Jetstar's Latest Big Sale Is Offering Free Fares Home From Tokyo, Phuket, Queenstown, Uluru and More

If movies have taught us anything, it's that there's nothing quite like a romantic vacation with your significant other. Obviously, real life has taught us that as well. And with Valentine's Day upon us for 2023, Jetstar has dropped a hefty sale to help make that amorous dream come true — another round of its popular 'return for free' sale, no less.

The airline is doing discounted flights across Australia and to a range of international destinations, including in Thailand, Japan and New Zealand. Wherever you'd like to head, the key part of this sale is coming home without paying for the flight, making your holiday oh-so-much cheaper for you and your special someone.

Running from Valentine's Day through till 11.59pm AEDT on Monday, February 20, or until sold out, it really is as straightforward as it sounds. Whatever flights you opt for as part of the sale, you'll get the return fare for nothing.

There is a twist this time around, however. Jetstar's current return-for-free sale is focused on holiday packages, rather than just airfares. So, you'll be nabbing your flights and accommodation in the one transaction, and scoring those return fares for nothing in the process.

On the destinations list: Tokyo, Phuket, Queenstown, Uluru, The Whitsundays and more. Out of Melbourne, flights and five nights at Nap Patong Phuket starts at $751 per person, for instance, while heading from Sydney to Daydream Island Resort for three nights kicks in from $784 per person.

Deals include staying everywhere from Tokyo's Hotel Gracery Shinjuku, aka the Japanese capital's famous Godzilla hotel, through to mountainview resort options aplenty in NZ.

Packages in the sale are for trips across a variety of dates depending on the destination, but are generally focused on mid-July—late November this year. Inclusions also vary per location and hotel, but span daily breakfast, dinner and late checkout.

There are a few rules, as is always the case. You have to the same departure and arrival ports for the two fares — so you can go from Melbourne to Honolulu and back, for instance, but can't return via another place or to another city. And, the sale fares don't include checked baggage, so you'll need to travel super light or pay extra to take a suitcase.

Jetstar's 'return for free' sale runs until 11.59pm AEDT on Monday, February 20 — or until sold out.
