After the initial domestic service, is there a possibility Jetstar will operate
Mel - Auckland by April 2014?

This sector was to be operated by QF, but has since changed to JQ213
(Booked on this flight as we depart for our Honeymoon to Bora Bora )

As part of the B787 introduction, Jetstar is hosting a "Dream Terminal" in Cairns, Gold Coast, Melbourne and Sydney.

The terminal provides visitors with an authentic Dreamliner experience and includes seat displays, interactive window and giveaways.

B-3 is the 3rd Boeing test flight, C-1 is the first time with a JQ crew handling the aircraft!

If the delivery date is early October, I just wondering has there been any schedules about the training and domestic flights yet?

Thanks.

Nothing on the Jetstar site last time I looked.

They are keeping things very quite.

No seat maps as yet.

Expect the big reveal on arrival.

Details will be released soon.
