In Reply to: Jetstar - Starclass "NOT Business Class" posted by Louise_Geoff on Thursday, 22. February 2007 at 10:37 Bali Time:
Star Class offers a seat pitch of just 38 inches...that's about 5 or 6 inches better than economy, but a long way short of the average 50 - 55 inches you will experience in the biz class section of other airlines. Mind you, it should be acknowledged that Jet Star is not really trying position its product as a Biz class cabin. Its web site merely refers to it as a premium class cabin and is very upfront about what you get for your money. It appears as though it adds about $250 each way to fare and this puts it into the same court as Garuda Exec class. Garuda's exec class also is a long way short of the true biz class experience...the cabins and seats are looking a bit shabby, catering has fallen away over recent years, the seats are very roomy with lots of leg room, but not especially comfortable. In the end though, I still reckon Garuda offers excellent value for money and it's a pretty happy way to begin or end your Bali experience. Cheers - kevin
