Surprisingly GOOD Domestic Flight with Jetstar | Gold Coast to Sydney | Jetstar Trip Report

G'Day, For the winter holidays, I'm escaping north for 10 days to spend some time abroad in Phuket, Thailand. Before I make my way overseas, I'm flying down to Sydney for my connection to Sydney. This flight was very smooth and efficient, which is a far cry from what Jetstar's reputation has made them out to be. Come along with me and see how Jetstar was able to pull off such a flight! Thanks and enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A little history on our Aircraft (VH-VGJ) - Victor Golf Juliet (VGJ) rolled off the production line at Toulouse n primer with the Jetstar tail in September 2010. It entered onto the Australian register as VH-VGJ on October 5th, and flew to Hamburg for interior fit-out in Mid-October. It completed one test flight at Toulouse before being ferried to Australia via Dubai and Singapore, landing in Melbourne (Tullamarine) on October 30th. It completed it's first revenue service two days later to Newcastle as JQ476. ~~~~~~~~ Flight Details ~~~~~~~~ Airline: Jetstar Airways Aircraft: Airbus A320-232 Registration: VH-VGJ Flight Number: JQ405 Flight Time: 1h 16m Seat: 6F From: Gold Coast, Queensland To: Sydney, New South Wales Date: 12th of June, 2024 ~~~~~~~~ Equipment ~~~~~~~~ Camera(s): Sony Cybershot DSC-HX60V Canon EOS M50 Mark ii Samsung Galaxy A32 (My phone) Lens(es): Canon EF-M 15-45mm Canon EF-M 50-200mm Microphone: Rode VideoMic GO with Deadcat Tripod: Benro T980 Fluid Head Tripod Editing Software: Movavi Video Suite Adobe Premiere Pro Phone Holder: Universal Mobile Window Mount ($5 at Kmart) ~~~~~~~~ Acknowledgement of Country ~~~~~~~~ I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which this video was filmed, and pay my respects to their Elders past and present.
