If he keeps that record going, then I reckon in 5 years time he won't be flying with anyone!

Craig, I am afraid your brother would have been re-accommodated to another flight before he even knew about it.

JQ would have either offered a refund or offered an alternative flight upon his arrival.

There is not really any argument here...

Australia, You have a choice

in most cases I have seen/heard its all about the way you handle yourself. Yell scream swear... You will achieve very little. Be Calm yet assertive and in most cases you will achieve something

I actually noticed that both Jetstar Sydney-Cairns (and returns) flights were cancelled on Friday.

Did an aircraft go u/s perhaps?

Surely your brother was smart enough to take out travellers insurance to protect them considering it was a 'honeymoon' and a 'hotel was booked'?

I've had enough of all this bollocks.........go get the world's smallest violin someone.......Ray Rowe was heard playing it last when Nigel mentioned Ansett and Low Cost Carrier in the same breath!
