    Is it safe + good to fly with Jetstar?

    I've flown Jetstar interstate twice, and to Japan last month. It's really not that bad at all. The seats are quite comfortable. It just felt like any other plane. The only downside to the international flight is paying an extra $30 each way for food. It was the worst tasting plane food I'd ever...

    Are these books on 2007 booklist NEEDED??

    nah, it won't make much of a difference. The content of both editions are almost exactly the same. It's just that some page numbers will be different and it'd be a bit of a hassle to work out what pages your readings are on in your book.
