    The return flights all end 26th of September, 4 days after my wedding! That's not enough time for a honeymoon :'(

      And luckily you can fly in the typhoon season.

    • samd on 26/10/2017 - 12:46

      Great price for Adelaide to Narita return.
      $440!
      Only problem is outbound leg needs to be in March with return leg in the middle of May! (Mar 13, May 17 = $439.65)
      Too long a trip for me, but you never know, might suit someone.
      Maybe track the entire cherry blossom season?

    Can't find anything for Sydney-Adelaide last week of April but did find Sydney-Melbourne mid-August!

    But do I want to pay $89 plus $38 for checked luggage on Jetstar or use my Velocity points for my Melbourne flight 🤔

    • logist on 26/10/2017 - 11:14

      Why pay real money when you can pay fake money (points)? You can also change/cancel flights bought on points and use lounge if you have/will have status with Virgin

      • kerfuffle on 26/10/2017 - 11:32

        Because I was gonna burn my points on the Adelaide flight first haha. No status for me as I don't fly that much (most of my points come from parking, fuel and shopping online 😂)

        Last time this offer occurred, I flew Jetstar to Melbourne and saved my Velocity points since I didn't need checked luggage.

    How does it work? My booking for 5 peoples come no discount on return fare ?

  • zone on 26/10/2017 - 10:07

    Thanks OP, bought SYD to CHC in Feb for $711 return for 4 including checked baggage for 1.

    Also, realized it was cheaper to become a club Jetstar member for $49 so saved $160-$49 =$121 for return for 4. Kia Ora!

    • Serathis on 26/10/2017 - 10:10

      I'm confused, how do you end up getting a further $49 discount when you needed to pay for a Club Jetstar membership?

      • k-rokfm on 26/10/2017 - 10:13
        +2

        $160 saving over 4 people for club member minus $49 membership = $121 better off by buying the membership

  • Peck on 26/10/2017 - 10:27

    Great prices, and tempted to travel to places that I have never been to. EG Ayers Rock. But the Ayer Fare is not the problem. Hotels $500 plus per night. It looks like I will stick to Asia!

    • capslock on 26/10/2017 - 10:37

      A dorm bed at Ayers Rock Resort is $38. You will get a $25 hotel voucher after you book your flight. Brings your dorm bed down to $13.

      Go to Alice Springs, then take a bus for a day trip to Uluru. Much greater choice of accommodation in Alice Springs, and more to see.

      It's decades since I went, but I roughly recall the itinerary was:

      • Leave Alice Springs at 7am
      • Arrive Uluru at lunchtime
      • spend an hour or so at Uluru
      • spend an hour at Kata Tjuta (nearby rock formation, just as interesting as Uluru)
      • Leave about 3pm, arriving Alice Springs about 9pm.

      You could drive, but I don't recommend that unless you can share the driving, it's 463km according to Google. You'll see Mt Connor (a mesa/tabletop mountain) on the way, and go close to Rainbow Valley and the Henbury meteorite craters. The bus tour didn't stop at these locations, they aren't huge tourist attractions.

      When you get to Alice Springs, you might want to drop into a tourist shop and buy a beekeeper's net to go over your head and hat. The flies can be atrocious sometimes. The locals learn "the flick", a hand movement to shoo the flies away, but it takes a few weeks to pick up the skill. Flies in Central Australia are stubborn, for them it's a life-or-death situation trying to get some moisture from your face. I lived there for two years. The tourist stores also used to sell hats with hanging corks, they're useless, don't buy them.

        Way too much driving, FA time at Uluru/Kata Tjuta.

        Fly to Uluru direct, spend the lousy $38.00/night on a refrigerated dorm bed (depending on timing you might get the whole thing to yourself anyway), and spend at least 3 days there using a 3-day bus pass to visit Uluru (walk around it) and Kata Tjuta (do one of the 3+ hour walks if you can). You can chill out at Uluru at the water hole watching the zebra finches coming in for a drink. Watch the sunrise and sunset. They have some great talks around Yulara - black fellas telling you about how they hunt - fully brutal compelling stuff. My knowledge is this year.

  • kelza83 on 26/10/2017 - 11:35

    I’m not sure why but i tried Avalon to Hobart and it wasn’t free for return. It cost the same there as the return flight. Did I do something wrong? I looked at February 2018 dates.

  • whodidthat on 26/10/2017 - 11:49

    Just a little tip.
    I've already got accommodation booked for Cairns, 20th to 27th April so thought I'd miss out on this but if I change return date to 1st May, return is free (bearing in mid obviously 4 extra nights stay to cover).

    I also found some return flights at the end of April, flying into Newcastle for $69.

    • dynamike on 26/10/2017 - 12:38

      What's the tip?

      • whodidthat on 26/10/2017 - 13:03
        +1

        I thought I was clear? The offer is from 1st May, but you can leave at the end of April but still get return free by returning on or after 1st May.

        • gilbarc on 26/10/2017 - 13:58

          Ah, got it. I didn't catch it the first time either.

          So, only the return flight has to be within the offer period.

        • whodidthat on 26/10/2017 - 14:03

          @gilbarc: Yes, appears so. I don't know if that's been the case with all these promotions but I always thought both ways had to be within the offer period.

          Anyway, it did work as I booked up.

      • ihavecentsnotsense on 26/10/2017 - 13:16

        I didn’t catch the tip either! Haha

    Return flights for two adults and a kid Melb tulla to Cairns in June, $189 return each. Great deal, even better with a week of car hire for only about $170 on top (no idea why it was so cheap on the Jetstar website but there you go). Even with $20 odd each way for one checked bag and the same for seat selection it barely cracked $800 all up.

    Thanks OP, looking forward to fleeing the Melbourne winter next year!

    • onlyletters on 26/10/2017 - 15:26

      they dont tell you that you conditionally lock it in for 5 minutes after selecting which eventually expires and throws a server error later on which releases it for anyone else..
