We’re giving you full permission to freak out right now! Jetstar has just dropped another massive ‘Return for FREE’ sale, offering 14,000 $0 return flights. For 72 hours only, you could book a holiday to Tokyo, Osaka and Seoul for less than $500 – because your flight home will cost you a grand total of $0.

Launching at midnight AEDT tonight (October 6) and running until 11.59pm AEDT on October 9, this epic deal is a first-in, best-dressed situation. Unsurprisingly, cheap fares to Japan and Korea don't hang around – so if you want to lock in a $0 return flight, you’ll need to move fast.

So, how exactly does it work? Simply book an outbound Starter fare and your return fare will automatically drop to $0, provided you’re flying back into the same airport you departed from. Valid for select travel dates between May and July 2027, you can score return packages from Brisbane to Seoul (Incheon) from $469, Cairns to Tokyo (Narita) from $479, or Sydney to Osaka (Kansai) from $569.

The general public sale kicks off at midnight AEDT tonight (October 6), but Club Jetstar members score 12 hours of early access from midday AEDT today. It’s just $65 to become a member, which will probably pay for itself.

Also, full disclosure: Starter fares don’t include checked luggage – so you’ll need to factor that one in. You can try your luck in the sale here.
