00:03From February 2nd, you can still travel on a Jetstar flight without having to pay extra for your carry-on
00:10baggage.
00:10But it will have to come in a very small bag that will fit under the seat in front of
00:15you.
00:15Something like a laptop bag, a handbag or a small backpack.
00:21Jetstar says it's not so concerned from February 2nd about the weight of those bags.
00:25It's all about the dimensions.
00:26Now, if you still have a bigger bag and you want to use the overhead lockers, you can do so.
00:30But you're going to have to pay extra for what's called priority carry-on.
00:34This will give you 10 kilos across two bags and allows you to board a little bit earlier than those
00:40not paying for their bags.
00:42It's all about keeping the fares low for people that travel all the time.
00:45So, if that keeps the fares low and people don't have luggage and they get it cheaper, then that's cool.
00:49I'm not very happy about that. You know, you might be choosing another airline in future.
00:54And the domestic already cost is big high, so we are not happy to pay for that.
00:59I think it's ridiculous. You have enough trouble with the airline service as it is.
01:04Now, we checked this morning, for example, for a flight from Brisbane to Melbourne from February 2nd.
01:10The extra baggage is going to cost about $35 each way.
01:14But the cost will vary depending on the length of the flight.
01:18It can be as little as $25 or as much as $52 for an international flight.
01:23Our new carry-on baggage model provides more choice to customers while helping to keep Jetstar's fares low.
01:29You only pay for what you need.
01:31I think Jetstar does a lot of these things to keep the airfares low in the end of the day,
01:36because that's why people choose them, and to be more efficient.
01:40It will be interesting to see whether customers do indeed shop around.
01:44But we know we're limited with options here in Australia.
01:47Now let's go for a bit more.
01:47So let's put the airfare low in Australia.
01:48We need to push the airfare low in Australia.
01:49Not to our mouth.
01:49Well, for the airfare low.
