I was interested to see this review of what Jetstar Business currently offers, and I must say I thought it was a very decent product at an incredibly good price. Thanks for posting Jayden.
But we got it on a nicer plate! Or box I think it was. Only flew Jetstar business two days ago and I already forget, such was the flight so forgettable.
Great video, Jayden! I was surprisingly impressed by JetStar’s business class product. The service looked really nice. I didn’t know you could also order off the economy menu as well. That’s a nice perk.
Hi Jayden , how comfortable are the jetstar business seats , was the incline enough for you to sleep. Great video , I booked Sydney to Hnl business bundle
Jetstars Business Class product looks fantastic. I did not expect that after a couple of friends were flying with them a few weeks back. They did not mention any positive aspect about their experience :D Glad you enjoyed your flight more than my friends. Thank you for your fantastic review Jayden :)
Great review Jayden! JQ looks a really solid middle ground option for those who want a pretty good upgrade to their usual economy experience but don't need the excesses of luxury and the lie flat beds of the traditional carriers and want to save $$$$s in the process - the difference when comparing with Virgin's and QF's 737's and their recliner seats make it even more negligible! .For $800 you got a real steal! 🙂
Are we talking about scoot Biz ( or Premium) as they call it now? Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe you can accrue QF frequent flyer points on Jetstar Business flights...
Scoot charged me 22SGD for a 300mL mineral water. I was like what? And flight crew gave me the "You peasant" look. Damn you pay less to get attitude lol.
Yes, but I think you have purchase the "full bundle " fare. Whereas with scoot, no matter how much you pay, you cannot accrue KrisFlyer points with Singapore airlines, yet Singapore Airlines WILL bundle in a Scoot flight where they can, for exam0,e if you’re flying from Melbourne-Phuket via Singapore, they might bundle in a Scoot flight from SIN -HKT. You will get Kris flyer points, but your paying a full service carrier price' but flying & getting Budget carrier service.
Great trip report mate! It was a good looking dinner especially given it was well after 11pm Ho Chi Minh city time. The seats are looking in good condition especially given their age.
Sounds like they're using the Singapore based crew for this flight as well. I am so excited and cannot wait, I am flying them next week SYD-ICN in JCL. Seat 1A! The last seat available when I booked. Woo hoo.... JQ JCL is surprisingly very decent for the price, I think. I actually found the catering to be very top notch.
The crew was telling me all about the catering haha. Apparently it’s Vietnam Airlines catering from Ho Chi Minh and Thai Airways from BKK/HKT and they’re always good!
I just flew the same leg on Jetstar business only last week. I can say that the service is great, if the flight is always on time. My flight was delayed until 4:00 AM, which make this flight horrendous even with all the great service provided by the airline.
HI Jayden. It looks like you found a decent Jetstar flight and service. One tends to hear all the time about stuff-ups with their flight. Pretty lousy conditions at the airport before y flew out though.
Nice job as always, Jayden! Jetstar should thank you for the great publicity you've given them. Food and service look great. Are you aware whether your videos help or hurt airlines? You're always pretty kind and mild with criticisms, but you always make your points. For my part, if business or premium economy tickets were as reasonable as Jetstar's, I'd purchase them regularly. Reading your response to an earlier comment, I'm dismayed at people's behavior, taking up four seats to lie down when others have nowhere to sit. There should be fines for rudeness. All the best to you!
Thanks Britt!! I don’t know! But I hope my videos help the airlines because I don’t want to hurt anyone and become hated haha I would take a few seats too but only if the area was empty. Some people came down after me and had to stand the whole time :/
@@JaydenWong I wish people weren't so rude. Well, at least the flight was a nice experience! Next time you are in Minneapolis, give me a call. Thanks for the video, it really was splendid!
Sorry hadn't finished when accidentally preesedthe send button. What I was going to say business class looked better than I thought it would. Meals really good.
Maureen do you see those three little dots at the top right corner of your comment? If you click them you can select "edit" to re-enter your comment and type whatever you wanted to type.
when you fly business or first class, do you still get priority when boarding the plane, it looked like you was mixed in with Economy pasengers ? the meals looked very appetising.
another great report Mr Wong, shame JQ doesn't provide lounge access at Ho Chi Minh, strange given they have daily flight to Australia? Looking forward to new and fascinating trip reports in 2023
BiJayden. Great review. The rear of your Business class seat looked a bit grubby around the edges of the entertainment screen. Business class is only great if the Jetstar flight takes off on time! Didn’t know you can get Qantas lounge Access if you purchase a full Bundle fare for Business class. You certainly wouldn’t get that with Scoot a biz /or Premium as they call it now?
Scoot call it ScootPlus now, in other words, premium economy. That's what I like about Jetstar, lounge access for Qantas club members and if you've purchased the bundle.
Sorry but that is, by no measure, a great business class. No lounge, no lie flat seat, basic meals, plastic cups, a lesser baggage allowance. You get what you pay for and you might, in J* case, get there on time.
You might like to consider flying with Air AsiaX. Their Premium Flatbed Seat option comes with 40 kg luggage allowance and a complimentary meal. Surprisingly, although it's better than the offerings on Jetstar and Scoot they choose not to call it business class.
There were secondary screening when flying from Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia to Australia. However, there was no extra screening at gate for flights between mainland China and Australia. I wonder what is the reason behind this?
I went business to HCMC/Melbourne.. there and back. I found it pretty shit. They won’t even let you have an extra meal if you’re really hungry. You get a tiny bag of pretzels.
I’ve got the same seats on a flight to Japan in December, is the recline on those the same as the rows, looks like it but thought I’d check with someone that has been in the seat
Hello Jayden. We were originally booked in 2a and 2c on the Jetstar 787. We have now recent email saying we have been moved to 3a and 3c. On Seatguru it says this seat this seat has less recline than others, however we are not aboevto confirm this. What did you find? Thanks.
Hi Jayden, we have just had an email from Jetstar saying we have had a plane type change. It is now Airbus A321 Neo. Do you have any experience on this type? Does this plane have business class? Thanks Shane.
Jetstar has 787 aircrafts for international flights now. I thought they only ever had/ran A320 and A320neo only which they never have business class seats.
Near as I can figure, if you can't eat from their inflight menu, you need to bring food with you, no special meal requests are possible. I will call Jetstar this week to confirm.
@@htan5821 Patrons see it first. They get the business class service :) Age pensioners like me are content to wait a few hours, we still enjoy the flight while saving up for our own flights.
The water itself is almost free. The cost is in the packaging, presentation and marketing. In airport shops prices have to cover the cost of acquiring and renting the airport shop.
@@rais1953 by the way, how much marketing Do you require for a bottle of water?there is not going to be more than 2-3 brands of water to choose from. Do you think airports are really about giving you choice & value for money? Every one knows it’s a monopoly inside an airport. Have you ever seen Pepsi sold alongside Coca cola at an airport?

