All flights include 7kg carry on.

  1. Click the button next to your preferred destination below.
  2. Update the number of passengers you’d like to book for.
  3. Make sure you select a ‘return’ booking.
  4. Choose your preferred departure date. This can be any date.
  5. Choose your return date. This can only be within the Travel Periods listed below.
  6. Look for a return flight with a $0 price and labelled "Sale" (may not be available on all flights or days).

Note: Early access is available now for Jetstar Club, while public access begins at midnight.
Note 2: Many aggregators will probably find OTAs using this to provide even slightly lower prices, if you're willing to search around.
Note 3: True ozbargainers who only want to go one way will find an ozbargainer going the other way and split the single ticket ;)

        https://www.bitre.gov.au/statistics/aviation/otp_month

        Jetstar recorded the highest percentage of cancellations (at 9.5 per cent) during the month, followed by Virgin Australia Regional Airlines (at 4.6 per cent), Qantas (at 2.5 per cent), QantasLink (at 2.4 per cent), Rex Airlines (at 2.3 per cent) and Virgin Australia (at 1.9 per cent).

  • watwatwat on 26/10/2022 - 13:17

    I am going to present a contrarian view to those in this thread. I like Jetstar and the value they provide, and I respect their business model.

    Do they have a small fleet in order to offer these super cheap prices? Yes. Does that results in delays and some cancellations? Yes, but I hope that impacted travellers are offered or can find a reasonable alternate to resume their impacted leg(s).

    The prices they have offered in many of these sales over the years have been excellent. Of course, I did learn to play the game and I travel with no checked in luggage and no extras etc. (where Jetstar makes more margin on these services).

    If their fleet continues to experience technical problems, I would expect that the problems could be rectified more quickly in the future (with improvements to staffing and supply chain logistics) or they would acquire more planes.

    • sidoz on 26/10/2022 - 13:32
      +4

      Agree, but i think it will take quite some time. They have over-reached and grossly mismanaged to end up in their current mess especially for international routes. Big problems there.

      • watwatwat on 26/10/2022 - 13:34
        +1

        True but what alternatives are there? So far prices everywhere for flights seem very high.

        • sidoz on 26/10/2022 - 13:40

          Yeah, really depends on where you want to travel. But definitely look at foreign airline deals if can be patient, or use points redemptions. But you're spot on, its very limited options wise still. I only realized last week just how woefully limited international options still are when trying to book a flight from Thailand back to Sydney for next year…. literally only Jetstar direct a few times a week, or code shares via Singapore/Malaysia. Still haven't booked it. I would normally of just booked Jetstar but their international routes needs a drastic improvement.

      As a contrarian view to your contrarian view, Jetstar is owned by Qantas and is reported to have a lower operating cost than Virgin airlines (which means there is plenty of profit margin available to hire more staff).

      Rather than lower prices on Qantas flights, Qantas operates a bare bones service specifically to frustrate Virgin's attempt at competition. If Virgin disappears from a route Jetstar will also be removed.

      Their "Technical problems" are intentional

      A small fleet? It's the same size as Virgin's. I don't think you know what you're talking about.

      • watwatwat on 26/10/2022 - 15:51

        And sir, how many service international destinations?

        That link says 11 787 and that sounds about right.

        They have 11 planes but at a particular point in time, many of them had technical problems.

        • Techie4066 on 26/10/2022 - 15:55

          What's the point you're drawing? The majority of their routes are domestic and many international routes are only flown on the A320 to New Zealand and Bali. It's not like they're flying twice daily from each capital to Honolulu, Japan or Thailand is it? The BITRE statistics aren't just international flights…

          It's a terrible showing on Jetstar's part to have that many 787s out of service and have them in that state for so long. VOZ's track record when they flew their 77Ws to the West Coast of the US was good for comparison. If you're saying they have a lack of aircraft for the flights they're committing to, that sounds like a problem for Jetstar.

            @Techie4066: For the purposes of my entire commentary, I will clarify that I am specifically referring to their cheap international routes. That is primary reason why I fly and find value in Jetstar.

            • Techie4066 on 26/10/2022 - 16:09

              @watwatwat: Even then it's about a 50:50 split across all international frequencies between the A320 and B788. Jetstar was underprepared, just as its parent company was in their poor showing of shifting blame onto their customers.

              • watwatwat on 26/10/2022 - 17:50

                @Techie4066: So what? I don't really care and it doesn't impact this deal too much.

                If you prefer a more premium airline, go for it. Otherwise, feel free to specify what other deal is available that is remotely as good value as this one?

                @Techie4066: They are underprepared though, that is the business model. Pay rock bottom prices ($330 return to Vietnam with which other airline?) and in return you get a lower level of service. They buy less aircraft (less on standby costing money) hire less staff (lower payroll expenses) and have very limited creature comforts. They're not perfect but having worked there previously I honestly believe most people at Jetstar really are trying to provide the best possible service (within their budget). Fair enough if you don't want to book with them right now. The turbulence and unpredictability post COVID is going to manifest the worst in a bare bones system like they operate.

                You're somewhat right in that Qantas might push them a bit hard in terms of profit margin but if they didn't make money we wouldn't have a bargain basement option. You can always book with an alternative.

