Must book for a minimum of 2 passengers.

Various travel periods from Jan to Oct 2015. Dates vary depending on origin and destination.

Examples

  • Cairns to Tokyo $377 per person return
  • Melbourne to Tokyo $447 per person return
  • Gold Coast to Tokyo $451 per person return
  • Cairns to Osaka $351 per person return

Other cities to/from Australia and Japan are available. Refer to website for more details.

It's probably best to treat the "2 for 1" bit as the name of the sale only rather than the idea that one person can fly for free.

    Weird, as soon as I choose two people from Adelaide return, it will only let me choose the Max Bundle on the flight back, making the trip more expensive than before :/

  • ctrlaltdel on 20/11/2014 - 08:21

    Anyone just receiving a large sign with an error when trying to search for any periods of flights?

    • Dcseah on 20/11/2014 - 08:38

      Yep, but just go back to the normal page and search as per usual and I found flights at about $280 one way, so it works that way.

  • xcx on 20/11/2014 - 08:45

    Yeh search doesnt seem to work at the moment. Good to see Jetstar have learnt from the recent previous website stuff-ups.

      No it's just you that's radioactive.

  • [Deactivated] on 20/11/2014 - 09:04

    It's for one-way, and double that for return.

    "Fares quoted are one way and only available online. Checked baggage is not included with Starter fares^ but may be added for a fee. All sale and special offer fares available until sale ends or sale or special offer is sold out. Please make sure you read the important information about sale and special offer fares."

    And more…

    "Fares are web only, one-way. Starter and Business fares are non-refundable. Limited changes are permitted, charges apply. Availability is limited (not available on all flights or days). Limited availability on public holiday weekends and school holidays. All travel on Jetstar is subject to the Jetstar Conditions of Carriage."

      You'll get the reduced price when you have minimum 2 people. Then when you add the departing and returning price of the ticket it would match up what OP has posted.

  • lucasw on 20/11/2014 - 09:13

    it says "sale fares are one-way starter fares", not return

        Maybe connecting flight to Melbourne or Cairns.

      • bhm133 on 20/11/2014 - 09:49

        It is listed from the link BigBuddha posted above.

        Can't edit my neg now…

        Looking at the week ahead, I can find flights for $260… Brings the total down to $1000. Still not the two for one as we are getting charged for two people.

        I think I'm doing it wrong.

        I need to report myself…

      • carwashhair on 20/11/2014 - 09:50

        No no, Sydney's in there (via CNS or OOL)

          Thanks. It IS in there. I just can't get the 2 for 1 on any dates (on multiple dates). It charges me for 2 people.

      "When you book your fares, these prices will be displayed and booked at half the total price per person of the lowest non-sale Starter fare."

      Sounds like they will charge 2 at 50% rather than 1 at 100% and 1 at 0%.

    how come when i do the quote it still shows up as paying for 2 tickets and taxes?

    or are the prices adjusted to be half price but still shows up as 2 tickets?

  • [Deactivated] on 20/11/2014 - 10:41

    Very skill fully lined up so that us people with kids cannot take up the offer, but there are still plenty of cheap flights (just not 2 for 1) so will probably still take them up on the offer :)

    For fellow Melbournians, the 2 for 1 dates are 30 Sept - 24 Oct & 7 Jul - 15 Sep.

        I think School can wait. (depending on grade obviously)

    • [Deactivated] on 20/11/2014 - 11:49

      We plan holidays outside of school holiday times. We just came back from NZ, kids missed 2 weeks. School understands it, besides I would tell them where to go if they had a problem.

      My parents did the same when we were younger. Why pay double the price just to do it in school holidays, plus if you are like me you are educating your kids while travelling as well and making sure they experience the culture and learn.

      But, booking some tickets without the kids, adults week away in Tokyo, yeah baby!

      • rawm on 20/11/2014 - 12:59
        +4

        'We plan holidays outside of school holiday times.'

        Coming from a secondary school teacher of almost 10 years I'd have to say that (depending on the age of your children/number of weeks missed per year) this is likely to have have a negative impact on a child's academic ability. There is a significant link between % attendance rates at school and academic results (both Primary and Secondary).

        'School understands it, besides I would tell them where to go if they had a problem'.

        Great philosophy there buddy.

        • Singu1arity on 20/11/2014 - 15:35

          Bullshit.

          I was the eldest of 4 boys and we all missed a couple of weeks a year for 5 years in a row because my parents used to do the same thing with us. I was grade 6 the first year we did it and grade 10 the last time.

          I graduated with excellence awards, won the all-rounder in my senior year, and am now an engineer.

          I guarantee that the amount the parents care about their kids education (formal and informal) has a far greater part to play than missing a couple of weeks of school.

        • rawm on 20/11/2014 - 15:53

          @ASeawright:

          haha, insightful comment.

          In terms of I, I, I; Congratulations, you are clearly an exception to the rule. Your 'success' isn't common; everything in life isn't always about 'I'.

          Yes, nutrition, socio-economic background, family love, care and a whole range of factors play an integral role in ability but the statistics are there and aren't 'bullshit' as you've stated.

          Look at http://www.telethonkids.org.au/media/472779/final_report_201… (yes, it's only an WA study etc etc) which I think is a well written document.

          Maybe do some light reading and come to understand that absenteeism for most students is statistically not a good thing.

      • Rusty1989 on 20/11/2014 - 15:27

        Yeah, I couldn't fathom taking my kid out of school just so I could save some money on holidays. There's no amount of worksheets that can make up for valuable face-to-face time with teachers and peers.

        (Yes I'm a secondary teacher and it also annoys me that I have to cater for these kids in the form of providing a bunch of work in advance, rescheduling assessment tasks etc.)

        • altomic on 21/11/2014 - 00:31

          just took my kids prep, grade 2 + grade 3 to middle east, europe and singapore for 5 weeks ( missed 3 weeks of school). I'm with ASeawright.

          a good parent, who is supportive of their child's education, will foster their learning.

          rawm - your attempt to discuss the statistical relevance of absenteeism on educational growth from that WA study is pointless in this "travel Vs schooling" position which ASeawright is arguing. Absenteeism correlates strongly with economic status. the lower the economic status the higher the absenteeism.

          statistics are misdirected for the most part. they are so generalised. they can be swayed to push a popularist (or any) position. people blindly accept them without looking at how they are collected. I dislike statistics for their shallowness and how people accept the "truth of the figures".

          how do I know that? well despite my parents taking me out of school for at least 4 school weeks a year through my school life I am some how half way through my second post grad degree where statistical research has been the mainstay (psych thesis to be completed for graduation).

          I guess I am an except to the statistics as well. fancy that.
