First Video of 2024! 🎊 What Airlines do you really want to see this year?!
British Airways
Royal air Maroc for sure ❤🇲🇦
Norwegian vs Finnair
British vs Air france
brussels airlines should you go to!
Aussie Flight Attendant here, ngl when I clicked on this video I half expected straight up slander, was really nice to see an open and honest review. A couple of things I would like to mention that may or may not provide some clarification.
1. No electronic devices on the tarmac areas is much like not being allowed on your phone when filling up your car (or a least that's a rule here in Australia) in addition to that because there's heavy machinery around and it's considered a 'sterile area' any distraction to yourself could lead you to accidentally doing something dangerous. We as crew are also trained to spot people who may be trying to record their surrounding with the intention of trying to find holes in security on premises so there's quite a few reasons why this is a no no.
2. The REX (short for Regional Express) lounge is indeed quite small, however they are only just gaining a foothold in the greater australian domestic market and up until now have been too small to lease any particularly major infrastructure within the airports. They are expanding quickly for the moment and their service is actually really good as well, highly recommend trying them out next time as they were recently rated as one of the best.
3. Jetstar recently introduced a pay-to-view in flight entertainment system which are still being rolled out onto aircraft, the most interesting part about it is that there isn't a screen in the back of the seat or in the armrest. You connect to a system on your own device that allows you to stream shows or movies and it's pretty cheap so for longer flights (2hrs+) its in my opinion really worth it. Just gotta remember to bring your own headphones for that one
4. Free water on the flight is actually a law as the crew serve alcohol, under the Liquor Regulation 2002 laws it's a requirement for a licensed premises including aircraft to provide free drinking water upon request in Australia.
5. Qantas banning recording onboard is an interesting topic which I feel quite a few people have misunderstood. At first glance I totally get that it looks like the company trying to cover itself up on a few fronts but there is some reason to it. First and foremost a handful of crazy/nasty people have intentionally gone out of their way to capture footage of crew in the midst of their duties because they are unhappy with any number of menial things. The faces and name badge photos of these crew are then distributed online paired with an exaggerated version of events and a crew member who may have only been trying their best within the scope of their job is then harrassed by a large group of people. 9 times out of 10, the reason this has happened is because someone hasn't wanted to follow simple instruction on board or has neglected/refused to comply with the law or airline policy. It is a requirement under Australian Law that if a Cabin Crew member gives you an instruction for operational or safety reasons then you must comply. The amount of incidents in which this happened flared up over the last holiday period and as a precautionary measure to protect crew and some passengers who suffered a similar fate, the no recording rule was rolled out. I myself was a victim of this, and the reason the guy in question flipped out and recorded me was because I asked him to put his armrest down, seatback upright and to have his window shade opened for landing as part of standard protocol. The biggest issue is that our crew ID is actually a form of government ID so if someone takes a photo and distributes it with the ID in the picture it actually poses a massive security risk as flashing one of those will let you into most secure areas of an airport.
5 tldr: A few idiots that thought they were above the rules ruined it for everyone.
Hope this provides a little bit of insight :D
Good read, well formatted and good information
Which airline do you work on
Thank you. Unfortunately, like most media these days, the truth, as you have here, doesn't get views, and even the most respected RUclipsrs are chasing views, since views equals income.
As someone working in the aviation industry in Australia THANK YOU so much for this comment!!!
As a travel agent in AUS, this is a great comment. I sell a lot of REX as I am in a regional area, and find they are fantastic!
It should be noted that JetStar is a wholly owned subsidiary of Qantas.
Also I wouldn’t call it a budget airline on the same level as Ryanair or Spirit. Ryanair and Spirit are Ultra Low Cost carriers (ULCC), whereas JetStar is just a Low Cost carrier (LCC)
Yes it’s true
True
I had a flight with Jetstar about a month ago on a A320 and it was one of the best flights I have had 15:48
@@Guitar_tab_tutorials3322same but yesterday
True
The security checks have nothing to do with the airline. This is more of a comparison between Brisbane and Melbourne airports. The biggest issue with Jetstar is if you get delayed or cancelled. The flight itself is usually ok
this is exactly what i was coming here to say. Security is about the airports. We live in AUS and my family does FIFO and there are some security that pick on our family EVERY time. and some that never do.
its also fun cause going from Brisbane to Melbourne recently.
