Jetstar's got cheap flights to Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne and more for under $200

About time to book in some annual leave, team.

As the weather starts to turn and those chilly, wet mornings roll in, the thought of ditching it for a little more sunshine sounds more tempting by the second.

Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a full-blown holiday, heading across the ditch sounds like just the break we need right now.

Jetstar just launched a sale with over 15,000 cheap flights across the ditch from as cheap as $152.

Some flights around NZ can be pricier than that, so swapping the rain for some rays might just be a no-brainer here.

The are 15 different routes to take your pick from -including a new route direct from Christchurch to Cairns - so if you and the fam or group chat have been itching for a trip, you might wanna get to planning.

Travel dates vary depending on the route, but they start in late April 2025 and go through to early February 2026.

Jetstar's Aussie holiday sale fares include:

  • Hamilton to Sydney from $152

  • Auckland to Sunshine Coast from $154

  • Hamilton to Gold Coast from 166

  • Auckland to Sydney from $168

  • Auckland to Gold Coast from $169

  • Christchurch to Melbourne (Tullamarine) from $172

  • Wellington to Gold Coast from $182

  • Auckland to Brisbane from $184

  • Auckland to Melbourne (Tullamarine) from $184

  • Dunedin to Gold Coast from $186

  • Christchurch to Gold Coast from $189

  • Christchurch to Cairns from $196

  • Queenstown to Melbourne (Tullamarine) from $208

  • Queenstown to Gold Coast from $220

  • Queenstown to Sydney from $224

 While there’s heaps of time to prepare once you’ve secured your tickets, you’ll want to get on to that first step ASAP. The deals will finish on Monday, the 7th of April at 11:59pm.

It comes as Jetstar really spreads its wings - literally - between NZ and Aus, with four new flights this year!

As of yesterday, Cantabrians can now fly direct from Christchurch to Cairns.

Hamilton to Sydney, Hamilton to the Gold Coast, and Dunedin to the Gold Coast are all set to take off later this year.
