Jetstar to Qantas checked luggage
Hi,
My wife is booked Jetstar Queenstown to Melbourne connecting onto an international flight in J - so in transit
Both the Jetstar and Qantas websites have confused me and Qantas call centre said all good - but she has got concerned by Jetstar's website.
She will have checked luggage - will Jetstar check the luggage through for her to LHR or will she have to clear customs and recheck in her bag in Melbourne.
thanks

Is ZQN--???-MEL (JQ) and MEL-???-LHR (QF) all on 1 ticket?
How much time between JQ & QF flights?
ZQN non stop to MEL? MEL flight via PER (QF9) ?

If it is all on one ticket, then Jetstar will check through ( as per https://www.jetstar.com/au/en/help/a...gage-transfers )
If they are separate bookings, then you are not connecting, but just doing 1 jounrey from ZQN-MEL and a separate journey from MEL-LHR; in this case you will have to clear immigration and customs and then head to Qantas check in desk to check bags in for the onward flight; if there is a problem with the JQ flight and she misses the QF checkin closure time, then she will be just a no-show and have to change the MEL-LHR ticket accordingly , so make sure to have left plenty of time