Brisbane they checked my bag
Melbourne i got pat down
I was gonna say the exact same thing.
My flight with Jetstar wasn't too delayed
@@katemclean99 Pick on your family in what way ?
Hey Eric, I was a Qantas Engineer in BNE. There is a Qantas Lounge near the suitcase store and the eatery. Where you were you just have to walk through the walkway again where you can see Qantas and QantasLink and on the right will be the lounge.
Think he's only got Priority Pass, no status on Oneworld, so hence why the Rex lounge in Melbourne
@@mark123655 Oh yeah.
W profile
@@Saifteachesaviaton Thanks Mate
I think the big difference between the two is status for frequent flyers, if you’re Qantas gold or above you get separate security/lounge access, premium seat selection, extra baggage allowance and priority boarding, which makes a huge difference. Keep in mind, Jetstar is wholly owned by Qantas so aside from what you pointed out in the review they do have some operational synergy’s.
I’m excited for more videos at last! I got bored for so long and now we’re back! I think the issue is that your staying in the country and the flights aren’t gonna be as long and cozy, if you flew internationally i think it’d be a much better experience. Although it does still seem like you had a great time on Qantas!
I did an international one too for an upcoming vid!

Brisbane airport does have check in desks well at least when i went in 2023. And when i went to brisbane airport the security was fine.
Yes they do have check in desks and I went like last month he obviously just somehow didn’t see
Please man don't hate on Brisbane airport, they are getting a huge revamp of 5 billion USD, to make airport security faster and easier without having to take anything out, they are rated the 2nd best airport in Australia by SkyTrax. There is a reason they are hosting the 2032 Olympics. This hurt man😔😔

As an Australian, I've flown Qantas and Jetstar many times over the past decade, and frankly I actually don't mind Jetstar, the flights I've taken with them have always been on time, and I don't mind paying extra for food, or I simply get something at the airport prior to boarding. The free food on Qantas for what you pay for isn't really much in the scheme of things, typically it's a simple snack and a drink or a meal that's been heated up if you're getting the breakfast or dinner service which are only on a few selected flights that depart at certain times. The good thing about Qantas though is that you generally do get better overall service for the most part, and they even provide free entertainment that you can access, and that I'm willing to pay for with a bit of extra money.
The biggest downside with Jetstar are their strict baggage rules and how heavy your bag can be to bring it on board, it's also quite expensive to pay for extra kgs for baggage, which for someone who lives with a disability and needs to carry medical equipment on board, can be a bit expensive.
I am coming here to state that I could not have been happier with Jetstar Australia. Coming home from Christmas in Melbourne , tired and overloaded with extra luggage we were told at the check-in that the flight home was overbooked. I had no words. My wife was exhausted. We sighed that deep regret of acknowledgement that the world's business sometimes overwhelms the simplest people. I remember that I was clutching a life-sized Santa stocking full of Christmas gifts and that we were dragging a couple of those wheeled supersized suitcases, plus shoulder bag carry-ons, all full to burst. My wife sort of leaned against me and looked forlornly down at the carpet, both of us expecting to have to spend the night stretched out on that carpet over nearer the closest wall. " We can get you onto the next flight, first thing in the morning", explained the Jet Star check-in chicky with genuine regret at our dismay. ( OH, I know that is not the politically correct way to address the stressed out, overworked staff of a professional organisation. At near to seventy years old, even middle aged well dressed and coifed women are young enough to be my daughters and I still think, in passing ,that I would not have resentment against those lovely girls being so addressed, excepting as by a lout in a temper. Which I was not, am not and will try to be not.) Check-Out-In Chicky it is.