plane manufacturers keep improving the aircraft but in 2023, the microphone or handset for the PA system remains horrible. Just listen (5m onwards) to the pilot "spitting" into the mouthpiece. This often happen on most flights.
their shorter flights (less than 4-5 hours) are fine, but long haul isn't very good they are a budget carrier so service isn't good as full cost airlines like qantas.
All the pet peeves are coming through today: - "who" Chi Minh City no, it's 'HO' Chi Minh City; and - I desperately wish you blurred out passenger and staff's faces from your reports.

yep very very good value, cheaper than Qantas premium economy, but better I would say!
This looked like a nice flight. The food looked good, crew seemed friendly. I’d say you enjoyed this flight!
Very generous to allow passengers to choose anything from the domestic menu at no extra charge.
But we got it on a nicer plate! Or box I think it was. Only flew Jetstar business two days ago and I already forget, such was the flight so forgettable.
Great video Jayden! I love your videos and I have subscribed! 😊❤🎉
Thanks for subbing! :)

Very good work, Jayden. Your flight looked quite presentable and good value. Happy travels.
Great video, Jayden! I was surprisingly impressed by JetStar’s business class product. The service looked really nice. I didn’t know you could also order off the economy menu as well. That’s a nice perk.
Totally, if you order enough food, you'd make your ticket money back🤣 thanks Mike!

Oh hi there! It was very good for a low cost carrier and at the price that they were charging :)
This is not business class, it’s just premium economy, maybe not even PE, no better than the exit row
@@hudiemi Exactly right. Better than sitting with the plebs, but shouldn't be called 'Business Class' at all.
So nice Jayden. It did look like economy plus, but still great service. I loved your Adidas sandals.

totally. Sometimes it's $600 on this route when you book early/ at the right time! Thank for watching!
Another very enjoyable report Jayden. You always manage to convey the flight from a passenger perspective. Thank you :)
thanks for watching Simon, and also for your kind comment :)
🤔 What other perspective could he convey it in?
Looking at the service Jetstar offers in their premium class, it's definitely a step above what Scoot offers :)
Are we talking about scoot Biz ( or Premium) as they call it now? Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe you can accrue QF frequent flyer points on Jetstar Business flights...
Which is a small step above walking.

@@JaydenWong Wow! Very diverse set of crew! 😃👍

Great in a sense that it's only $600! Vietnam Airlines economy is $700 on the same route.
Nice review thanks!

Hi Jayden,the flight,food, service,IFE was good.But my big disappointment is the seat😞, I really want a flat bed in such a long flight.
You might like to consider flying with Air AsiaX. Their Premium Flatbed Seat option comes with 40 kg luggage allowance and a complimentary meal. Surprisingly, although it's better than the offerings on Jetstar and Scoot they choose not to call it business class.
Water is like $4 or $5 a bottle from stores where I live. It's like a dollar a bottle if you buy in bulk from a supermarket.
There were secondary screening when flying from Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia to Australia. However, there was no extra screening at gate for flights between mainland China and Australia. I wonder what is the reason behind this?

How do you find the business class option on Jetstar's website?
it'll show if it's a 787.
Your video was amazing very like it 🎉
I’ve got the same seats on a flight to Japan in December, is the recline on those the same as the rows, looks like it but thought I’d check with someone that has been in the seat

Swatch :) Singapore edition :)

Did you have wifi over Australia on that flight?
Not on Jetstar, no

Basically Jetstar business is equivalent to Premium Economy on legacy airlines.
Hi Jayden so you're born in Hong Kong, we don't have many good points earning cards except AMEX in Australia. What cards do you use
What’s wrong with the Qantas branded cards, issued by Commonwealth bank, NAB or ANZ?
I have the qantas ultimate and some HK issued cards :)

Do you know how they would go for people with food intolerances, eg for me I am gluten intolerant?
Hello, I am not sure sorry, can't find much information online either.
Near as I can figure, if you can't eat from their inflight menu, you need to bring food with you, no special meal requests are possible. I will call Jetstar this week to confirm.
does the seat lie flat?
Is it similar to Qantas premium economy?
Kinda, more similar to Qantas 737 business class in terms of width, legroom and comfort :)
