Grab Your Suitcases: Jetstar Will Soon Fly Direct From Brisbane to Tokyo, Osaka and Seoul
At sale prices, Brisbanites can expect to head to Japan from $279 and to South Korea from $289.
Start making holiday plans: that dream trip to Osaka, pandemic-delayed return visit to Tokyo or bucket-list getaway in Seoul just got cheaper. From October 2023, Jetstar will start rolling out three new international routes direct from Brisbane, heading to those three cities. Across the trio of legs, the airline will cater for almost 500,000 new seats each year out of the Queensland capital.
Jetstar already flies to Japan from the Sunshine State, just from Cairns and the Gold Coast rather than Brisbane; however, that's finally changing. Come Tuesday, October 31, the Brisbane–Narita service will take to the skies, running five return flights a week. From Sunday, December 3, that'll increase to daily services.
Two notes: everyone needs to do Halloween in Tokyo at least once; and, as part of the change, Jetstar will stop flying from the Gold Coast to Narita from Sunday, October 29, focusing on the Brisbane route instead.
For folks keen on cherry blossoms in Osaka, Jetstar will boast four return legs a week from Brisbane from Friday, February 2, 2024. The new Seoul flights will take off the day prior, on Thursday, February 1, 2024, with three return services weekly.
To celebrate the Japan and South Korean additions to its Brisbane destinations, the airline is also hosting a 48-hour sale until 11am on Wednesday, June 21. At sale prices, Brisbanites can expect to head to Osaka from $279, Tokyo from $299 and to Seoul from $289 — all one-way and excluding checked baggage.
The budget carrier's existing routes from Brisbane to Bali and Auckland are also picking up, doing ten return services to Denpasar weekly (up from seven) from Thursday, February 1, 2024, plus daily return trips to NZ (up from four a week) from Sunday, October 29, 2023.
Jetstar's extra services out of Brissie stem from a partnership with Brisbane Airport, with support from Queensland's Attracting Aviation Investment Fund (AAIF), which is joint Government and airport initiative to help kick the state's visitor economy back into gear.
Jetstar's new international routes from Brisbane will start rolling out from October 2023. Jetstar's 48-hour sale to announce the new flights runs until 11am on Wednesday, June 21 — head to the airline's website for more details.
