“You are the worst!”: Sunrise presenter Sam Armytage snaps at Jetstar for poor service
Sunrise presenter Sam Armytage has launched a scathing attack against budget airline Jetstar for its “rude staff” and extra charges to overweight baggage.
The presenter shared the experience on her Instagram, where she explained that she spent $700 for last-minute flights to Queensland for a funeral.
Upon her flight home, Armytage was shocked to learn that she was forced to pay an extra charge for overweight baggage travelling home.
“@jetstaraustralia you are the worst! Paid $700 for last minute flights to Queensland for a funeral … Then (was) charged $60 extra at gate home for same amount of carry-on as we flew up with yesterday. Go figure?!?!” she wrote angrily to her followers.
“Will definitely choose @qantas or @virginaustralia next time. Every time,” she declared.
The tirade continued with complaints against the lack of legroom and the “rude staff”.
“Not to mention how rude the staff are while they’re charging you extra … Leg-room shot …,” she wrote in a follow-up post.
It turns out that Armytage wasn’t alone in her experiences, as many of her followers sent her private messages sharing their issues with Jetstar.
“I was 180g over and they charged me $60. I was gutted as I literally took no clothes so I could take my nursing books to study, I even tried to explain to the lady and she didn’t care. Have never flown (with) them again!”
“They’re a nightmare – vowed I’d never fly with them again,” another follower said.
Despite Armytage promising never to fly with Jetstar again and vowing to fly with Qantas or Virgin, Jetstar is wholly owned by the Qantas Group.
