Book Cheap Flights with Jetstar Airways

The 2007 winner of the low-cost carrier division of the prestigious Skytrax World Airline Awards, Jetstar offers cut-rate fares in Australia’s domestic, regional, and international network. Jetstar is a wholly owned subsidiary of Qantas yet operates as an independent company.

First launched in 2003, Jetstar draws on the decades of Qantas’ experience and award-winning customer service yet slashes fare prices to the limit to make leisure travel affordable for everyone.

Based in Melbourne, Jetstar currently covers Australia with an extended network of domestic flights as well as hops across the Tasman to Christchurch in New Zealand. Longer haul destinations include Singapore, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Manila, Jakarta, Bali, Osaka, and Honolulu, and Jetstar plans to extend their routes to include more destinations in Asia as well as to Europe and the West Coast of the United States.

Skip the queue at the terminal and try Jetstar’s Online Check In. Passengers can select their seat and print a boarding pass up to 24 hours prior to departure time for all domestic flights.

Another Jetstar amenity is the StarClass cabin for personalised travel service. On all international Jetstar flights aboard the Airbus A330 aircraft, StarClass seating provides additional leg-stretching room and in-seat power for computer and personal music player usage. Jetstar StarClass passengers also receive priority check-in, extra check-in baggage weight allowance, and a personal video-on-demand entertainment unit. StarClass seating earns points toward the Qantas frequent flyer programme.

The Qantas Club business and first-class lounge is available to members flying as Jetstar passengers. Amenities include workstations with fax, photocopying, and Internet access, as well as complimentary showers, bar facilities, telephones, and televisions.

Jetstar is Greenhouse Friendly accredited with the Australian Greenhouse Office and offers passengers the option of purchasing carbon emissions offsets for their flights. With Jetstar’s simplified system, purchasing a carbon emissions offset is as simple as ticking a box, and the proceeds help support research and engineering for AGO-approved environmentally friendly and renewable energy sources.
