this company advertised one-way…actually acted another
this company advertised one-way non-stop flight from SG to Melbourne on Fiji Airways under SGD700. I felt it was reasonable since i had checked out Fiji Airways was a full carrier that offered in-flight meals and entertainment, so i proceeded to book for the daily flight out of Singapore on Sunday, 20th July 2025, 9pm.
The moment i made the booking confirmation, i received email confirmation of the flight and receipt. However, when i clicked on the booking number embedded within to find my booking on their site, it showed a different picture: no checked-in baggage provision, no inflight meal and entertainment .. these are inconsistent with a full carrier like Fiji Airways. I did not think much, so i proceeded to purchase the check-in baggage capacity with this company.
Later, i realised the tickets also did not come with seat selection, inflight meals and entertainment. When i clicked on their relevant links to make the additional purchases, i was brought to Jetstar website! Again, I did not think much as it was mentioned the Fiji Airways flight would be managed by Jetstar so i proceeded to add another $65 to the total ticket fees for 2 pax.
Then came the biggest shock of all: i received an alert mail from this company, literally at the last moment, on Sunday, 20th July, 11:36am to be precise .. the evening I was to fly off to Melbourne, that the flight had been cancelled! No reason was given, and no alternative arrangement made, just .. cancelled, period.
When i wrote to this company to understand more, the customer service officer simply directed me to Jetstar site for further help. That was it .. they would do no further. It was so irresponsible and I was left devastated, to our own demise. What would happen to our Aussie holidays now, with only less than 10 hours for me to react/scramble my own way out to Melbourne in order to keep my Aussie itinerary on schedule .. my heart was crying inside.
In the final analysis, this whole Fiji Airways flight thing was a scam and as this company had actually lured (kayak) customers to its sales campaign in a deceitful manner by fronting Fiji Airways over what was actually a Jetstar flight. I was cheated into having paid full carrier flight fees for budget starter flight tickets, where i would later separately add check-in baggage with this company, seat selection/inflight meal & entertainment purchases to the full carrier ticket prices.
To all innocent and honest customers out there, beware of this company and do not patronize them.
