About Jetstar Asia
Jetstar Asia Airways Pte Ltd, headquartered in Singapore, is a low-cost airline. Like Jetstar Airways, it has a direct connection with the Australia-based Qantas airline. Jetstar Asia Airways operates flights to regional destinations in Southeast Asia, including countries like Myanmar, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, as well as to East Asian regional points like Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
Forming a partnership with Qantas in 2004 (acquiring a 49% stake), Jetstar Asia Airways has code-sharing agreements with airlines such as Emirates, Finnair, Qantas, and SriLankan Airlines. The airline maintains a fleet of 18 Airbus A320-200 aircraft, known for their average seat pitch of 29 inches with leather seats and generous food and beverage service.
In addition to Jetstar Asia, there are subsidiary brands like Jetstar in New Zealand, Jetstar Pacific in Vietnam, and Jetstar Japan, expanding its reach and brand presence.
Jetstar Asia Check-In Services
The check-in process for Jetstar Asia flights allows passengers to check in online from 24 hours before their departure. By checking in online, you can print your boarding pass or download it to your mobile device, ensuring a smoother start to your journey. If you prefer or need to check in at the airport, the counters are open at least two hours before the flight's departure time. It's important to be aware of the baggage cut-off times to ensure there are no delays in your travel plans.
Baggage Right and Charges
Jetstar Asia's baggage policies vary depending on the type of fare you have purchased. The Starter Fare does not include any checked baggage allowance, encouraging lighter travel or the purchase of additional baggage if needed. The Starter Plus Bundle, on the other hand, includes a 20kg checked baggage allowance, catering to those who need to bring more on their travels. If you find yourself needing more than what's included in your fare, you can purchase extra checked baggage allowance either online or at the airport. However, be prepared for higher fees as your departure time gets closer.
Jetstar Asia Seat Selection
When it comes to selecting a seat, Jetstar Asia offers options to suit various needs and preferences. If you've purchased the Starter Plus Bundle, you can select your seat at no extra charge during the online check-in process. This bundle includes a standard seat selection, making your travel more comfortable. For those looking for a specific seat, such as one with extra legroom or an upfront seat, there is the option to pre-purchase these seats either during the booking process or by using the "Manage Booking" feature, though this comes with an additional fee.
Jetstar Asia Knee Space
Regarding legroom, it varies by aircraft type, and Jetstar Asia does not specify exact measurements. However, for those who prefer or require more space, seats with extra legroom are available for purchase during booking or through the "Manage Booking" feature. This option allows passengers to enhance their comfort during the flight for an additional fee.
Jetstar Asia Inflight Catering Services
For in-flight meals, the offerings depend on the fare type as well. Passengers with a Starter Fare will not have meals or drinks included, while those with the Starter Plus Bundle may receive a meal, snack, or in-flight voucher depending on the flight route. Additionally, all passengers have the option to purchase meals, snacks, and drinks on board the aircraft, providing flexibility for everyone's needs.
