Keen for a holiday? We hear you. And thankfully, Australia’s go-to budget airline, Jetstar, has launched a massive network-wide sale, offering 280,000 discounted fares to a huge range of domestic and international hotspots. Prices start at just $39 for local trips – about the cost of a bowl of pasta these days – and from $149 for international getaways. How good!

Jetstar’s ‘Fare Play Sale’ kicked off on Tuesday, February 24 and runs until 11.59pm AEDT on Friday, February 27 (unless sold out prior). Travel dates vary by route, but range from mid-March to mid-November.

If you’ve got a popular Aussie destination on your 2026 travel bucket list, chances are it’s part of the sale. The best deals for Victorians include Melbs to Darwin from $164 and Melbs to Cairns from $109.

Keen to go international? Jetstar is also slashing fares to overseas favourites, with cut-price flights to Bali, Vanuatu, Ho Chi Minh City and beyond.

In 2026, Jetstar will launch six new routes – one domestic and five international – adding more than 460,000 new low-cost fares each year. One biggie we’re looking forward to is the Melbourne to Colombo (Sri Lanka) flight taking off in August, with fares currently on sale from $319.