At that moment , dark had long since descended outside of the terminal, we were too tired to care about anything. To have come so close to home, one short hour's flight after a month away amidst the bustling city, the joyous relatives, the explosive energy of grandchildren and the unused to smaller than comfortable beds, , the packing, the thee farewells, the escape.. we were spent. We had also blown a wall sized hole in our pensioner's credit cards. All hopes were downcast. Then from behind the milling crowd;
A guardian angle descended upon us, her glorious smile irradiating the goodwill she wished to share. " Would you like the airline, JetStar, to put you up in an hotel for the evening? We can arraign that for you.", this said by the well meaning Angel oblivious to our depleted finances and our overall depleted reserves of energy to move further. " We have a limousine waiting to take you into town where all of our JetStar staff stay.", she explained in so kind manner that I was sad to almost say , " No, thank you. We will flop down against a wall. " Seeing my lack of enthusiasm arising she forestalled my objection with that magical phrase," The airline, Jet Star will pay for the room and give you gift certificates for meals. Please take this offer." Glory be and wowee, our spirits arose like larks singing at heaven's gate, ( forgive the misquote from some school suffered poetry.) A uniformed chauffeur took our bags, so many bags, and stuffed them into the accomodating rear end of a stretched LIMO. My first LIMO and whisked us off throught the swirling morass of busy Brisbane city to hand us off the also uniformed DOORMAN of the PULLMAN HOTEl. ( HOLLY SMOKES BATMAN.) They were expecting us. Ten minutes later we were stretched out on the double-wide beds debating whether we migh crawl down to the restaurant to eat or just go to sleep immediately. Yeah, well, Free food doesn't wait for the lay-a-beds so we washed up and leaned against each other in the elevator back to the lobby. Low and behold my hands, the restaurant was BONG TONG dontcha know. First class, suit and tie. It was by fortune's fate that I had worn long pants to fly. A small drink, not fruit juice. A long sumptuous meal, ( have you ever had a sauce hand made by the Chef from exotic ingredients, some pomegranate stuff? ). Couldn't fit in a dessert for I would have had to lean my head back to keep it down. I loosened the old trouser belt I will say, 'Top Notch Tucker.' Then to bed and a deep, sound snooze, too soon interrupted tov then reverse our course back to the airport in another LIMO. It seems we were to get our extra luggage all stowed away without an extra charge too. How good was our misfortune? By golly , that missing our flight was the best bit of bad luck ever visited on poor travellers. Looking back, I still smile and nearly laugh and wonder how we were so chosen to be picked out of a crowd. Perhaps we will miss another flight, anytime, with JetStar. Thanks folks. See you in the sky over my house all of the time whereas I never bothered to notice before. A big thumbs up for the JetStar service and a bigger wink to all of the Chickies.
JetStar was actually so good once I flew from Auckland to Queenstown, actually phenomenal!

Please do not recline your seat, have some consideration for the person behind. I use Jetstar regularly PER - ADL and PER - DPS both routes seem to go well with very few delays if any.
And what are we supposed to do? Stay in the same boring and painful position for the entire flight? We got to have some relaxing positions, duh.
Qantas is good for short flights and really long flights but Jetstar is good for short international flights such as Melbourne to Bali because even though you have to pay for the IFE you can actually get good food on Jetstar because they make you pay for it and on short flights on there A320 sometimes I get a $10 dollar credit, keep up the great work Eric ❤❤

@@TheRealPotatoMan111yayayaaaa metoo
With Qantas I’ve noticed when my dad was a Qantas gold status and the gate agent didn’t realise they told him it was a full flight in the same situation as you and then they realised he was good and magically a business seat opened up for him 😂, and I was in Longreach and a woman chased me off the tarmac for taking a photo of the nose 😭And the good thing is that you had a good time in the air, but I think Qantas has a great in flight service whereas the ground service is quite the experience, those self check in kiosks are quite common especially after the pandemic now so foreign travellers get confused sometimes, but they offer great service for Introverts
went to Longreach for a roadtrip once 🤞🤞
My daughter works for a global construction company. She told me that none of her coworkers wear luxury goods. They seem to focus on the kislux high-quality small boutique companies that make goods cheaper than the iconic luxury brands. There are lots of options. If you don't want to pay those high prices, there are a lot of great bags for just a few hundred dollars, not thousands.
