Qantas and Jetstar have just announced that they will be heavily discounting fares on around 200,000 domestic flight seats in a bid to reboot the domestic tourism industry. 

The Jetstar sale includes 10,000 fares priced at just $19.00 on 35 routes, across 15 destinations, in in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland, including Melbourne to Sydney, Sydney to Gold Coast, Melbourne to Byron Bay (Ballina), Brisbane to Whitsunday Coast (Proserpine) and Adelaide to Cairns.

Jetstar sale fares to and from Western Australia and Tasmania are expected to follow, pending confirmation of the dates that borders will reopen.

Qantas also just announced that frequent flyers will also earn triple points on all domestic flights. The triple points are available on all flights nationwide across 92 routes and 57 destinations from 27 June until 31 October 2020. It can be redeemed until 24 June 2020.

Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce said in the past fortnight almost 400,000 seats have been sold on Qantas and Jetstar’s domestic networks, following confirmation of some state borders opening and both airlines increasing capacity to as much as 40 per cent of pre-crisis levels.

“We know that these low fares will encourage even more people to get on a flight to take a short holiday or visit family and friends,” said Mr Joyce. “This is a great opportunity to go to the amazing places in our own backyard that you haven’t got around to seeing like the Barossa Valley or the Great Barrier Reef.”

The airlines have both increased flexibility on bookings and implemented a range of new safety measures to ensure optimum comfort and peace of mind for all passengers.
