Budget airline Jetstar has ranked dead last in a survey of international airlines, losing out to more than 70 rivals from eight different countries.The international survey collected 11,273 responses from eight different countries, and was coordinated by 10 consumer advocacy groups including Euroconsumers, Consumers International and CHOICE. Jetstar ranked 73rd for overall satisfaction, earning it the lowest available rating of one star. The airline also had the second highest percentage of flight delays, which on average were almost four hours long.
I just heard this on the news! Terrible!

Same, every flight Iāve had on Jetstar has been perfect (and Iāve had around 10). No delays, good service, everything was average.

Iām 100% sure Lion Air is far worse than Jetstar in matter of passengers satisficationā¦ (cough Delays, Last Minute Cancellation, Lost Baggage, etc cough). So I think JQ doesnāt deserve this title

I donāt think itās fair either, Tigerair would definitely be behind too. They need more airlines in this survey to call Jetstar the worldās worst airline. I think they mean the worldās worst 3 star airline.

Haha, I am currently finding this active post that you have previously published pretty hilarious for some odd reason in my opinion as of right now!
Why am I not surprised that a budget airline ends up with the titleā¦
There is no such thing as worst airline in the world. People have different expectations from different airlines. If I paid much less for my ticket, Iād be much more receptive to having worse seats, not as good service and etc. If I had a huge delay on a supposed 5-star airline that caused me to lose my job (extreme case here), I donāt care what you would say about how soft the carpets in the lounge are, this airline is now the āworst airline in the worldā to me.
Jetstar, as stated above is just another budget airline. Personally my experience with them (or at least Jetstar Asia) has been okay, nothing special to report.
Besides, do you really expect that much when travelling with a budget airline? Just bring a good book, pop on the QC25s and just hunker down for the next few hours, I do it and so far its been quite bearable for me!
However, that said, a list of the worst 5-10 airlines, not ranked in order would probably be more fair.

The thing is, I think most people making these reviews are expecting more from a low-cost airline, or donāt even know that Jetstar is a low cost! They get what they pay for. You can fly $200 with Virgin Australia or $80 with Jetstar.

Exactly! People complain about the fares but donāt change their expectations accordingly.
They just assume all airlines will give them the exact same service just for different prices.
Iāve done all I can to educate the people around me about this, luckily their not as bad as others Iāve metā¦
