Jetstar 787-8 Business Class Melbourne to Gold Coast – First day of operation



Prior to the global Covid-19 outbreak, Jetstar used its B787 Dreamliner from major cities on the east coast to popular holiday destinations across Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, China, Singapore and Hawaii. Since the beginning of 2021, with international border still remain closed there has been a massive upswing of domestic air travel in Australia, in response Jetstar decided to use its Dreamliner on domestic operations.

On 1 June 2021, despite Melbourne is in its 4th lockdown, Jetstar still decided to operate 2 787-8 return flights to Gold Coast. Jetstar’s 787-8 features 3 rows of business class seats, what does it look like on domestic operations? Let’s find out in this video.

    Hi Rory, love your channel, I'm a new subscriber. I love your train videos. Have you tried the Savannahlander? I have, I'm sure you will love it!!

    Just found your channel! I love how detailed your videos are. These are details I want to know before I go anywhere, definitely an underrated channel!

    Nice trip report! It's always great to fly on a wide-body in domestic flight although the IFE of this plane was not very responsive. The price you paid was quite good. In Vietnam, we can fly on an A359 or a 789 or a 78X between SGN and HAN with a price about $50.

    It's sad to see the terminal and aircraft so quiet but it's definitely a feature of the times. Nice and in-depth review of the JQ product. Really enjoyed it!

    What an awesome flight! Only 16 passengers, it would be so good even in the economy section. Just wondering if attaching your light to the IFE screen affected its responsiveness in some way? I've had one short flight on a 787 & found the screen very good.

    I don’t understand why Jetstar uses wide body aircraft for domestic were they could bye a 737 for 3 times cheaper then a 787 and be cheaper tho run
    Although good review
