    Hi Aidan, Bogan Bus describes it really well mate. The seats on it are ok for an hour or two, but don't really cut it for long haul. You're absolutely right in saying that it's a much better idea if you're flying long haul to pay the little extra and use a full service carrier. Thanks for all your reports mate, they're really good! 😊

    Here’s a tip, if you fly international with Jetstar pay a few more bucks to get upfront seat, you can be last on and first off, I’ve flown to Bangkok and Singapore from Melbourne no issues 👍

      @@ifly1 These unique domestic flights are actually part of an international service, as the Jetstar or Qantas plane has originated from overseas, or will travel onwards overseas, after departing Melbourne. This explains you are required to show photo ID when checking in, as you will be processed by immigration and customs, just like a passenger travelling overseas.
      If this is all too onerous for the proverbial 90 minute milk run between Sydney and Melbourne, then a traveller ought to elect an ordinary domestic flight from the outset. These special domestic flights should only be taken if a traveller is desperate and as a last resort. Otherwise, the exercise is pointless.

    dude, i cant wait to watch this video, personally as much as i dont want to fly the jetstar 787, being based in melbourne it can be quite hard, as we regularly fly to honolulu and jetstar being the only carrier that flies this route makes it 10 hours of hell, even worse when they operated the a330. thats why im hoping that qantas or hawaiian airlines will expand into melbourne!!!

    This is so surreal... International terminal for a domestic. I've done Malaysia Airlines a couple of times between SYD and MEL on the way to and from KUL back in the day. I found the YCL on the JQ 787 surprisingly decent. It's ok for a day time flight, but no... Definitely JCL on a longer flight.

      Because it’s an onward journey qantas wants bums on seats so they sell tickets for the Sydney to Melbourne part of the trip they do this in Perth too with QF9 continues to Melbourne as QF10 domestic from London but departs as an international flight you have to pas through border force because you’re mixing from international passengers who haven’t been screened by security or border force yet but will when they get to Melbourne
