin crew on the Jetstar flight I took, but the flight itself was good.
Air Canada is horrible. State run airline. Rude old French gals throwing horrible food at the animals - like treatment
I’m also from canada and try to avoid air canada at all costs, west jet is so much better. When you get to the airport and see you’re on a air canada rouge flight it’s a long day
Bogan express, love that nickname! I dont mind jetstar domestically here in Australia and have been tempted to book them internationally but have been put off by their regular cancellations.
It's actually the Bintang Express.
@@ThatPerthFan : Love both "Bogan Express" and Bintang Express👍
The most unreliable Airline in Oz. I wouldn't even trust them domestically, let alone to get me home from Overseas. The cost of a few extra nights because of cancelled flights or delays is absolutely not worth the risk and you may as well take a more reliable carrier.
@@brilliantbutblue tiger were a little less trust worthy
I am flying JQ38 today from Bali to Sydney. I am using Jetstar credit as Jetstar cancelled my 2020 flight due to the pandemic. This flight is known as the Bintang Express though no Bintang Beer is served on this flight. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a nicer plane than the Boeing 737s that Qantas uses on the same route.
Being from the UK never heard of the term “Bogan” so looked it up. I think in the UK it would be known as a chav. A loud uncouth person. I personally wouldn’t like being on a flight with a majority going to Magaluf in Majorca. There again Majorca has some lovely places and quiet places to visit.
Majorca? Oh come one man.....please. Mallorca!
@@martin912 Well yes, but in most brochures in the U.K. it’s Majorca! Would you say Florence or Firenze? Rome or Roma. 🙋🏻♀️
Ok, then I'm sorry, I didn't know that. In German we call and write it Mallorca, which is the reason many people pronounce it the wrong way. For the italian cities, that's a bad example because we have specific german names for them for historic reasons. e.g. "Mailand" for "Milano" etc. It used to be one country a few centuries back.
Shagaluf.
Actually a bogan wouldn’t be so much a chav. The equivalent would be an eshay. Bogan is more like “country” white person.
Thx for this! I’ve never flown Jetstar before and you’ve put me at ease! 🙏🏽
I like your very honest and authentic reviews Josh. Low cost carrier in economy to first class on a premium carrier, your perspective remains consistent with the class and airline that you are flying. You compare ‘apples with apples’ so to speak. Can’t ask for more, keep it up mate! 😎👍
As an aussie I never planneD on flying jetstar, but thank you for giving australia's budget airline a try. It seemed alright, so I might contemplate them for a future flight.
I flew Jetstar domestically many times over the years and only ever experienced 2 cancellations. I never had any insurance but the staff were always lovely and one time having a flight cancelled in Cairns, I was given a hundred dollar voucher to use on my next flight and my hotel I had to book was reimbursed. The same happened once on the Sunshine Coast when a crew member suddenly became ill so they cancelled the flight so our hotel stay was reimbursed.
I flew the Dreamliner from Mel-Cns once (it went to Japan), and departed and arrived at the international terminals. Had seat 10A and loved it as it was the first time on a Dreamliner. As a budget airline, I’ve never had any dramas with them and I always paid the extra to sit in 1F if it was available.
I flew 787 with Jetstar to Tokyo Narita last week, it was a very comfortable flight, little to no turbulence and the 787 handles that very well. We arrived in Tokyo 1 hour ahead of schedule which is always a positive
But the question is? Did you get home or are you still at Narita Airport🤣
@@brilliantbutblue nah, I'm on the trains going around Japan
@@ozzyay9720: Have a fantastic trip and safe travels. Enjoy.🥡🍜
Jetstar really isn’t bad. Flew Brisbane to Bali return for 170 AUD on the 787. Pay in advance is key with them.
You never let me down, thanks for this video.
Jetstar is good domestically however I flew them international to Hawaii and ended up getting delayed for around 20hrs. It’s been 6 months since that flight and we are only just getting compensated. You should defiantly try Tigerair too cause they are kinda known in Australia as the Aussie version of Ryanair!
Is Tigerair still exists? I thought they are absorb by Scoot?
sohkenneth TigerAir Australia is now a LCC offshoot for Virgin Australia. Virgin Australia saw the success Qantas were having with Jetstar and wanted some of that for themselves, but it hasn’t really worked out as Jetstar is vastly superior to TigerAir.
Ryan....air...
Tiger air shut down like 3 years ago I am pretty sure I saw it on my last flight when I was
On qantas
@@jslasher1 Lol what happened?
Shame about the lack of window. Like you mentioned, I always check Seatguru (and still got screwed once lol)
I love flying the 787, still haven't done a trip report about it tho.
We almost always fly jetstar MNL-KIX and vice versa and thats like 3-4 hours and i dont have anything bad to say about them. Considering its price, its good.
