\u201cThey say it\u2019s your responsibility, how you stay, how you survive, and what you do. It has nothing to do with Jetstar.\u201d<\/p>\n
He claimed that because of the weather, he and his family have no other way back home and have had to borrow money in order to find a place to stay for the next few nights. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are the passengers, it\u2019s their responsibility to make sure they\u2019re taking us safely, but it doesn\u2019t mean you just leave us here in a situation where we financially struggle to stay or pay or anything. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are their customer who booked in advance, they cancelled it, so, they need to provide us accommodation and the rest of the costs as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Strong winds led to flights across the country being cancelled today and has impacted passengers across several airlines, including Jetstar.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe appreciate how frustrating this is for Mr Sonavane and those he\u2019s travelling with,\u201d Jetstar said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to get them all on their way as soon as possible. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been closely examining our schedule and this afternoon we added more than 1100 seats across six additional flights, including an extra flight from Queenstown to Auckland tomorrow.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur customer care team will reach out to assist Mr Sonavane with the new flights.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jetstar said customers who have been impacted by recent cancellations should visit its website for further updates on travel and help managing their bookings.<\/p>\n
