Jetstar’s newly launched Japan flight sale includes one-way fares to Japan starting at just $249 – a price that’s cheaper than dinner at some omakase joints.

The budget airline’s latest promotion is dishing up direct and connecting flights to both Osaka and Tokyo from major Australian cities, with prices low enough to make even the most seasoned bargain hunter do a double take.

Travel periods span from early October to mid-December 2025, making it perfect timing for autumn leaves, pre-Christmas shopping sprees, and soaking in a steamy onsen under crisp skies.

While Club Jetstar members have a 12-hour head start on bookings from midday today, the public can jump on the sale from midnight tonight. But if you’re keen, don’t dawdle – the sale wraps up at 11.59pm AEST on Friday May 23 (unless sold out earlier).

Here’s a snapshot of the standout fares:

• Cairns to Osaka (Kansai) from $249
