Frustrated Australians have been venting at Jetstar since the problems began late last week.
‘Jetstar flight from Bali to Sydney tonight cancelled. Next flight in four days, winning,’ one person posted on the Bali Bogans Facebook page.
‘On the way back from Bali my 12:45 flight has been rescheduled twice and if I don’t get to Melbourne tonight I’ll lose my job,’ another posted on Twitter.
A Jetstar spokesperson told NCANewswire some flights had been cancelled between Australia and Bali’s capital Denpasar due to ‘engineering requirements’.
