I don't think it matters how often you fly, the window seat is still the bestest. I always have to give it to a small these days, sigh

Just from my recent Jetstar experience - don't expect the staff to be friendly or helpful, do expect a senior officer with an attitude, do expect cramped seats and do expect the guy a couple of rows back to chunder in the toilet....others may have had good Jetstar experiences, mine were not, even though the flight was only 1/4 full the passengers still seemed an inconvenience.
Virgin blue on the other hand were lovely and that flight was full up.

No, you don't need authority for any kind of medication. I usually take my Ventolin out of my bag for security screening, because it's an aerosol, but some airports care, some don't, depends who you see on the day and how long the queues are. And that's onyl because it's an aerosol. DH takes some fairly hardcore medication and has never even seen a raised eyebrow. If you had 5 cartons of Sudafed, might be a different story, but honestly, nobody is going to worry about your pills.
Oh, and the later in the day you fly, the mroe likely Jetstar (and Virgin) flights are to be late, because of their quick turnaround time for each plane between flights.
Window seats = not so awesome when you've got someone dancing on your bladder! But yeah, I always prefer them.

Yes to all.
No issues - and you can use your camera at ANY time, you do not need to turn it off with other electronic devices as it does not transmit anything. Same with your MP3 player.
WRT meds - nobody gives a fig lol You are not flying international, so it is a non issue and in fact they have no right to even know you have them.
Happy trails.

im not familiar with the medication ur talking about but after working at one of the mentioned airlines in the thread if u have to carry sharps (ie ANY type of needles) u will need a letter from ur Dr....
its always a good idea to carry ur script incase u get a checkin staff memeber who wants to be difficult

Also if you are flying "light" carry on only, dont just go to the automatic check in booths..DD (4) and I had a flight back from Brisbane to Melb with one of us on one side of an isle and her on the other. Wasnt such a pain for me as for the other 2 passengers sitting with her were mightly peed off.

Jetstar ask you not to use them until you get the OK though. My DH carries on about this too, saying it's unnecessary, but it's really not. They ask for them to be switched off during take-off and landing - the most high risk times of the flight, where you really don't want to be distracted by a camera, or unable to hear instructions from cabin crew because you have an mp3 player on.
