Fly Jetstar Direct from $111 Return from Sydney to Uluru/Ayer's Rock (incl Valentine's Day) @ Jetstar

160

Came across this while hunting on beatthatflight, skyscanner and trip.com and my jaw dropped at $118 on those, but on Jetstar itself it's $111 there, and ZERO back = $111 total. For a direct return journey, totalling ~7 hours!

We've had sales on this route for ~$180 before, so this is incredible.

        Hard to see that being the case, surely climbing was the big attraction and why the airlines put on extra capacity to start with. I think there'll be a drop before the tourist market comes back to normalise a true level of visitors post the climbing ban. Looking at something and being able to experience it are totally different things.

        If anything may benefit non Uluru flyers if capacity has to be used, just to the next favourite/in destination at good rates.

          Under 15% of visitors climbed. That figure has dropped from over 75% 20 years ago. At that rate of decline, you should be asking "why did they keep it open so long?"

            @SirFlibbled: That's probably because the Rock was closed for climbing when those visitors were there, "due to weather" usually a slight breeze.
            I drove there 3 times with family over 20 years, paid the visitor's fees at the entry to the park, only to be told at the rock it was closed. The same story the next day!
            Hence the low statistics.

              @rabiez: Wouldn't explain it over 20 years though if the same thing was happening. Of course, if you really wanted a great conspiracy theory I guess someone could claim that they purposely closed the climb to force the numbers down to thwart the colonists.

              It makes a good story at least.

        • Yeah I guess that’s why no one goes to Stonehenge because they can’t climb. Or the 3 sisters.

  • then there's the drive to urlu

      How does it compare to Uluru? Can you climb it :)

  • +2

    Fly now, as probably will be canceled due to lack of patronage in the future

  • Maybe go to Mt Augustus instead? Its bigger too!
