Miss out on Jetstar’s return for free sale? We got you. The low-cost airline is celebrating 22 years around the sun with gifts for jet-setting Aussies – offering 225,000 discounted fares across its domestic and international network. Hallelujah!

Jetstar’s birthday sale kicks off today (May 7) and ends at 11.59pm AEST on Monday, May 11, unless sold out prior. From local gems to overseas escapes, every single destination in its global network is on the guest list – with fares starting from just $38!

Jetstar has also slashed prices on international routes, with flights from Sydney to Vanuatu from $199. You can even score direct flights to New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Seoul and Osaka – all for less than $370.

Travel dates vary per route but include early August to mid-December 2026 for domestic flights and early July 2026 to mid-March 2027 for international routes.

As a special birthday surprise, Jetstar is also hosting a one-off Shannon Noll Look-alike Party Flight. It’s a double celebration of 2004: the year Jetstar launched and Nollsie topped the charts with ‘What About Me?’ More than 50 look-alikes are expected to board the Sydney to Townsville flight on May 25, with a strictly limited number of seats on sale from $22. Goatees and black tees are highly encouraged, and yes, the man himself will be performing live at 30,000 feet.
