Keeping you safe every step of your journey
Before you fly
Flying well starts before you even get to the airport. With all the key information at your fingertips from the get-go, you'll be better prepared for an enjoyable, hassle-free trip.
Pre-departure emails.
Sent in the lead up to your departure, our emails explain what you can expect during your trip with us. If you’re travelling internationally, you’ll also get reminders to check government requirements and prepare any documents that are needed for travel.
COVID-19 Help Hub.
We’ve created a 'one-stop information shop' answering all your questions about travelling with us in these changing times.
At the airport
From check in to boarding, we’ve introduced a number of health and safety measures to limit contact and provide extra peace of mind at the airport.
Contactless check-in and bag drop: Online check-in is available for selected flights. If you're unable to check in online, you’ll need to check in and drop your bags at the airport.
Contactless payments.
To reduce contact and help you get on your way quicker, we have gone cashless at all Australian and New Zealand airports. We accept card and contactless payments (all of which are fee-free).
Self-scanning of boarding passes.
To further reduce shared contact, we ask that you scan your own boarding pass. For best results, please ensure your screen brightness is set to high.
Social distancing
is encouraged throughout the airport wherever possible.
Face masks.
Face masks may be required at some airport terminals depending on government requirements.
On the plane
Sit back, relax and rest assured: not only is the risk of in-flight transmission very low, but our onboard wellbeing measures are designed to further protect your health while flying.
Face Masks. Some destinations require you to wear a mask during your flight. Ensure you check the latest government requirements before you travel. Please bring your own mask. Masks are also available prior to boarding as part of our complimentary Fly Well packs, which can be collected as you board or onboard.
Seating.
While you’ll most likely be seated next to someone, the seating configuration on board our aircraft provides a natural barrier, as passengers do not face each other. We also ask that you keep your movement around the cabin to a minimum.
Cabin air.
Hospital-grade HEPA air filters are fitted on all Jetstar aircraft, which remove 99.9% of all particles including viruses. Cabin air is also refreshed every few minutes, ensuring the highest possible quality.
Enhanced cleaning.
We’ve adopted even higher standards of cleaning on board, with a disinfectant effective against coronaviruses and a focus on frequently touched surfaces. Our team members are trained in the latest hygiene protocols.
In-flight catering
All your favourite hot meals and snacks are back! With our modified card-handling procedures, you can buy on board with confidence. (Or pre-order to ensure you get the meal of your choice).
