OW sapphire travelling Jetstar
My sister-in law is visiting from the US and travelling Jetstar SYD-PER. She is AA plat and OW sapphire. Question: does she get elite baggage weight benefits on Jetstar and if so what is the baggage weight limit? Thanks for any information FTers!

The Jetstar base fare includes NO checked baggage allowance When booking, there is the option to include a checked baggage allowance for additional cost for SYD-PER if purchased at time of booking is $16 for 15Kg $18 for 20Kg $30 for 25Kg $35 for 30Kg $40 for 35Kg $45 for 40Kg If she wants to take luggage ,I would recommend pre-purchasing the required allowance since it is cheaper than paying at the airport If the ticket has already been purchased but without the necessary allowance, then it can be added to an existing booking at a rate of $35/$40/$50/$65/$80/$90 for 15/20/25/30/35/40Kg If left until the airport, then it will cost $80 for 20Kg Should there be excess weight on top of the paid amount, then is $15 per Kg Dave |
Wow! That's pretty dismal Dave compared with *A where we elites get a very generous additional weight allowance. Thank you for the information which I have transmitted to my sister-in-law. Iain

Jetstar is a low cost carrier and is not part of the OW alliance. Even if OW did have additional allowances, it would not apply to Jetstar travel any more than *A status would apply to travel on Qantas Hopefully the information will help ensure that she gets to minimise baggage charges anyway :) |
Sadly, this is a case of QF and JQ being completely different airlines with different policies, operations etc inspite of QF making it very clear that they own JQ and gladly accept the profit that is generated - and have the words "Qantas Group" on the JQ aircraft.
Sometimes they are very close, other times they are poles apart. The separation varies according to circumstance. :rolleyes: |
Of course, if this is all booked on the same ticket as, say a flight from LAX to SYD, then the situation may be different, depending on if MSC rules apply.

I wouldn't be 100% sure since JQ is not an IATA airline iirc

Well, they should, at least for all bookings ticketed since April 1st. Note that elite benefits of additional baggage allowance might not apply with the MSC regulation.

With UA/DL , since they are going to/from USA (in relation to AU), then the special provisions of US travel will apply regarding luggage allowance iirc
Dave Also with the U.S.A. exception the allowance that applies to the first check-in applies to the entire ticket. |
