“Low‑fares are in Jetstar’s DNA, and for 22 years we’ve been focused on helping customers take off more, for less,” Jetstar executive manager customer and digital Prue McKenzie said.
“Our Return for Free sale delivers the kind of value we’re known for at a time when cost‑of‑living pressures are squeezing household budgets. With 75,000 free return seats available across our network, it’s a great reason to book that trip you’ve been putting off.
“We’re also growing – with new aircraft, new routes and more destinations, we’re giving our customers even more choice while continuing to deliver the great low‑fares Jetstar is known for.”
Travel dates vary per route but include mid-January to late February 2027 for domestic and mid-June 2026 to mid-March 2027 for international.