As someone who is going to be flying on Jetstar from Melbourne to Gold Coast, I see this is an absolute win
You guys do realise Qantas owns Jetstar 😂
What I definitely knew that 😅
i live in australia and i agree with you. jetstar is a underrated airline. their customer service is questionable but they have very comfortable seats and good food. qantas has gone down hill considerably. i hope you had fun flying with both of them!
Qantas is NOT Australia’s best airline. That would either go to REX or Virgin Australia. Qantas is HORRIBLE.
The differences in check in was mainly that Melbourne Tullamarine is way bigger than Brisbane airport
Compared to other airlines, I think JetStar offers great value. In my country, our national airline charges twice as much as JetStar, and the only additional feature is an entertainment system. However, if you don't need food and only require 7 kg of luggage, you can fly for a quarter of the price of a regular airline with JetStar.
Jetstar experience is a gamble, speaking from having flown with Jetstar a lot of times.
On the rare occasion (like yours), Jetstar would be quite nice for a budget airline, but on most occasions, delays are a common place (sometimes more than once).
I once had a flight which was originally scheduled to take-off at 6pm, but it was constantly delayed by the hour until it was 11pm, at which they finally rescheduled the flight to tomorrow morning due to the increase in angry customers. On the bright side, they offered anyone who is willing to reschedule to tomorrow a paid night stay at a nearby hotel.
Loving the fact you've put your opinion into a comment nobody relevant will ever see. MINDA!!! JETSTAR has always been the GOAT!
I've flown Jetstar maybe 100 times... and I've had maybe 5 delays ever. ..and 0 longer than an hour . Never had a flight cancelled. Never had lost luggage. People just whinge. If you pay budget prices, expect things like no in flight entertainment.
Don’t think blud realises that Jetstar is 100% owned by qantas
Not 100%
You should try Norse Atlantic and FlyPlay, two new low cost trans Atlantic airlines
I will add it to the list!
@Slenderman_1172I bet it will be.
Honestly, i've only ever flown Jetstar. Of the 5 roundtrip holidays I have done, we only ever had one flight delay and that was due to a medical emergency. Plane was always clean, staff were amazing each trip and the seats comfortable. No complaints for me and would happily fly with them again. I will add, as someone with low vision, Jetstar's flight crew were very kind and helpful. They checked in to make sure I was okay throughout the flight process and I hadn't actually noticed that my ticket came with a $10 food voucher for each flight. They could have chosen to not mention it to me when they brought the food around but they showed me I had the voucher and read the menu for me as it was too small for me to read. Really, 10/10 service.
I’ve only ever flying Jetstar as well. Also it’s really ironic considering that I’m going to be flying from Melbourne to Gold Coast and I’ve already flown from Melbourne to Gold Coast so many times
Quantas' quality is outstanding, but the company itself if disgusting. My Dad knows someone who took their own life because of how bad Qantas treated them financially and emotionally.
You should do Easyjet vs British Airways.
good plan I like this!

New rule with Jetstar. They will be weighing customers before they board, to make sure the plane isn’t over weight, they did that at the Syd airport and Brisbane .

QANTAS OWNS JETSTAR FOR REAL LOL
Aussie here. I think we're very lucky in our country to not have "terrible" airlines. I've flown all domestic airlines, and I've had lots of pleasant experiences for the most part. I think people poop on JetStar WAAAAAYYYYY too much. Yes, it's a budget airline, but they're pretty good in getting you from A to B, and any delays are usually warranted or necessary. Plus, you get what you pay (and sometimes more).
i would never fly Qantas since my first experience with them, unless i absolutely had to
Spot on with your summary of the 2 airlines. There is very little difference between the different Australian airlines though most people have a favourite.
You were lucky to get an international-spec plane for your Qantas leg and note that the poor legroom is the same on all Qantas flights including longhaul international.
Qantas domestic legroom on 737 is 30". International is a tiny bit bigger at 31 or 32" depending on aircraft.
@@mark123655 thank you for the correction. I've done more than my share of 10+ hour flights on Qantas' ageing A330's with 31" pitch which the bulky IFE screen makes seem even smaller. I much prefer to fly ANA with their 34" pitch.