True.Bogan Express is from Perth to Bali on Air Asia A320 for $90 ea way.
Try being on a 7 hour Emirates flight from Durban EK 776 where it's always full like crowded in Business! And you dont want to know about economy even in May its fill
Having done this many times, it can be brutal having had a nice relaxing Bali holiday followed by a 5 hour overnight flight into Sydney. You did well mate to get 3 hours sleep in that seat. Great video as always.
As an Australian Jetstar is great for short domestic flights in Australia such as Sydney to Melbourne, but not good for international flights. My recommendation is that it's often better to pay a little bit extra if you are travelling internationally and choose another airline.
Yes, I often use Jetstar going from Tassie to the mainland, and to MEL/SYD it is fine, but to BNE it is horrible and way too far for that. Better recommendation is to use QantasLink or Virgin Australia.
This must have been your trip when you met Luke!
As Jetstar being 1 out of the 2 airlines I’ve ever flown, and I’ve only ever flown 5 times, Jetstar is where I fit in the skies, but I want to fly for Emirates one day as a pilot
omg haha on the 2nd clip I went on one of the flights, batik flight ID-6007 leaving for Perth
Another great review - I do wonder what are the arrival airports like does baggage reclaim take ages like in the UK
The bogan express is usually the flights from Bali to Perth...
Bali - Melbourne is Bogan filled!
The Adelaide services must be the exception.It used to be Garuda that owned that Market for many years with a mix of a300,dc10 and a330's which were shared with Melbourne for direct services.
I very recently flew Jetstar from Denpasar to Singapore, flight was barely half full...I'd say the flight was not bad at all! 👍🏼
That is operated by Jetstar Asia, that's why.
@@paulsz6194 That's right, it was Jetstar Asia indeed. So, you mean, there is a significant quality difference between Jetstar and Jetstar Asia?
@@worldofvikram well, first of all, as far as I'm aware, Jetstar Asia do not fly B787's so you don't get the option of watching movies from your seat, and they dont have their premium (Business) cabin. Jetstar Asia is all one cabin class. Also, most passengers are Asian, so you don't get any rowdy Aussies.
Many JQ cabin crews who are in charge for flights from Bali to Australia are Indonesians. They are DPS-based cabin crew. I really want to apply for such position if JQ recruits new batch of DPS-based cabin crews - because actually I read somewhere that they had previously planned to recruit more DPS-based cabin crews in April 2020, but the Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted all. 😞
JQ does hire international cabin crews from several Asian countries ( e.g. from Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Japan, or Korea ) for their international flights
About the cabin crew. Most of Jetstars flight to Bali, Phuket and Singapore are operated by Indonesian & Thai crew.
Hope that helps you out!
Would love to see you review two budget airlines the next time you're in 🇨🇦 When it's safe to do so would love your feedback on both Flair & Swoop Airlines. Cheers Josh ✈️ 🙌
The 787s are crewed mostly by Thai (HKT base) and Japanese based crew, with an australian purser, Australian pilots.
Flights to Bali on Jetstar can be dirt cheap sometimes.... $139 AUD for Melbourne to Bali. That’s sometimes cheaper than Melbourne to Sydney
In 2019 I flew on the 787-8 from jetstar and it was really good
Get a JQ 787 now. Soon they with start returning them to their parent airline Qantas. (Replacing their older A330-200/300s) on both domestic and international routes. They have ordered the A321LR and in my option will order the better A321XLR get on one of these 787s now. I have flown about 15 times on these JQ 787s in both Economy and Business Class. Get on one, it’s a great experience for a LCC.
I've paid similar price for their Business class. They should have more.
Was it packed?
Hi Josh. I do not understand how you reached from New Papua Guinee in Bali. You do not put all flights in youtube, do you? I wish I could see daily your all flights. 😊
Thank you for the video. Personally, I pay extra cheerfully to avoid Jetstar! You are brave to try them! Have a great week!
Couldn't agree more 👍
Bogan express. I love that one. Lol :D
Thanks for the video 🤜🤛
Josh you have to swipe your card to get in flight entertainment in economy or if your in Business class you get it for free and jetstar don’t have wifi yet
Bali is a very popular destination for Australians - thanks to Jetstar and it’s low prices and high capacity
Nice video review
I have Flown on jetstar from Brisbane to Sydney
The long queues at the checkin desks are kinda annoying. Is it possible travelling with hand luggage and checkin online to avoid these nerving queues?
Nevertheless good review as always.
is that the most feared flight?? i have been on it 12 times, all great experiences
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a flight review of Air New Zealand
Flew to tokyo via cairns with jetstar and had no problems whatsoever :) cheap fare is cheap after all
Awesome ! Lots of love 💚 INDIA 🇮🇳
Absolutely correct!
