Budget Australian airline Jetstar is celebrating 15 years of flying domestic routes in Aotearoa by putting tens of thousands of airfares on sale for New Zealand customers.
Flights between Auckland and Sydney, the Gold Coast, Melbourne or Rarotonga are on offer for $169 or less each way while domestic routes start at $29 - the same sale price offered in 2009.
The routes included in the sale are also serviced by Air New Zealand, as well as some by additional airlines.
Shelley Musk, Jetstar's head of NZ, said the airline is "passionate" about keeping air travel affordable for New Zealanders.
"Since launching domestic flights in New Zealand in 2009, Jetstar has revolutionised air travel for Kiwis, with more than 18 million people travelling with us for less than $100," Musk said.
"We offered $29 fares when we launched - and 15 years later, our birthday fares remain just as low.
"Our reliability is now the best it's been since COVID and the investments we've made in improving our operations have helped us cement our position as New Zealand's low fares leader."
As with all sales, potential customers should carefully read the terms and conditions before purchasing. Check-in luggage, entertainment, in-flight food and certain payment methods will cost extra on top of the advertised prices.
Travel dates vary per route but include late July 2024 through to early April 2025.
Jetstar's 15th birthday sale includes the following offers:
Domestic
- Auckland to Christchurch from $29
- Auckland to Wellington from $29
- Wellington to Queenstown from $38

International

Subscribers to the paid Club Jetstar membership programme have early access to the sale airfares, which are available to non-members from midnight tonight. They will then be on offer until 11:59pm on June 11, unless sold out prior.
