Sorry to hear of your experience SeattleFlyerGuy and I hope that you do not remember your Rarotonga honeymoon as just this poor JQ experience, in fact try to forget about it altogether.
I too had a bad airline experience on my honeymoon, TG, I wrote in a complaint and received a reply that blamed everything on the GFC and that it was not under the control of the airline. I never flew with them again but will remember the wonderful time we had in Morocco, Spain and S.E.A..
JQ is a LCC and I would never expect to hear from them with offers of compensation or help with extra costs. It is just not worth the aggravation or the need to make a point as they will never change their ways.
