Jetstar slashes thousands of fares to New Zealand destinations in 24-hour new route sale

It’s time to pack your bags.

Jetstar has just announced three new travel routes to NZ, with direct flights from the Gold Coast to Hamilton, Gold Coast to Dunedin and Sydney to Hamilton.

As part of the launch, holidaymakers will be able to get ultra-cheap tickets with the airline launching a 24-hour sale on the new routes from Monday, 10am.

Flights will start from just $155, for the Gold Coast to Hamilton, while Sydney to Hamilton is priced from $159, and the Gold Coast to Dunedin from $169.

The new direct flights will begin from June next year.

The services will take off three times a week, creating more than 115,000 new low-cost fares across the Tasman.

On Monday, Gold Coast reporter Tamra Bow appeared on Sunrise to discuss the sale.

“You will soon be able to hop a direct flight between the Gold Coast and Hamilton and Gold Coast and Dunedin in New Zealand for less than $200,” Bow said.

“It is also great news for the Gold Coast as it makes us the most connected airport to New Zealand in Australia, with Jetstar announcing 115,000 additional seats between the two countries.

“To celebrate the route launch they have launched a quick 24-hour sale with tickets up for grabs from 10am this morning.

“You will be able to grab a ticket between the Gold Coast and Hamilton for $155, Gold Coast to Dunedin for $169, or you can fly Sydney to Hamilton for $159 there as well.

“But be warned it is only for 24 hours, and you will have to wait until 2025, the flights don’t take off between Gold Coast and New Zealand until June next year.”
