Jetstar is inviting Kiwis to ditch the cold with cheap international flights to Thailand, Bali and Japan

In this economy? Yes please.

Jetstar’s turning 16 in Aotearoa, and instead of getting the presents, they’re giving them in the form of cheap-as flights.

They’ve dropped the details early, so you’ve got time to book that annual leave and make your workmates jealous while you plan your mid-winter escape.

With over 55,000 one-way flights from mid-July, it's come just in time to ditch the cold for a bit of sunshine and adventure.

Whether you're keen to soak up the sun in Bali or Thailand, or tick off the stunning views of Japan, these sale prices are making it very tempting to hit the sky.

Maybe this kind of travel isn’t in your budget - I mean, hello, cost of living crisis. You can still get a change of scenery domestically from just $55. 

Club Jetstar members get first dibs from midday today, and the sale opens to everyone else at midnight. The sale ends 11.59pm on Saturday 14th of June, so you've only got this week to lock in your plans.
