luggage fee

I caught a Jetstar flight last Thursday from Melb to Hobart - gate 27 flight info kept changing confusing many passengers - then it was announced the flight to Hobart would be boarding - and as people approached the entrance passengers carry on bags were weighed including handbags. If over 7kg total they were ushered over to another counter to pay a $50 fine and offending bag was added to checked baggage. This only applied to the first quarter of the passengers - including myself - as then the weighing machine was removed as the staff member went to attend to something else. Then passengers were kept in a queue for about 20-25 mins many of them elderly and struggling to stand in the under air-conditioned atmosphere of the Qantas terminal 2 gate27 area. the boarding info at gate 27 kept changing and many passengers were now no longer clear if we were even in the right queue. Once we were eventually ushered onto the plane as as already mentioned there were a number of elderly passengers - I was asked by the Jetstar personnel to assist the elderly passengers with bags etc to get on the plane - of course I don't mind helping - but isn't that their job!!! once on the plane also under air-conditioned we were kept on the tarmac for an additional 30 mins as they electronically started the plane and refuelled or emptied the toilets with this big tube that I could see my windown seat.

i will never fly Jetstar again.
