A couple of things I noticed when booking on the Jet* site.
Firstly, you can't choose hand luggage to Bali and return with checked in luggage (optional extras must be the same both ways). I think this also applies to meals and the 'comfort pack'.
From Perth also, I opted out of meals (@$19 each way) x four of us. Not worth it for a short flight but each to their own. Ditto for comfort pack.
Secondly, once you progress to 'seat selection' you can't change method of payment. I was going to pay from credit card then noticed there was a $10 surcharge per ticket for doing so. I tried to amend method of payment to bank deposit but the system came up with a message to say that change at that stage was not possible. I ended up paying an extra $40 for the transaction needlessly.
Lastly, I printed from the screen once I had completed my booking as a reference until the 'E-ticket' arrived in my email box. (The booking system asks for an email address early on). You will need to print this and take along to the airport with passport.
The email comes very shortly after booking has been completed so you have peace of mind very quickly.
Most of the cheaper fares are non-refundable though I think many are changeable for another date (with an added cost) so consider taking out your travel insurance after booking so you are covered should unforseen circumstances arise.
Hope this has been of some use.
