Jetstar announce free return flights AND rides home with the launch of Jetcar, so taxi who?

Free? Sounds great to me!

Jetstar's Return for free sale is back and if you've been thinking about a holiday in 2023, now's the time to book it.

For 48 hours only, tickets are available to return home for free, starting from just $59 for flights between Christchurch and Wellington.

The sale starts midnight tonight, and runs until till11.59pm on March 9th or until tickets sell out. Sounds like you'll have to suss your travel plans quickly if you want that getaway.

The prices for other flights around Aotearoa include:

Jetstar's Head of New Zealand, Shelley Musk, said the airline wanted to bring some joy to Kiwis: "It's been a difficult few months for many Kiwis and with these great low fares, more people have the opportunity to take a well-deserved break or catch up with loved ones."

That's not it though, Jetstar is spreading free joy in another fun way with the launch of JetCar.

Catch a ride home for free, if you spot one of the Jetcars - designated taxis identified by an orange flag - I'm looking at all the Harry Styles fans flying around the country this week!

During the sale, you can hail any participating Jetcars to get a ride home on Jetstar within Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch to the value of $100.

That sounds like music to my wallet!
