‘Fly a Friend for Free’: Jetstar’s Wild New Sale Revealed

By Nick Hall - News Published: 28 Jun 2023, Last Updated: 25 Oct 2023

Fresh off announcing a bonkers ‘Free Flights For a Year’ campaign earlier this month, Australian budget airline Jetstar has promised to halve your next trip. The latest Jetstar deal sees the travel provider offer up a free additional flight for each full-paying passenger. That means you and your financially inept friend can finally hit Port Douglas together and take in the sights and sounds of the Daintree Rainforest.

According to Jetstar, the ‘Fly a Friend for Free’ campaign plays host to a number of expansive tourist destinations and packages. Among them, you’ll find popular hotspots like Uluru’s Desert Gardens Hotel, the Next Hotel in Melbourne and the Crowne Plaza in Hobart, all available for heavily discounted rates.

To score the new deal, you need to book an eligible package and for each full-paying passenger, an additional passenger can fly for free. As per the official Jetstar page, the offer applies to single bookings, so all passengers “must travel on the same flights and stay in the same hotel room, using available bedding configurations”.

Best of all, the nature of the deal takes the guesswork out of planning a getaway. Each package bundles return starter fares, accommodation, and a range of inclusions such as daily breakfast, dinner and late checkout, meaning you just need to get yourself to one of the stunning locations up for grabs. Some of the top picks include:

Oaks Port Douglas – flights + 3 nights + more from $635^ (departing Brisbane)
Next Melbourne – flights + 2 nights + more from $667^ for 2 people (departing Adelaide)
Mantra PortSea Port Douglas – flights + 3 nights + more from $731^ for 2 people (departing Brisbane)
Crowne Plaza Hobart – flights + 2 nights + more from $610^ for 2 people (departing Melbourne (Tullamarine))
The Star Grand Hotel Sydney – flights + 2 nights + more from $778^ for 2 people (departing Adelaide)
DoubleTree Hilton Cairns – flights + 3 nights + more from $894 for 2 people (departing Sydney)
Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach – flights + 3 nights + more from $827^ for 2 people (departing Melbourne (Tullamarine))
Desert Gardens Hotel, Uluru – flights + 3 nights + more from $896^ for 2 people (departing Sydney)

Travel dates vary depending on the flight route and hotel but will take place between late October 2023 – late May 2024. Importantly, Jetstar’s Fly A Friend For Free Aussie Holiday Packages Sale ends at 11.59pm AEST Monday 3 July 2023, unless sold out prior. If you want to score great deals on cheap flights this end of financial year, head to the airline’s website and get stuck in.
