‘@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.
Sam told her followers she has no intention of using the airline ever again, and will instead fly with one of its competitors.
‘Will definitely choose @qantas or @virginaustralia next time. Every time,’ she added.
