Jatinder Sandhu Review of Jetstar Asia Airways

I took the red eye flight from Singapore to Melbourne. When I first boarded the plane I was a little surprised at the seating legroom as it does feel a little more cramped then other long-ish haul flights. After sitting down and getting comfortable you realise there is just about enough legroom, but it is a tight call and if you re tall or a bit larger than normal you might find it too tight a squeeze. The seats are overall pretty comfortable apart from the legroom and the entertainment system is modern with a good selection of movies and tv series. The food didn t look particularly appealing as we were offered a potato masala wrap or a vegetable calzone bun for the late night meal. I opted for the potato wrap and it was a little dry but the spices made up for it. The wine selection was actually pretty good and I enjoyed a nice Shiraz as a night cap. The breakfast meal wouldn t win any prizes for presentation as it looked a bit like a microwave meal but it tasted decent enough the egg omelette was made with cheese, which was nice, the sausage was made made of real pork and the beans remained saucy and not too dry. The stewards were ok, courteous without being overly friendly but sometimes distracted and just going through the motions. I had one stewardess ask me for a tea or coffee order and after I replied she came back a moment later and asked again and when I replied again with the same answer she realised she d already asked me and laughed to herself before handing me the drink. I guess that must have amuses her. Anyway I can t say Qantas is amazing and I can t say it s that bad, it s pretty much bang in the middle of the road. If the seats were a little more spacious and the service a little more charming I d think differently, but it is what it is.
