Update. Pilot said fplane was strucK by lightning so needed to br checked. I'm fine with that but things like this happen to tiger more often than othe airlines.
FACT 1: Tiger have less aircraft than all the other major airlines in Australia.
FACT 2: God doesn't target Tiger planes with lightening more than other airlines.
FACT 3: Tiger aircraft suffer from the same percentage of strikes as other airlines.
FACT 4: Tiger have the least number of strikes from lightning (see FACT 1)
Flew to malaysia on jetstar last yr. Was v. Impressed plane was nice and had in seat entertainment etc. Almost didn't fly cos passport had less than 6 months validity and stupid jetstar policy. They had already turned away other ppl but I persuade thrm to let me fly. Stupid bearacracy. Got the Malaysian high commissioner on the phone telling them I wasok to fly but they still said no. Eventually got on and persuaded them. Makes a great story to use on job applications for questions like 'how have u persuaded ppl in the past etc'
This isn't a Jetstar policy at all.
Singapore, Malaysia and Israel to name a few require a minimum six months remaining on the passport. They can refuse entry to their country, fine the airline and the airline has to return the traveller at their cost if they don't follow this. Some other countries require 3 months.
The Australian government recommends you have at least six months remaining on your passport when you return home.

"Valid passport of more than 6 months at the time of proposed visit ."
Perhaps spend more time researching and less time waxing your car before you travel :thumbsup:
BTW you can see on time performance for all airlines
