Craving a getaway? We know the feeling. Thankfully, Jetstar has got our back – they’re celebrating their 21st birthday this week with the return of their famous Return for Free sale. What does that mean? Exactly what it says on the tin: book a flight to your dream destination (with domestic and international routes included), and your flight home will cost you zero dollars. Here’s the lowdown.
The Jetstar Return for Free Birthday Sale will launch to the general public at midnight tonight (Tuesday, May 6) and will run for just 48 hours, ending at 11.59pm Sydney time on Thursday, May 8 (unless already sold out). Want early access? Club Jetstar members will be granted access to the sale from noon today (Tuesday, May 6).
With more than 80 domestic routes and heaps of international routes included in the sale, it might be tricky to pick your destination. In the mood for a Byron Bay escape? You could fly there and back from Sydney for $38. Want to explore a tropical island?