Jetstar know how to do it right!!
As an Australian, yes, its true, we fkn love wine and cheese hahahaha. Especially alongside a BBQ.
Jetstar staff are from Australia and Singapore (Singapore staff mainly do the international flights as I believe they are paid less lol)
I have flown on this flight and it was amazing
I thought Denpasar to Melbourne was the bogan express. I guess they both are, having said that, I have flown Jetstar from Bali and found it quite acceptable with no bogan's to be seen. I have also flown from Osaka with Jetstar and it too was a good flight, sometimes it is just in the timing, I wouldn't want to be on board when a footy team is going away for their end of year trip.
I did Denpasar to Sydney on Qantas back in the days of the 747's and 767's on that service.I guess timing worked in my favor but the resort I stayed in was full of Australians and next to no other race,plus it was just after the schools had returned coming home and the schools were about a week from starting up again when I flew over.Only Adelaide passenger who connected both ways.it wasn't that bad(This was in 2000 when we also had Ansett and Garuda)
Have you ever flown on Cebu Pacific’s A330 on long haul? Another YT vlogger just posted his experience from Manila to Dubai.
Joshh ♥️♥️ Regards from Jakarta~~
Most of the crews on Jetstar's international flights are from Thailand base (BKK & HKT). Due to the cost of hiring and their strong service minds..
I’m Australian and I’ve found that, when flying from southeast Asian countries to Australia there have always been Australians that are incredibly loud, rude and disrespectful. I love my country but when people like that are around I feel embarrassed to be Australian. Apologies from Tasmania.
Ps love your honest vids Josh they are simply the best👌👌
I reckon ur assessment of the flight was pretty good, you kept it real and didn’t appear to have any unrealistic expectations.
I head to Bali usually twice each year and have flown with almost every airline that flies there...I resisted going there for the very same reason some others do...Boganville!!!...I would go anywhere but Bali...I couldn’t have been more wrong , sure they are there in droves in Kuta and Legian mostly, and they are totally cringe worthy. But to be honest I live near the Gold Coast where there are more bogans than almost anywhere except maybe the inner west in Sydney yep lived there!...or areas of Melbourne lived there as well....Let’s not overlook Earls Court in London...Aussie bogans are everywhere it just depends on what level of bogan you are..Do urself a favour n go. I went with three others Brisbane return for $1200 for the lot ....sure! J/star ain’t first class on Etihad but they get you there safely n it’s only five hrs ffs ...what you save can go to some pretty swanky lux accommodation and restaurants that would blow ur mind....and the people genuinely love Australians they are warm n hospitable and will befriend you instantly
Give the bogans a break ...they are just having a good time n hopefully the only ones they are harming are themselves...maybe there’s a bit of envy...who knows!
@@DevonRexLady I’m glad you said “mainly”….and you are absolutely right….used to live in Glebe n it’s full of hipster inner trendies ….and it’s sorta nice to see…but the bogans on many levels are still there…..I thought we were talking about JetStar and Bali….sorry if I offended, wasn’t my intention.
How long ago did you live in the Inner West? As long as I've lived here it's mostly hipsters. In my experience, the bogans are all down in Miranda and Cronulla etc
the worst flight i been on is a quantus flight from brisbane to cairns and it was on a e190 there was no food to offer only a small drink seats were more uncomfy than the same flight on a jetstar a320 and quite small seats as im almost 6'1
I have flown twice on the Jetstar 787 to Bali and in terms on the seating and the aircraft I would say it was good but as jetstar is a budget airline I would not fly on it to Honolulu as they don’t give out any food even though it’s a 10 hour flight
I have flown Jetstar many times and can not fault them, we have been looked after so well on every occasion. Flying again in May to HCMC. For budget travel it's an amazing option.
Bogans haven't really caught on with Vietnam (yet). Ive heard it's young backpackers and Aussies with vietnamese background who travel that route . Perhaps old habits die hard? They stick to what they know?
@@paulsz6194 Haha , I have also been to Thailand with them and no problems there and also Cambodia and Singapore. Mabey we are pretty chill about the whole thing. Anyway if it wasn't for budget travel I wouldn't have had the means to travel so much. Let's see how our next flight goes.
Very nice
Jetstar is one of my favorite airlines
Josh thanks for the review. Air Asia i think has been my most prefered LCC. Never delayed or canceled my flights unlike Scoot Jetstar or Cebu Pacific Air. In regards to the comments on bogans, its all accepted cause of the pathetically weak stance toward tolerance in Australia. Anything goes and is accepted, a true circus. Please respond to my comment with your opinions.
I'm Aussie and I've been to Bali before on jetstar.its ACTUALLY not bad.
