Jetstar takes off between Sydney and Queenstown
More Australians will be able to visit Queenstown with new low fare connections from Sydney introduced by Jetstar by the end of the year.
From 23 December, Jetstar will operate a twice-weekly Sydney-Queenstown flight with an every-day lead-in fare starting from NZD/AUD$199 one-way at Jetstar.com. Frequency of existing Melbourne-Queenstown services will also increase to three per week (an additional weekly service).
Jetstar’s every day lead-in Sydney-Queenstown fares are at least 30 per cent cheaper than existing fares on the route.
Jetstar Australia & NZ Chief Executive Officer David Hall said the airline was offering better value to customers by introducing low fares for travel between Sydney-Queenstown.
“Jetstar’s fares are consistently low, which makes it easier for people to travel and leaves them with more money to spend when they arrive,” Mr Hall said.
“As we keep expanding our network in New Zealand, and in fact right across the Asia Pacific region, we see our low fares enable people to travel more often. It shows the ability we have to put more tourist destinations and more visits to friends and family within reach,” he said.
