Jetstar's having a huge sale with cheap flights to Japan for $312 and NZ fares from $35

Nope, that's not a typo.

If you're well and truly sick of Aotearoa's unpredictable weather - you might just be able to suss a ticket out of here.  

Jetstar's just dropped thousands of cheap international flights - including jaw-droppingly low fares to Japan and Vietnam, as well as to Rarotonga and all over Aussie.  

But, if you're quite happy to deal with the odd  spring storm - or you've been putting off seeing the whānau for way too long - there's also domestic fares from $35 - $57. 

Earlier this month, Jetstar made a bunch of Kiwis happy by announcing new services from Hamilton to Sydney and the Gold Coast, and a new route from Dunedin to the Gold Coast. 

It's the first time Jetstar's ever flown to and from the 'Tron, and the first time it's ever operated international flights from Dunners. 

Those new flights also feature in the sale, with Hamilton to Australia fares coming in under $140, and Dunedin to the Goldie for $155. 

The travel dates vary depending on the route, but start in mid-October 2024 and go through to mid-June 2025 for domestic fares, and from early November this year until early September next year for international.
