Drop everything and pull out your credit card: Jetstar just dropped a huge Japan and South Korea flight sale, with fares from Australia starting at just $130 one-way. That’s even cheaper than a domestic flight from the East to West Coast. With departures from Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Cairns, you could be on your way to Osaka, Tokyo or Seoul in just a few months. How good!
Jetstar’s Japan and South Korea Sale is happening right now and ends at 11.59pm on Thursday, July 24 – unless sold out prior. We reckon these hot airfares will go fast, so if you’re keen for a holiday filled with hearty ramen and 7-Eleven snacks, or spicy kimchi and K-barbecue, jump on these bad boys now.
Flights to Osaka and Tokyo start at just $130 from Cairns or $155 from Brisbane. You can also fly from Sydney to Osaka from $165 or Tokyo for $253, from Melbourne to either city for $266, and from Adelaide for $319. Cheap fares to Seoul are also available, starting at $155 from Brisbane, $170 from Sydney and $270 from Melbourne. Just note, some of these trips include a scenic stopover in Cairns or Sydney, with travel dates between early October 2025 and late May 2025.

If you're heading to Osaka, you’ll need to check out Time Out Market Osaka – the first one to ever open in Asia Pacific – featuring dishes from first-class local chefs, the city’s top restaurants, bars and cultural experiences, all under one roof and curated by Time Out's editors.
