This Huge 48-Hour Jetstar Sale Is Offering Free Fares Home From Hawaii, Japan, Thailand and NZ
Pay for your flight heading away, come home without paying a cent as part of the airline's latest 'return for free' sale.
Sometimes, vacations are the result of weeks, months and years of planning. At other times, they simply come about because an airline has cheap flights on offer. Both are perfectly acceptable ways to lock in a getaway, and you've likely had trips happen thanks to each — however, if you're ready to book your next getaway now based on Jetstar's latest specials, the airline is doing a big 48-hour sale with cheap fares to Hawaii, Thailand, Japan, Vietnam and New Zealand, among other destinations.
Actually, the Australian carrier is doing discounted flights across Australia as well as to international spots — but venturing to other countries is on everyone's must-do list again after the past couple of years.
Wherever you'd like to head, the key part of this sale is coming home without paying for the flight. Yes, Jetstar's 'return for free' sale is back again.
Running from 12am AEDT on Thursday, October 27–11.59pm AEDT on Friday, October 28, 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.
On the list: fares from Sydney to Honolulu from $479 return, from Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh City from $339 return, from Cairns to Osaka from $444 return and from the Gold Coast to Queenstown from $270 return.
Locally, options include Sydney to the Gold Coast for $88 return and Melbourne to Adelaide from $104 — among other routes, with Darwin and Perth legs also on the list.
Tickets in the sale are for trips across a variety of dates depending on the destination. Fancy heading to the newly reopened Japan before summer hits? Skipping Australia's next winter by jetting over to Hawaii? They're among your choices.
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.
Also, if you're a Club Jetstar member, you'll get the jump on the sale — with access from 12pm AEDT on Wednesday, October 26 until midnight.
Jetstar's 'return for free' sale runs from 12am AEDT on Thursday, October 27–11.59pm AEDT on Friday, October 28 — or until sold out.
