It’s happening again: every now and then, Jetstar gives travellers a mighty fine reason to head to Japan (if the country’s long list of existing drawcards, including its food scene, teamLab’s digital art gallery and Studio Ghibli’s very own theme park, to name a mere few, aren’t enough already). When the Australian airline drops discounted fares to Tokyo and Osaka, they get snapped up quickly, too. If a getaway to either city is exactly what you need before 2025 is out, then, take note.
The Australian airline usually has a sale of some description on offer at any given time; however, this one is only about discounted fares to Japan. This isn’t among the carrier’s return-for-free sales, but prices start at $249 one-way, still nabbing you a considerable bargain.
Whichever of Tokyo and Osaka that you decide to fly into, Jetstar’s new special will take you there while being nicer to your bank balance. The sale kicks off at 12pm AEST on Monday, May 19, 2025 for Club Jetstar members and at 12am on Tuesday, May 20, 2025 otherwise. Then, you’ve got until 11.59pm AEDT on Friday, May 23, 2025 to book, unless the discounted flights are sold out earlier.
This round of bargain fares covers direct flights from Cairns, Brisbane and Sydney, plus connecting flights out of Melbourne (Tullamarine) and Adelaide.
The cheapest price will get you from Cairns to Osaka, while Cairns to Tokyo costs $279. Brisbane fares start at $309 to Osaka and $429 to Tokyo, while Sydney’s are $339 and $394 to the same cities. Melbourne’s prices are $377 and $407, and you’ll pay $394 and $424 from Adelaide.
While travel dates vary, early October through to mid-December 2025 is among them. The normal Jetstar caveat applies, of course, as well as the standard advice to pack light: as is usually the case with airline, checked baggage is not included.
Jetstar’s Japan sale kicks off at 12pm AEST on Monday, May 19, 2025 for Club Jetstar members and at 12am on Tuesday, May 20, 2025 otherwise, running until 11.59pm AEDT on Friday, May 23, 2025 — unless it’s sold out earlier.
