    Got this last time a bit cheaper ~ $385 or so. Highly recommended!! They put you on the Dreamliners so that's good :)
    For Jetstar, it was a really comfortable flight, just take your own food and headphones (you get an adaptor to plug your own headphones in if you don't like theirs which no one does) or you'll end up paying just as much as you would've lol.

    • theguyrules on 14/09/2017 - 07:46

      Agreed. It's not too long a flight and the Dreamliners are pretty decent.
      I probably wouldn't recommend getting food on the plane but it isn't too awful, just expensive.
      And you pay for in-flight entertainment, at least I did 2 years ago.

      • pennypincher98 on 14/09/2017 - 09:56

        Yeah definitely get entertainment - I think it's only $15 or so?
        And the food is quite bad, even for plane food. To top it off, it's so overpriced.

        • AustriaBargain on 15/09/2017 - 04:38

          Is it better than loading up an iPad with your own movies and shows?

        • pennypincher98 on 15/09/2017 - 08:58

          @AustriaBargain: Well, it depends on what you want. Personally I think the entertainment is worth it, but if you want to save $15 then I guess just make sure the kids are happy!! If you don't have kids, it'll most likely suffice for yourself.

        • Bigburper on 16/09/2017 - 23:04

          @AustriaBargain: no

      • TrafalgarSean on 14/09/2017 - 18:12

        I flew Jetstar to Hawaii and to Tokyo and both times got the cup of noodles and both times it made me not only sick but gave me gout too. Never had gout before or since those times, can tell you was the worst thing ever.

    • pyro love bird on 14/09/2017 - 08:55

      Agreed, I went last year for $368

    • ryu on 14/09/2017 - 09:03

      In November, they have dates for about $385. But it's not easy to pack a winter's worth in 7KG, or should I cough up around $200 more to make it 10kg?

        You can pick up winter clothes in JP at Uniqlo etc cheaply.

        • Marty131 on 14/09/2017 - 15:13

          But how would you bring it back?

        • piggyfund on 14/09/2017 - 16:25

          @Marty131: You don't bring it back or you swap it out for what you brought over and throw away your old clothes, I'd rather spend money on new clothes then airline food and excess baggage but that's just me.

        When I went with Jetstar in Nov 2015 it cost us $35 each to upgrade to 20kg.

      The site has shit itself, went all the way to payment then got that screen. Now the booking page, even with Melbourne > Narita selected redirects to "Melbourne (Tullamarine) to Sydney". Tried incognito mode as well.

    weird date ranges though

    For your return flight, search for flights between: 19 November - 11 December 2017, 6 February - 27 June 2018, or 6 May - 9 July 2018.

    why not just say 6 February - 9 July 2018 when the date ranges overlap?

    or am i missing something…

    I went to Japan earlier this year from Brisbane the same Jetstar deal. Amazing country and highly recommended!
    Beware of the transit time periods. Took about 14 hours from Tokyo to Brisbane with 5 hour transit at Cairs Airport with not much to do. After a long trip, the last thing you want to do is wait in an airport for that long lol you do pay for what you get though and Jetstar service was generally quite good :)

    • Nalar on 14/09/2017 - 11:27

      Fly from gold coast, it's direct every other day.

    • atrorz on 14/09/2017 - 15:20

      we've been twice from GC, all direct 9hr flights. The 1hr train ride to GC was about the same travel time for me as the airtrain to brisbane airport, and costs less I think. Plus gold coast airport seems to be less busy for stuff like TRS and of course less busy in general.

  • happychild100 on 14/09/2017 - 09:22

    $429 via Cairns from Brisbane or $319 direct from GC. Seems like odd pricing but now i'm keen to book!

  • squeelybot on 14/09/2017 - 10:34

    unless you only have carry on 7kg it works out $1298 return for 2 people with bags in March… i.e. $240 each way for 2 and doesnt look like I have the ability to select only 1 with baggage…either way disappointing

    • shakoo on 14/09/2017 - 10:52

      unless they've removed it, it's not very prominent on the booking page but there is an option to set it so that not all of the passengers on the booking have checked luggage.

    • alllieet on 15/09/2017 - 15:59

      You can select individual baggage. I just booked return for 2 people (+1 30kg luggage both ways) in March = $480pp. Pretty sweet deal.

  • ash2000 on 14/09/2017 - 10:47

    Just be warned if you're flying via the Gold Coast and only taking carry-on, they are extremely strict on weight allowance. You will likely have your carry on weighed twice (check in and prior to boarding).

    • ryu on 14/09/2017 - 13:06

      Even in Sydney, sometimes you can see a guy wandering around, volunteering to weigh your carry-on for free.

  • anth0888 on 14/09/2017 - 14:48

    I went Jetstar to Japan on the Melbourne to Tokyo direct flights two and a half years ago! The flight was lovely and even though now theres a stop over in cairns or Gold coast, the dreamliner plane is very quiet and has ok leg space.

    When I booked my flights were 200 aud each way (inc luggage etc) - as it was when Japan was starting to become trendy again, after the tsunami downturn.

    Also bear in mind when you land in Tokyo, Jetstar uses the new low cost terminal 3 - which is a walking distance from the main terminals and from trains to the CBD.

    I have heard that with jetstar japan flights, you have to buy them on the plan or bring your own???
    Does that mean, we bring our own food or buy at the airport and bring into the plane?

      no meals or luggage included besides 7kg carry on (strictly enforced). Bring your own food and add extra 15kgs each way for $80each way
