Another MAFS star rages at Jetstar for common problem with airline - after Jacqui Burfoot accused cabin crew of stealing her partner's $800 jacket
Former Married at First Sight bride Jamie Marinos has taken to social media to blast Jetstar. The 28-year-old marketing executive posted a selfie video to TikTok to complain about a lengthy delay on a recent Sydney to Melbourne flight. Declaring she was not a fan of the budget airline and preferred Jetstar's competitor Virgin Australia, Jamie complained that the money she saved on her journey 'cost' her time. 'Jetstar is cheaper,' she said during her one-and-a-half-minute rant, comparing the two carriers. 'But what they take from you is your time. And you can't get that back.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Jamie went on to list a set of grievances which appeared to relate to past experiences with the airline, including cancelled flights and frequent delays. She also noted that Jetstar passengers are charged for excess baggage as the carrier insists on a 20-kilogram limit. Filming a selfie in what appears to be Melbourne Airport, Jamie revealed she spent two hours in Sydney past her scheduled departure time. 'On the Sydney website, it said it was 45 minutes late,' she continued. 'They did not message me until five minutes after the original boarding time. 'You're going to gate-keep this information, Jetstar? You ain't going to tell me that I ain't getting on a friggin plane for another hour and a half?' Jamie added that Jetstar had attempted to explain the delay to her flight. '[They gave] every other excuse under the sun,' she said. 'Every other plane was leaving - no dramas, just mine. So I'm like spare me your excuses and your lies.' She also complained that Jetstar's port in Melbourne was 'too far' from the luggage pick-up and whinged about the menu available to passengers on her recent flight. 'I was annoyed, I wanted a ham and cheese toastie,' she said. However, Jamie finished her outburst with a surprising compliment for the airline. 'I made it here safely - that is all you can really ask for at the end of the day and the staff were really my God,' she said. Daily Mail Australia has approached Jetstar for comment. Jamie's post has attracted 185 comments since she shared her experience on the weekend - with many followers joining in to slam the airline. 'I don't think I've ever had a Jetstar flight that wasn't cancelled or delayed,' commented one user. 'Facts girl! You get what you pay for hey,' added another. Jamie showed a sense of humour about her experience in the thread. 'I love how dramatic I am, yet I'm so supported,' she said. It comes after another former MAFS star, Jacqui Burfoot, was slammed for accusing Jetstar of stealing her partner, Clint Rice's, jacket. Burfoot took to TikTok earlier this month to recount an ordeal while flying with the budget airline. 'Clint and I flew Jetstar. We never pick Jetstar, we are not fans of Jetstar because they're just budget. They do things poorly,' Jacqui said. Jacqui went on to explain that when she and Clint recently caught a flight with the airline, she was wearing her partner's Hugo Boss jacket, worth 'somewhere between $400 and $800', to keep her legs warm. 'The flight attendant came over and said, "Hey, we need to put your jacket away, can I please take that jacket from you?" And I was like, "Yeah, sure. Fine,"' she recalled. The reality bride said the couple forgot about Clint's jacket until they arrived at their hotel. Already miffed about leaving the jacket behind, Jacqui became enraged when she called Jetstar to report the garment missing - and was told it was not in lost property. This did not sit well with Jacqui, who then accused the cabin crew of taking off with Clint's jacket. Jacqui's rant drew a flurry of comments from followers, with many slamming the reality star for suggesting the airline would pilfer the article of clothing. One user summed up the sentiment of many with: 'Your jacket, your problem.' Jacqui returned to TikTok the following day to share a shock twist in the mile-high ordeal. This time, Clint also featured in the clip, and he was happy to report the jacket had been found.

IndiGo Expands into Long-Haul Routes with Jetstar Codeshare Agreement
The IndiGo–Jetstar codeshare shows just how much the aviation scene in Asia is changing. On one side, you have IndiGo growing quickly and getting ready for long-haul routes. On the other, Jetstar is pulling back and sticking to what it knows best. One month after announcing the closure of its Singapore subsidiary, Jetstar has inked a new codeshare deal with IndiGo. It's a move that connects two major low-cost carriers. The new agreement allows IndiGo passengers to book trips to 14 destinations in Australia and New Zealand on Jetstar flights through IndiGo's platform. While Qantas, Jetstar's parent company, already has a codeshare with IndiGo, this new arrangement adds direct access to Jetstar's low-cost routes in Australasia, connecting via Singapore, Bangkok, and Phuket. It comes at a time when IndiGo is steadily shifting from a regional airline to one with serious global ambitions. Jetstar Asia's Exit Jet