                • Techie4066 on 26/10/2022 - 18:26

                  @nigel deborah:

                  They are underprepared though, that is the business model.

                  There's a big difference between cancelling 1 in 10 and delaying over 4 in 10 flights, and smoothly running a non-full service, cut price carrier. That is hurting their bottom line I can assure you that much.

    just avoid Jestar and Qantas if you want to enjoy your holiday

    https://www.bitre.gov.au/statistics/aviation/otp_month

    Jetstar recorded the highest percentage of cancellations (at 9.5 per cent) during the month, followed by Virgin Australia Regional Airlines (at 4.6 per cent), Qantas (at 2.5 per cent), QantasLink (at 2.4 per cent), Rex Airlines (at 2.3 per cent) and Virgin Australia (at 1.9 per cent).

    Basically you have a 1 in 10 chance of being left stranded at your own expense plus whatever the chances are of getting bumped for a higher paying customer.

    Not a deal, I'd report it as a scam if I could.

    • watwatwat on 26/10/2022 - 14:04

      You assume that there will be no improvement over the next 8 months.

      Also, are the cancellations referring to cancellations in general or last minute ones? I had a jetstar flight cancelled months before and was able to easily rebook it to another day at no charge.

        I had a flight cancelled last minute, no other flights for over 24 hours, and there was no support or compensation.
        (profanity) Jetstar.

        • UberIsCool on 26/10/2022 - 15:30

          It’s called travel insurance

          • Xianese on 27/10/2022 - 08:35

            @UberIsCool: You shouldn't need travel insurance for a Melbourne to Adelaide flight, and even if you do, the airline should offer more support than "I know it's 10am on Friday but you can'y fly until 6pm Saturday".

        • lsbris on 27/10/2022 - 18:18

          My flight Cairns-Brisbane was cancelled at the last minute due to a technical problem, and they had moved my family to the day after a flight with Qantas without extra charge. They also paid us a dinner (up to $120), accommodation for that night (up to $150), and taxi fares from and to airport. We paid in advance, got the receipts, sent them to their email address and the money was deposited in our account within 2 days. It happened in June 2020, during the pandemic.
          In short, I was very impressed with Jetstar then, but after being exposed to Qantas, my kids want to fly domestically with Qantas only

          • gadgetguy on 27/10/2022 - 19:55

            @lsbris: "Technical problem" = they didn't sell enough seats to fill the plane OR they sold your seat to someone else at a higher price.

            They've been pulling this BS for years, it's part of their operating model.

          • Xianese on 28/10/2022 - 08:19

            @lsbris: I'm pleased you had this service. Unfortunately since the pandemic cleared up they've gone completely the other way. I was left stuck, out $300+ and told too bad.

        My missus had her flight cancelled the night before she was due to fly back from Bangkok to Melbourne and there was nothing available in the next 7 days. She then had to pay $1.7k on a Malaysia Airlines ticket and 3 extra nights of hotel.

        Oh and speaking of travel insurance. The first thing she did was to contact Allianz because she bought her so called Comprehensive Travel Insurance with them. It was so comprehensive that nothing would be covered because the flight was cancelled due to technical faults and was not caused by a strike, riot, hijack, civil protest, weather, natural disaster or accident affecting the mode of transport.

        So we will probably stay away from Jetstar and Qantas from now on.

    I have flown Jetstar many times pre-covid with rarely any issues including throughout asia and the like. But in all sincerity, you'd have to be crazy optimistic to book Jetstar for anything international within the next year. The horror stories not just in the news but social media travel groups and forums is on a scale i've not seen in a very, very long time. They are suffering from a serious failure on planning both personnel and aircraft availability and maintenance which is not something they can quickly recover from without spending big… and they aren't.

    All Jetstar flights delayed by 2 to 3 hours last Sunday at Hobart (I was there). Seems like normal thing for them, they don’t even seem fussed about hundreds of people inconvenienced and left waiting for hours in the gate. I would never travel again on an airline where providing good customer experience is not in their business model.

    If you think about it, airfare is just a small portion of your holiday expenses, better to pay a bit more to get a higher chance of a relaxing holiday

  • Johnx on 26/10/2022 - 13:44

    Auckland return to Sydney for free is that 6.15 am flight, which these days is a 2am wake up.
    I had flights in Jan coming back via Gold Coast changed to the 6.15 am direct so I cancelled the trip

    To everyone complaining about Jetstar cancelling flights, you are welcome to pay 6 times as much to fly Qantas and increase your odds of flying from 90.5% to 97.5%. You can go upvote the next Qantas deal at 6 times the price.

    I just booked Melbourne to Cairns roundtrip for $120 during a public holiday long weekend in peak season. Qantas is charging minimum $723 for the same dates.

    • charliejhd on 26/10/2022 - 13:50

      Go with Virgin or Rex, much better alternatives with much better service for slightly more if not the same price.

      • capslock on 26/10/2022 - 14:00

        Virgin is charging $648 for my dates. No thanks. That's $528 more than I paid. Rex doesn't fly that route.

        I have never found a Virgin Australia flight that is anywhere near comparable to Jetstar's prices. VA is always a lot more expensive.