As an indonesian. You must try lionair. The 34% of their fligth delayed😅
I’ve flown Jetstar once in my life and my flight home was a nightmare.
First my original flight was canceled so they pushed me into a flight that was 2 hours earlier. Then when we got to the airport and everyone was seated, we were told there was a technical problem and needed someone to fix it. We ended up sitting on the tarmac for 2 hours. Eventually they told everyone to get off the plane and wait at the gate which made everyone really upset. And 40 minutes later we boarded for a second time and ended up taking off. It’s hilarious to me that not only was my original flight canceled and I was squeezed into an earlier flight, but we ended up taking off close to my original booking anyways. After talking to other passengers, they all had a similar story to me.
That’s how Jetstar saves money, if they have 2 half full flights, they’ll cancel one and squeeze those passengers into the earlier flight.
I’d been told horror stories about Jetstar before but I foolishly thought “oh it won’t happen to me” but I was proven wrong 😅
Very good vid mate!
You can’t complain about the success criteria, they both got you from Point A to Point B completely unscathed, which is why we should equally value all airlines because they all do their jobs so well to ensure everyone’s safety
I really like your perspective reviews. It's upfront, informative, real time action, and honest. I look forward to more of your videos. Happy flying Sir !
It’s kinda funny how he flew from Brisbane to Melbourne the from Melbourne to Gold Coast which is in Brisbane
I used to fly jetstar until we had 2 of the worst experiences of al time. They charged us $3 FOR WATER
Hey Eric I flew Jetstar and qantas I flew the 737 and a320 and I honestly am shocked about this review because qantas did not have the entertainment system and both had wifi access
qantas is 4.7 Jetstar is 5.0 the staff were super nice on Jetstar and even let me see the cockpit so I don't totally agree with your review and you called Jetstar a budget airline which I don't agree with because Jetstar was bought by qantas to compete with virgin airlines smaller planes
Worth noting that Qantas is the biggest domestic airline. They have check-ins in their international terminals but not domestic, because odds are if you live in Aus, you fly Qantas. So most people have the Qantas app which allows check in and boarding passes.
Fly from Sydney! Sydney is very nice place. Maybe fly Qantas vs Qantas. One of them will be a Boeng 737 and another can be an a380 back home!
a380s barely operate in australia bruh
NEW!.... to your channel, have subscribed., i have not been on Jetstar within Australia but i have been on Jetstar within New Zealand & they were just fine in fact. Awesome staff, flight departed and arrived right on time., so i'll have to give them full marks.✈
I been on Jetstar to Bali and NZ they were fine
As a wholly owned subsidiary of the Qantas Group, Jetstar Airways forms an integral part of the Qantas Group's two-brand strategy, operating in the leisure and value-based market. Our Australia and New Zealand based fleet comprises 76 aircraft.
To make it more fair you should take the flights out of the same airports and landing at the same airport as some airports have better ground services than others. That’s qantas didnt have much at Brisbane and didnt even have a lounge, but Jetstar had better check in, and they had a lunge. Love your videos! :)
Jet star is a budget airline Qantas owns them so really you’re still flying with Qantas on Jetstar
im all about Virgin Airlines. Helpful, so helpful and lovely ladies helping me as a flight newbie is what sold me on the air line
I really havent watched eric in a long time. Imma go back and watch his old videos for nostalgia

The guy by you laughed when you were talking about hot flight attendants 😂😂
Jetstar is underrated
Bro I love your reviews thanks for trying Qantas I live in Australia ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Hehe
So cool! You flew on the same jetstar plane as I did from Melbourne to Cairns
Keep in mind that $127 did not include any checked luggage or food, you’d be paying a comparable amount to qantas once adding costs of checked baggage and food, which is another reason it’s terrible airline, it’s advertised as a budget option but once you add the extras you end up paying the same if not more then for carriers that already include checked luggage and food/snacks on board
Last time I was supposed to fly Qantas, they delayed the flight twice then cancelled it. Our options were find somewhere to stay the night (at our own expense) or get on the provided mini van for an 4 hour road trip. Flight was an hr which is the whole reason I decided to fly. Instead of arriving at airport at 9 pm, it was 12.30am. No explanation as to why the flight was cancelled and no refunds on the flights…we didn’t take!
