Jetstar now reigns as one of the largest low-cost airlines in Australia. A subsidiary of national flag carrier Qantas, it's seen constant growth since its establishment back in 2003. The focus is on no-frills, affordable travel, with base fares that are easy on the wallet.
Jetstar Australia offers regular links between major cities Down Under. Take Jetstar Brisbane to Melbourne – a hop over to the hip districts of Collingwood and backpacker-favorite St Kilda. You've got Jetstar Darwin routes, for a ticket to the palm-fringed tropics of the Northern Territory. Then come the departures to more off-the-beaten-track Aussie destinations, whether that's the shimmering coral gardens of the Great Barrier Reef or the mystical rock of Uluru.
Jetstar flights also go further afield. Expansion across the Tasman Sea means potential adventures to New Zealand's snow-capped Southern Alps or the shimmering lagoons of Fiji. Meanwhile, Jetstar Bali packages open up the surf breaks and jungles of the Isle of the Gods. And there are even long-haul routes into China, the Philippines, and Hawaii.
Jetstar sale fares come and go throughout the year. From anniversary deals that arrive on the airline's birthday to gratis returns on selected routes, there are all sorts of enticing bargains waiting to be had. Check them out:

The cheapest Jetstar flight deals of all are with the airline's so-called starter fares. These are simple, no-frills tickets that come with just a carry-on bag. Standard Jetstar carry on weight is set at 7kg over two items, but that can be expanded to a total of 14kg (subject to availability on particular flights).
Jetstar check in baggage can be added to your booking by upgrading to a Plus bundle or a Max bundle – they allow basic luggage weights of 20kg and 30kg respectively. Alternatively, you can manually add bags, with a total allowable weight of up to 32kg per item.
Club Jetstar offers oodles of perks for frequent fliers on Australia's largest low-cost carrier. For $55 a year, the program includes 20% off Jetstar check in baggage and seat selection, exclusive Jetstar flight deals, and early access to Jetstar sale fares.
There's no official Jetstar points program available, but it is possible to clock up air miles by being registered with a partner rewards scheme. Just join up to Qantas Frequent Flyer, Emirates Skywards, JAL Mileage Bank, or Lotusmiles, and be sure to enter your membership number at the time of booking.
