“We got caught up in it last night, the next direct flight to Sydney is next Friday, six days after our original flight,” one man tweeted.
Another said: ‘Thank you Jetstar, on the way back from Bali my 12:45 flight has been rescheduled twice and if I don’t get to Melbourne tonight I will lose my job.’
