  • anth0888 on 05/02/2015 - 10:10

    I notice Jetstar having these Japan sales (2 for 1) happening more often and targeting the Japanese tourism market - which is good for Australian travellers. Also being direct and all - beats the airasia haul which is in excess of 16 hours with sardine seats. Plus its even cheaper on the return leg - even if you arrive back to Melbourne at 1am in the morning.

    QUESTION: I'm wondering if anyone is a member of that 'club jetstar' program - supposedly you get access to member only sales and pre access of upcoming sales etc. I was thinking of joining up, but wondering if its actually worth the expense? Like to hear your experience.

    • carwashhair on 05/02/2015 - 12:20
      +3

      NEVER pay a joining fee to a club (or a credit card, etc etc.) without getting the equivalent or greater amount of that fee paid back to you (e.g. via refund/rebate/cash-convertible points) immediately.

      In this case, it's not worth it to me - you're giving them money for 'access' (i.e. a chance) to potentially save money in future. If you know you will definitely be flying jetstar in the near future and will NEED the advance access to secure discount fares, AND the discount will more than cover the joining fee then you may see value.

      I just see Jetstar extracting $39 for a promise of nothing, while charging people for a kind of loyalty as they try to justify spending the club joining fee by spending MORE money with jetstar!

      • anth0888 on 05/02/2015 - 15:58

        good point. Though if the value saved (like you say is a big difference) then it may be considerable. Seems like another way to extra money from people.

    • sagrules on 05/02/2015 - 12:56

      I would consider getting the Jetstar credit card as you avoid the credit card fees and still get something back.

      Plenty things to do in Tokyo, get your self a JR Pass, visit Osaka and Kyoto at least.

      • Daabido on 05/02/2015 - 21:34

        But make sure you get the JR Pass in Australia; you can't buy them in Japan. You then activate it at certain big train stations in Japan.

        Only tourist visa holders (which almost everyone will be) as they get stamped in their passport are able to use it.

          +1

          At least you get deals. Sydney airport is relatively expensive to fly into and out of (from a taxes/rental perspective), so they can't be as cheap as what gets offered out of Melbourne, Gold Coast and (particularly) Cairns airports (Cairns airport was basically built by the Japanese in the 1980s Japanese investment boom)
