On a recent trip across Australia, maritime historian and travel writer Chris Frame, who stands nearly two meters tall, tested the comfort of flying with Jetstar. Known for its budget-friendly fares, Jetstar was chosen due to its significantly lower prices compared to Qantas or Virgin Australia.
Frame's main concern was whether he could find a comfortable seat on Jetstar's A321NEO aircraft, given the standard seat pitch of 73.7 cm (29 inches) and width of 45.7 cm (18 inches). His priority was securing extra legroom and flexibility in booking.
"I hadn’t flown Jetstar for over a decade and had no real expectations of how the booking process worked," Frame noted. He found the website straightforward and opted for the Flex Plus fare, which offered seating flexibility and Qantas Frequent Flyer points.
