First Jetstar international sale in 2 years [ends 30/10/21]

[Mattg]

Jetstar has released a bunch of sale fares on international routes, which it says is the first sale on international flights it has run in nearly 2 years. Sale running 26-30 October 2021.

Jetstar International Sale

If someone could explain to me why the sale fares from Melbourne to Singapore and coughet cost less than a flight to Auckland, or SYD-HNL costs less than SYD-NAN, I would be interested to know!

From Jetstar Newsroom:

Some of the incredible low fares include:

• Cairns to Osaka (Kansai) from $199^
• Darwin to Singapore from $109^
• Gold Coast (Coolangatta) to Queenstown from $165^
• Gold Coast (Coolangatta) to Tokyo (Narita) from $219^
• Melbourne (Tullamarine) to coughet from $149^
• Melbourne (Tullamarine) to Auckland from $175^
• Melbourne (Tullamarine) to Singapore from $149^
• Sydney to Honolulu from $179^
• Sydney to Fiji from $199^
• Sydney to coughet from $149^

MEL-HKT is $237 return in Y - now that's a pretty good deal IMHO, even for Jetstar. The required COVID tests will probably cost more than that!

There are some decent J fares as well, e.g. MEL-HNL for $549 or SYD-SGN for $499 or MEL-SIN for $449.

Yeah... I saw the club jetstar prices... $450 or something one way in business class to HKT. You can join the club as part of the booking process... $55. The only thing is that you can't get discounts on the max bundle with membership... at least that I could see.

Looking at the seat maps for the first few couple of flights the prime seats in row 1 had mostly gone. So there was some pretty immediate demand.

MEL-HKT is available for $499 one-way in J, without Club Jetstar membership. But if you want a Max Bundle, it's $1,079 one-way - more than double the price! Those are some expensive status credits...

HKT-MEL is $438 in J.

I was looking at them last night -maybe that was the 'pre-sale' period for Club members?

Tempted... but 8 hrs is a really long time on JQ.

Yes, the sale opened to Club Jetstar members at midday yesterday and then everyone else at midnight.

Wow…. some incredible fares there… I’ve just booked US with QF though…. Decisions…

I wonder if I am the only Qlder who is angry that people can fly to Fiji RT for $400 from SYD and we are still stuck here.

Plus one

I’m furious about how slow the vaccination rollout has been here too.

I couldn't see anything under $999 for business SYD-BKK, which is quite a bit up on pre-covid.

Was I missing something?

Looks like Economy sale only...