Yellow heart Music in the plane 💛
Very good and sweet 👍
I thought it was called the Bintang Express 😅
This is the only one I go to I’ve never been to any over airport
plus of Jetstar Australia (economy): 1.free USB charging, 2.free documentary video IFE, 3.free headphone, 4.free still water "water please, 5.good seat and leg room.
You should try airnorth
Or Qantas domestic frost class
Did Air North Darwin to Dili some years ago. It was interesting. International flying in a tiny turboprop.
As an Aussie I was wondering if you knew what you were getting yourself into by going from Bali to Aus - Bali is like the bogan holiday hotspot - and only 30 seconds in you recognised that it is the 'bogan express'! The fact you even know what a bogan is made me laugh
Im from new zealand and I fly both jetstar and air new zealand. Honestly jetstar is fine its just the passengers are bit cheap and bogan or annoying but if you want the cheapest flight to get to a to b and dont need any food or care about anything else other than the lowest fare price so you can then spend that money on better acomidation etc then go jetstar but if you want the overall experience and quality go air new zealand. both are good airlines just for different needs
Great review Josh. However, that music has to go. I watched on mute with subtitles - that ditty is annoying.
Nooooo! I love it!
Flying jetstar domestically.. Is good!!...However, 3-4hrs check in for a 5 hr flight doesn't sound so good.. (Id rather fly domestically to Cairns, for a tropical holiday..) Jetstar is great for domestic flights!.... 👍
Please do a vlog on Air New Zealand Buisness Class
That WOULD be interesting!! I’ve done it and never again - prefer to
fly their world leading PE class
I've flown Air NZ Busines on the 777 and thought it was awesome.
Yes but only once their new business class hard product goes to market ( annoucement expected). The existing hard product (herringbone) is way out of date and is frankly, piss poor. No amount of excellent inflight service and catering can mask that. Better to fly their Prem Economy, which is truly excellent. Or even their economy.
Awarua Spirit spot on! The seats are so impractical, uncomfortable, intrusive (especially on the right side), the pop out monitor just gets in the way of the tray table during meal service and you’re effectively trapped until it’s all cleared - and for day time flights; forget enjoying the scenery unless you’re a contortionist 🤦♂️
Phillip Hunt try other airlines then like Singapore, Emirates and even Qantas - if you think Air Nz is ‘awesome’ then you’ll be bedazzled with the competition 🙌🏻
Seems like you pick the seats without window on purpose as it’s happened a couple of times now?
Bin-tang Express!
What is the best budget airliner from South Africa to Melbourne?
I got held up in Bangkok for 3 days due to cancellations by Jetstar. Haven’t flown with them since.
You'll find PLENTY on routes to Bali.
Please Try Cebu Pacific!!!!
Thai crew base get rotated through all of JQ long haul.
u r very brave mate...
Some additional info: Jetstar may be getting rid of the 787 due to high maintenance costs and industrial action. Just a side note tho, jetstar may re-utilize the jets for longer haul flights, after the arrival of Jetstar's first a321neo LR in august of 2020.
hello josh after corona virus end try fly OTT airlines (OTT means One Two Three)
Personally I prefer air asia but i dont mind jetsar if they have cheap flights. Air asia has good meal options. Bogan express sounds good lol.
Why would you ever fly Jetstar? I have tried to fly Jetstar Business twice - once cancelled so got a refund, once had to use a voucher from other cancellations. It was 7 hours delayed. But this is nothing compared to this story on the Australian Frequent Flyer Forum, "A family of four was left stranded in Bali for 18 days after Jetstar cancelled their flight home and didn’t offer an alternative flight until more than two weeks later.
After a holiday in Indonesia, AFF member Hutch0007 and their family was booked to return to Melbourne on a Jetstar flight departing on 16 September 2022. Unfortunately, around this time, several of Jetstar’s Boeing 787 aircraft were out of service with unexpected maintenance issues and many Jetstar international flights were delayed or cancelled. This flight from Denpasar to Melbourne was one of those impacted by a last-minute cancellation".
Josh I too noticed the Asian based cabin crew when I flew this flight back in September - assuming thay Jetstar Australia has a cabin crew base in Denpesar just due to them having so many flights between Australia each day.
Correct. They just hired indo crew to be based in denpasar per september 2019
Pls travel Vistara 787 Dreamliner. Love from India
Pleasant interior, not so loud and gaudy like Air Asia.
Pls review Oman Air!! ❤️
Not the bogan express 🤣🤣🤣 but thanks for the video Josh! I do like Jetstar and it's great domestically in New Zealand or a last minute flight to Australia - but yes usually the people are what annoys me lol. Otherwise the airline is great and the crew is fantastic!
In NZ especially they cancel every other flight because they didn’t sell one sea - I mean “mechanical issues”. You can only really fly them if you’re not in a rush.
