The airline is launching its giant annual Christmas sale, giving you a great excuse to grab that suitcase and get excited about the getaway that'll help you recover from the festive season.
Running from 12am NZT on Thursday, December 8 till 11.59pm NZT on Monday, December 12— or until sold out, if everything gets snapped up earlier — the sale's list of destinations is impressive just like the supremely affordable prices. Those starting fares cover Wellington to Christchurch (from $28) and Auckland to Sydney (from $139), but the full list includes Auckland to Christchurch from $31, Wellington to Queenstown from $36, Auckland to Dunedin from $42, Queenstown to Gold Coast from $155 and Christchurch to Melbourne from $135.
You will need to be happy to wait till around mid-2023 for your post-Christmas vacation, however. Dates for sale flights vary depending on the departure and arrival points, but expect to travel between early May and mid-September.
There are a few rules, as is always the case. All sale fares are one-way, and they don't include checked baggage — so you'll need to travel super light or pay extra to take a suitcase.
Want your flights for even cheaper — as in free? Of course you do. So keep an eye on Jetstar's Instagram page on Thursday — it'll be posting clues to a secret location you can head to and snap up travel vouchers ranging from $100 to $2,500. Find more details on that here.
