Jetstar Airways Reviews :  PAGE | 1 | 2 |

Star Class is more like Premium Economy. Seats are pretty comfortable with seat pitch at 38 inches. There is enough recline and leg rest to be able to sleep but getting in and out of the seat is a little troublesome, especially when the seat in front is in the recline position. Row 1 is probably the best, as there is no seat in front of you and it feels like you have more legroom. There is no in-seat entertainment so a portable video player is provided. This is fine except it's bulky and there is no place to put it when you're having a meal.

Star Class (OOL to KIX return) seats are comfortable for a 9hr day flight, Recline is adequate, some problems getting in and out if forward seat is reclined as well. Main issue is on a night flight the seat does not really make the flight anything more than adequate comfort and sleeping is not really possible unless you're someone who can sleep anywhere due to it being a narrow seat with limited recline/leg rest movement. Some cut price airlines give better seats with low service, but Jetstar's Star Class seems to offer a better service experience and not an overly special seat.

SYD to HNL return using Jetstar Starclass. The outbound trip was overnight. The seats are really the equivalent of premium economy in other airlines rather than being a full business class product. Accordingly, whilst they have greater pitch and recline than economy class, they do not have the space or features of other airlines business classes. The use of freestanding AVOD units rather than having them built into the seat backs further restricts useful space, particularly during mealtimes. The relatively small seat pitch makes access difficult, particularly when the occupant in front has their seat reclined. However, for a discount airline of moderate sector lengths the seats are adequate for the price.
