Jetstar to launch long-haul budget flights

First of all, will you ever consider taking budget airlines for flights that's more than 5 hours? Having to stuck in the crampy restricted space really put me off. Not to mention when you have a big size traveller siting right next to you.

New budget service is expected to commence from Singapore's Changi airport late this year. Jetstar, the low-cost offshoot of Australian flag-carrier Qantas will launch long-haul flights from Singapore to Australia, North Asia and Europe to tap on growing demand. This is a good news for travellers here who prefer long-haul flights that are easy on their wallets.

Being a tourist hub, Singapore has a “strong appetite” for low-cost long-haul services, and Jetstar is expecting travellers here to be “really responsive” with their new destinations as they are stepping up to cater to the demand.
