Price is seat only, each way, therefore not suitable for those with baggage.
Available to fly from now until August. Seems to exclude July school holidays.
Fares are one-way and web only. Checked baggage not included. Not available on all flights or days. Availability may be limited. Conditions apply.
Medjool…
Fuiyooooooo uncle laughing
Sydney ↔ Melbourne Tullamarine $30
Return flights for $30 is pretty good
I think OP clarifies that it's $30 each way in the description.
+$7 per way for the seats. Total min cost $74
Unless there is a good reason to choose a seat, for one-hour flight it is not so important.
How many kgs is the carry on?
it's always 7kg
7kg plus however much of your clothing and other accessories you can wear.
Smugglers coat gang rise up.
@Jenny Death: I got on a flight once from Europe back to AU and was shocked to discover my luggage was going to cost me an extra $400 or something.
But the coat solution appeared. The coat had many pockets and was crazy heavy, but it worked!
Powerbanks in your pockets, the laptop under the shirt, any drinks or food go inside…
Fill your pockets.
That's up to you…
Get some luggage scales…
You’re an odd one.
You've noticed?
lives in outback victoria and is a cranky cat lady.
Uber driver would earn more from me going from eastern suburbs to airport than Jetstar
yep, when the plane is cheaper than the train to the airport… (well, almost)
Taxi/Uber from my place to the airport is almost $100. More expensive than a return to Melbourne!
You can use public transport and pay as little as 3.50 off peak
The airport to melbourne centre via public transport sucks, it is honestly the worst route ive ever been on. Skybus is worth it for the extra cost.
train to Broadmedows station, then take bus (901 ?), I have done this route with 30kg luggage lol
400 goes from Bondi
400 goes between Airport and Mascot, it's about $1-2 extra to your trip (saving $13-14 on normal airport station access fees) - it will take ages to get to/from Bondi on that bus
Have done this quite a few times if I'm not in a rush. But geez, it's undeniably brutal.
For me, it's a $65 cab ride home (40 mins), $23.15 (Sky Bus + train, 1 hr) or $3.15 (bus + train + train, 1hr 30mins). ($3.15 being the off peak 2 hr cost)
I generally go with carry-on so it's not a big deal to do the latter two options. I usually walk to/from Mascot in Sydney (weather permitting).
At the moment Skybus is $15 (or $28 return), which makes me quite happy to use that. But at the usual $20, it's an expensive bus ride given you most likely need to make another change to get home.
No discount on Friday nights flight:((((
This price does not include a pilot. You need to add that as an extra!
It's like self-serve; self-fly…
Need add $10 for the door too.
Then the government decides to lockdown either state and you are stuck. What then?
At least you got a cheap flight?
Go via Avalon. No-one is checking border permits and you can avoid crowds in case of an outbreak.
Plus, travel time to much of eastern suburbs, peninsula etc is the same as Tulla, or better. No queues to check in, quick easy car return etc.
no public transport to Avalon
Costs more to park there for a day or 2!
Recent experience with Jetstar has been them cancelling a heap of flights and putting them altogether. Clearly not enough people for all the flights despite the low prices.
That's a shame, would prefer not to be on a packed plane but whatever generates the most money for Jetstar I guess.
Virgin when they had their $55 flights a couple weeks back were significantly better. Every middle row was empty and of course baggage included so a better deal at the time. Especially when they had the triple velocity points offer.
Though it looks there's still cheap(er) Virgin flights from some destinations.
That happens to full service airlines too (happened to me on a Virgin flight a few months ago).
If you need 23kg checked baggage (and better service), don't forget to check Rex and Virgin. Both are offering $39 MEL -><- SYD fares.
23kg baggage and seat selection. VA $39 is a better deal if you require baggage.
Just booked through Virgin with 23kg check in baggage and free seat selection.
Thanks for letting us know. By the way, Marco had the chicken for dinner.
Some real competition happening with Rex trying to enter the market!
Good! Aussie triopoly airlines need some competition!
If you want to go Queen's Long Weekend, it's $119 Sydney to Melbourne on 11th. Cheaper via Qantas with $89 Red E Deal.
Can't find it, seems like its gone
too costly to when I used to book or get offers for 20$ return ticket for adult to melbourne from sydney. Now one way is 30$ in offer that too specific date toooo costly….
Fly MEL-OOL early June for $114 return and then pay $650 to rent a car for a week.
You can buy a car, and then sell it :)
8 hr delay on my last 3 flights with Jetstar. Not worth the deal
you must not travel from sydney or melb.
It's always an issue with Jetstar as they operate on tight turn arounds, so delays can happen. Probably not as bad on high frequency routes as they can always move people to earlier flights if there is delays.

Catch the morning flights. THe afternoon and night flights are always the delayed ones.
it was from sydney to melbourne & they offered a $5 food voucher as compensation. Which at sydney airport is pretty useless
That's disappointing. Did you go in the evening? What time was the departure?
@Orico: I had 2 morning flights and an afternoon. Morning departures were at 11 am but flights left at 6:45pm & 7pm.
@universe: Jesus. I usually hate booking my flights at 6 AM (the first flight out) but I think it's safer if I keep it at 6 AM. I never have problems with the first and last flight out of Sydney.
Support Rex rather than the domestic duopoly, which came pretty close to being a monopoly really.
And then they had the decency to ask the government for taxpayers money for help.
Is it 1 way cuz they know you'll be caught in a lockdown the moment you arrive?
I looked at tickets last month for $144.36 ($49 for the ticket, and $23 for the checked in luggage).
If I book the same trip, it is $150; they increased the checked in luggage from $23 to $45.
Luggage is the next screen. $45 option including other things like preselected seat, meal and few other things. I paid $100 return with 15kg checked in luggage.
What dates?
