I vowed several years ago never to fly this lot again however to attend a funeral in Canberra today i purchased two business class tickets on the international flight from Osaka to Sydney that stops into Cairns on its way. So travelling Cairns to Sydney
We got up at 3:45 this morning to travel to Cairns and arrived at 5:20 at the checkin counter where the signs all said
JETSTAR Flight JQ16 is Cancelled –
What ???
I checked my mobile, surely as this flight departed ( or should have ) departed 7 hours ago at a minimum I would have been notified, definitely NOT !!
They passed me to a manager who said they could get me onto a Qantas flight to Sydney at 6:15 but there was no urgency in their actions and she explained her system wouldn’t book it for some reason, she phoned Qantas and Jetstar in the domestic airport and we were told we had ten minutes to get there to check in, go to gate 15.
Racing to walk to 600 metres 5 minutes later we arrived.
Finally we were served and after being stuffed around significantly by this dumb arse woman, asking stupid questions and showing NO URGENCY to get us on board she comes to us and say’s … sorry the flight is now closed.
The truth of the matter is she stuffed around long enough so as we couldn’t make the flight. more
