Bali, Hawaii, Gold Coast … Australians’ favourite holiday destinations are looking hotter than ever with the release of Jetstar’s latest sale fares.
From today, the budget airline is offering big savings on flights to some of the world’s most popular beach destinations.
Aussie holidaymakers can fly to Hawaii from $249 or Bali from $129.
And within Australia, flights from Sydney to Ballina Byron start from $45. Other sale destinations include the Whitsunday Coast ($57 from Brisbane), Gold Coast ($82 from Adelaide), Sunshine Coast ($79 from Melbourne) and Cairns ($95 from Sydney).
The “Beach Discovery” sale fares are for travel during select periods between November 2018 and August 2019 – and although the peak mid-December to mid-January period is ruled out, there are still summer bargains available.
YOUR CHEAPEST TRIP EVER
The even better news for bargain hunters is not only are flights dirt cheap, they should also be able to snap up rock-bottom priced holiday accommodation as well.
