Jetstar and Tourism Tasmania have opened a nationwide airfare sale, with one-way flights to Tasmania from six Australian cities starting at $48.
The Jetstar Tasmania sale runs from today until 11:59pm AEST on Tuesday, 28 July 2026, unless seats sell out earlier, and covers one-way flights on select dates between 12 August 2026 and 17 March 2027.
Travel windows vary by route, and the lead fares exclude checked baggage and are subject to availability and conditions.
Which fares are on sale?
Headline fares include Melbourne to Launceston from $48, Sydney to Launceston from $59, Newcastle to Hobart from $59, Melbourne to Hobart from $69, and Sydney to Hobart from $79.
Additional sale fares cover Adelaide to Hobart from $87, Brisbane to Launceston from $99, Gold Coast to Hobart from $106, and Brisbane to Hobart from $117.
What the sale opens up for travellers
With travel stretching across eight months, the fares span multiple Tasmanian seasons and a full calendar of events, tied to Tourism Tasmania’s “Come Down For Air” campaign.
Winter draws include the Beaker Street Festival in Hobart (14 to 23 August 2026) and the Australian Antarctic Festival (20 to 23 August 2026), alongside cold-climate experiences such as floating saunas and dark sky cruises.
Spring adds the Tasmanian Craft Fair in Deloraine (30 October to 1 November 2026), agriCULTURED in Launceston (5 to 8 November 2026), and the Bicheno Food and Wine Festival (21 November 2026).
Into 2027, the biennial Australian Wooden Boat Festival returns to Hobart’s waterfront (5 to 8 February), drawing more than 400 vessels, followed by A Taste of the Huon at Ranelagh over the March long weekend (7 to 8 March).
Last month, Jetstar announced it would resume direct flights between Sydney and Christchurch (New Zealand) from 26 October 2026, offering the only low-cost option between the NSW capital and the South Island’s biggest city. Read more about that here.
KARRYON UNPACKS: Domestic sales are a quick win for travellers watching the budget, and this one is built around a clear reason to go: pair the fare with a named festival and the trip sells itself. With travel windows running to March 2027, there’s scope to slot in accommodation, car hire and touring around the events calendar rather than just the flight.
