Australian low-cost airline Jetstar has put a new 24-hour special sale with incredibly low fares to more than 50 locations. The sale offer grabbed the attention of a lot of people and the website of airline crashed briefly as thousands of people opened the site to book cheap tickets to over 50 destinations.
This is the second-largest domestic sale since late March 2021's 'half off airfares.'
The flights will take place between mid-October and late-November 2022, according to a media report citing Jetstar’s spokesperson. The window for booking tickets under this offer shuts at 11.59 p.m. (AEDT) on Tuesday unless sold out before then. Notably, the return flights prices are not the same as AU$22.
To get passengers up in the air, Jetstar reduced the cost of at least 22,000 tickets to as little as AU$22. This was started on Monday at midnight. The list of destinations includes Brisbane, Ballina, Melbourne, Whitsundays, Cairns, Darwin, Uluru, Hamilton Island and Sydney.
Jetstar's current sale comes just within a week when Bonza, Australia's newest low-cost airline, prepares to enter the market. Last Tuesday (15 February 2022), Bonza revealed that it would target 25 routes, initially connecting 16 destinations across Australia.

Jetstar Asia expands VTL services
On the other side, Jetstar also announced on Monday (21 February 2022) that VTL flights from Phuket, Clark, Manila, and Perth to Singapore will increase the number of options for fully vaccinated consumers to travel without quarantine.
Following the announcement that Western Australia's international crossings will reopen on 3 March, Jetstar Asia will relaunch services from Singapore to Perth on March 11, with up to four weekly flights and a designated VTL route back to Singapore.
Jetstar Asia's Phuket to Singapore VTL service will begin on March 2 with up to four weekly services, followed by six weekly VTL services from Clark and seven weekly VTL services from Manila on March 4.
As part of Jetstar's Fly Flexible policy (fare difference may apply), customers who book a Jetstar Asia (3K) trip on jetstar.com before 30 April 2022 for travel before 31 August 2023 will receive one 'cost free' date change.
