More than one million heavily discounted airfares for flights across Australia are up for grabs with #Qantas & #jetstar starts from $35
More than one million heavily discounted airfares for flights across Australia are up for grabs with Qantas, QantasLink, and Jetstar today launching the biggest combined Qantas Group domestic flights sale of the year.
One-way fares starting from just $35* on Jetstar and $99^ on Qantas and QantasLink are now available for travel across Australia next year, helping Australians plan ahead for their 2023 holidays, weekend getaways, or friends and family visits. Business class fares are available from $499^ on Qantas.
More than a quarter of the sale fares are under $200 for Qantas and 70 percent of Jetstar sale fares are under $100. That leaves more money to spend on activities, which in turn supports tourism and small business operators across Australia, so it’s a win for both travelers and Australian tourism.
“Lots of the Jetstar fares are less than the cost of a taxi to the airport, while the Qantas fares come with checked baggage, complimentary food and beverages, free Wi-Fi and seat selection are great value for those who can plan ahead.”

Emirates’ flagship A380 made a landmark touchdown at Christchurch Airport today, marking the resumption of its daily service from Dubai to Christchurch via Sydney after more than three years.
The special service was greeted by a crowd of spectators at the Christchurch Airport boundary, who watched as the iconic aircraft taxied through a ceremonial water canon salute, before parking in view of trade, media, and VIP guests at the international terminal.
Outbound EK412 left Dubai at 10:15 local time, stopping briefly in Sydney before arriving in Christchurch at 13:55 hours the next day, New Zealand time. The resumption of the Dubai to Christchurch route headlines a planned ramping up of seating capacity across Emirates’ global network, after boosting operations 31% (total ASKMs) since the beginning of its financial year. This operational boost included the re-introduction of Emirates’ nonstop A380 route from Auckland to Dubai in December of last year.
Emirates’ A380 return to Christchurch is also welcome news for South Island producers, with SkyCargo again supporting the export of 15 to 18 tonnes of daily goods across the Tasman. The airfreight will provided much-needed airfreight from a broad range of exporters, including Central Otago cherries, prime New Zealand lamb, and premium seafood, as they continue on to destinations around the world.
Both North and South Island customers will now have direct access to daily Emirates A380 services, providing greater levels of flexibility and choice when making travel plans and providing seamless connectivity and reduced transit time when travelling to other destinations across the airline’s global network, including destinations in Europe and the Middle East. Travellers looking to venture beyond the airline’s gateways will also have more connection opportunities to 55 cities across Australia and New Zealand through Emirates’ long-standing partnership with Qantas.
Restart of Christchurch via Sydney
The A380 flight operates as EK 412 and EK 413. Emirates flight EK 412 departs Dubai at 1015hrs, arriving in Sydney at 0700hrs. The flight will then continue, taking off from Sydney at 0845hrs, arriving in Christchurch at 1355hrs. EK 413 will then depart Christchurch at 1820hrs, arriving in Sydney at 1940hrs. The final leg of EK 413 will depart to Dubai at 2145hrs, arriving at 0515hrs local time.
Customers in Christchurch will not only be able to enjoy the airline’s flagship aircraft, but will also experience the debut of the highly sought-after Premium Economy cabin and latest products across every class of travel.
