    Is this right? Jetstar qn...

    I am booked to come down to Melbs to meet with the lovely BB May mummies and babies (hooooooraaaaaay!!!) this weekend.
    I booked my flights a couple of months ago and back then Phoebe wasn't so heavy, so I just assumed I'd carry her all day. I therefore chose a Jetsaver Light ticket (no check-in luggage).
    I just rang them then to find out what it would cost me to bring a stroller. They informed me that they check on infant belongings for nothing (i.e. strollers, port-a-cots etc.)
    However, I'm not convinced the guy understood that I only have a jetsaver light ticket and am therefore not entitled to any luggage space in the hold?
    Does anyone know if the information I've been given is correct? Would they really let me check on a stroller for nothing if I've got a no-check-in-luggage ticket?

    Just going from memory here, but yes, I think that's right. We definitely took a stroller on our trip to Melb back in Jan. No extra cost for that.

    Without working there or being an expert I think you'll be ok!

    Yep, that'd be right.
    They carry your pram for free. We have done it before when we have paid for the allocated luggage and they don't count it in your allocated kg's.
    Depending on your stroller, prob wouldn't hurt to get it wrapped or packaged to avoid damage.

    Bub's don't get "charged" for their luggage, would cover prams/stollers, portacots, car seats

    yes, it sure is right. most airlines will allow a few things for bubs for free as you don't pay for them anywho. If you had booked a "no check in luggage" ticket for an over 2yr old then you would prob be charged or not allowed it. But she's free anyway.

    Hi,

    I flew with virgin blue a few weeks ago and yet you can check things for bubs for free. That doesn't count babies clothes though but on bpard you would be allowed ur 7kg or whatever they allow you for carry on andd your handbag and a nappy bag
