Jetstar.com Bike Fees and Policies

Jetstar will accept your bicycle within your baggage allowance, but you will be charged an Oversize Item fee of $25 AUD / NZD if your bike box is longer than 100 cm. The easiest way to do so is to add your "bulky item" via Manage my Booking on the Jetstar website.

Keep in mind that your bicycle will count toward your total baggage weight allowance, so be sure your ticket includes enough weight allowance, or to purchase enough weight allowance, so that your bike box and suitcase all fit within your total weight allowance - otherwise a steep per KG fee will be charged for excess weight.

When packing your bike, keep in mind that your bike box may not weigh more than 32 kg / 70 lbs, even if you have purchased a higher total weight allowance.

Bicycles will not be accepted for carriage unless they are suitably packed in a Bike Box.

Jetstar does not provide Bike boxes at the airport, so it is your responsibility to obtain one before your travel date.

The bike must be packed in the following condition:
Tyres must be deflated.
Pedals must be removed.
Handle bars must be fixed parallel to the frame.
If the bicycle's length exceeds 180cm, the front wheel should be removed and fixed next to the rear wheel, within the pack.

If you're travelling with bulky items, make sure you arrive at the airport when check in opens for your flight. All bulky items must be packed appropriately in accordance with the guidelines, before being presented at check-in.
