OT: don't fly tiger airways!!!

I had a 7hr delay with jetstar last year, they were over booked and needed 15 people to go the next day. If that wasn't bad enough we landed in hawaii and were then informed that they left our luggage in sydney, took 2 days to get my luggage and pretty much ruined my holiday.
Jetstar is worse as far as delays, look at all the passengers stuck in Thailand for an extra 3 days last week and spent most of their time at the airport before being sent to a hotel each night after further delays!
All the airlines suffer these problems but especially the budget airlines because they cater for bogans who love to rant and rave (which the media love) and they don't have spare capacity if a plane fails.
A lot of budget airlines are strict on check in times. Jetstar are 45 minutes as well IIRC and many in Europe are like EasyJet and Ryanair.

Yeah I had a really bad experience with QANTAS the last time I flew...
The refresher towel was a little too hot.
The lumbar support in my seat didn't work.
The Salmon was a little over done
And the pilot hit a "bump" at a most inconvenient time causing me to spill a bit of my 3rd Gin and Tonic.

Doesn't that just make you want to spit. :lol:
Totally agree. The real problem is, try booking a Qantas flight to Hawaii!!
You fly FKN jetstar anyways!

saad, I love you buddy, but from someone who just reads your threads, you seem a bit whiney.
your thread about what wheels to get, this and that, asking all these basic questions without finding out info for yourself, and now this, it just makes you seem really immature.

Yeah - who the fuck cares about a 2 hr delay when you're sitting in the business lounge drinking scotch and eating miniature pies?
I guess if you pay $45 for a ticket, you can expect to get treated similar to catching a bus.

Feel the bromance!
I won't fly Jetstar for work because they cancel flights that aren't full enough if there is capacity for all passengers on an alternate flight departing after yours as a standard operating procedure. You cannot guarantee you will be where you need to be at a given time unless you have booked the last flight of the day.
I accept delays for mechanical thoroughness, but not when I book a flight at a specific time with a place to be at a specific time that they can choose to cancel to save money. Remember those folks delayed 8 hours for a STate of Origin game this year who missed the kickoff? Jetstar - and no compensation for $100+ tickets. You'd have thought 8 hours was enough margin but no...
I will choose a budget airline for leisure travel becasue time isn't critical, it involves the purchase of multiple tickets so saves money, and because my money is better spent on my recreation activities.
