Our minibus came by to pick us up at Quest at 9.20am, allowing us to reach the airport 2.5 hours before departure at 12noon. Clearing customs was pretty slow. The Melbourne Tullamarine airport was dull and no where near being star class. What makes it worse was that our flight was delayed for an hour due to airport technical issues with the loading of baggage. B and I occupied ourselves with Kettle chips from vending machines and games on our iPhones.
We heaved a sigh of relief when the plane finally took off. Meals served on board were as good as before. I polished off everything in no time. There was even ice-cream for dessert. The flight attendants were friendly and jovial. My mindset of flying on low cost carriers has definitely changed for the better. I’m pleasantly surprised at how professional the flight attendants were and at how comfortable the whole journey was. I’m never a fan of flying but Jetstar’s StarClass seats played such a huge role in making the total of 14 hours in the air enjoyable. I cant even think of a downside of flying on StarClass. So save those hundreds of dollars and fly StarClass now on Jetstar’s Airbus A330! Next up would be to Auckland, New Zealand and I seriously can’t wait for that!