jetstar sucks. our flight got cancelled due ot lack of crew (flight home) and as a minor i couldnt do layovers, and that was the only option they gave us. i only got on cause someone else cancelled. anyways, we got on, and we sat on the plane for 45 minutes, with no information. then we left. the takeoff n landing we rough even with perfect conditions. the whole plane was shaking, and lights were flickering scaring us half to death. also, my sister had an asthma attack and when we pressed the crew button, they looked at her (going blue in the face) turned off the call button then continued talking to the other crew. WOULDNT EVER RECOMEND. not the first or last issue ill ever have with that stupid airline. qantas is so much better!!! also, i live in brisbane and ive flown alot. BRISBANE SEQURITY SUCKS. they have searched me even though i was completely fine (they claimed its becuase i was wearing jeans???) also, once my dad brang in fishing line to the airport but he didnt realise the rules had changed, so he took it out, but they werent satisifed. (be aware my dad is a big bloke, with beard and tattoos etc, he looks pretty sus) but anyways they legit ripped open his bag (my school bag i let him borrow) and they broke the bag. they then put it through the scanner and decided they wanted to triple check again (even though they had just searched it and nothing came up on the scan) and they ripped my bag even more, made my dad almost miss his flight, and my dad had to full on yell at them for him to go. he made his flight by TWO MINUTES. so dont think that its the airlines fault that brisbane has horrible security.
I think a key thing to note is that Jetstar do offer flights that would take over 3 hours long which is unusual for a budget airline
Security is run by airports in Australia, not the airlines.
YOO thanks for going to Brisbane for that first flight my city
Jetstar is a really good airline.
I fly with them almost every time I travel by plane and it’s actually amazing!!
Amazing video Eric love your vids from perth aus
16:21 that guy just sleeping behind his seat 💀
as an Aussie, I fly on Jetstar like ALL the time as they are very cheap, in my opinion for the price tag the fact all of their aircraft recline and the food is half decent, the seats are also decent for a budget airline so like they aren’t that bad
That Jetstar landing was really butter!
Nah dawg, that Qantas landing was not smooth not being mean 💀💀😭😭
Keep up the good airline vids because i've always wanted to go to another country!🎉
You definitely got lucky and got one of the good Jetstar planes!!!! Some are so bad that the legs of even my 5’3” body hit the seat in front and don’t even attempt to move that tray table!
Mate the thing is with Jetstar, if things go to plan they are completely fine. It’s when they don’t that things can get very ugly. People having their flights cancelled and not being able to fly for 3 days. People having to pay for hotels themselves because the airline won’t help them. Plus crazy things like planes having to turn back when half way to Bali.
When r u adding a new video? i am really excited for the next one and i’m also very impatient!😂
Nice video, as a kiwi, Jetstar is a really good airline. Definitely doesn't deserve the bad reviews. And at the end of the day, Jetstar pretty much every time gets you from A to B. Great service. I flew flight JQ288 from Christchurch - Wellington, 25 minutes gained early in the air. Great prices aswell. Thanks for sharing!
The only thing I hate about jetstar is the leg room is very little but ok however the plane are very dirty and I get sick almost everytime I take jetstart. Otherthan that they are super cheap and good for the price
6:41 as an Australia, I can assure you, they are much further apart than that 😂
online check in is the norm for domestic flights, those kiosks can print out a physical boarding pass if you want and can also check you in too, but they just prefer online check in and said check in can *normally* let you change your seat pick
actually cant remember if the Qantas ones will actually print a boarding pass cause i normally just fly virgin. always find it weird to do a virgin flight with a manned bag drop, kinda prefer the auto bad drop cause its just faster.
16:20 NOT THE GUY SLEEPING IN THE BACKROUND😂
You get what you pay for. Jetstar is a budget airline and I think some travellers expect 5 star service when pay minimal amount. I travel a lot and by using my phone app I can book, select my seat and checkin. Apart from delays I am a big Qantas fan
Its great to see aussie content, we need more content like this! What about the other aussie airliners like bonsa and rex
Do virgin vs rex next
