$490 Hawaii flights with new Jetstar sale

And that’s the round-trip price.

Black Friday is still weeks away, yet an extended Friday Fare Frenzy Jetstar sale has dropped an incredible deal on Hawaii flights from two Australian cities. Starting at just $490 return, you can say aloha to Hawaii with a direct flight to Honolulu from either Sydney or Melbourne.

Where can I travel from?

You can book direct flights to Honoulu from:

• Sydney … $490 return
• Melbourne … $581 return

Jetstar does let you book connecting flights from other Australian cities as part of this sale, including Adelaide, Brisbane, Hobart and Launceston. They’ll generally cost a couple hundred more than the Sydney or Melbourne fares.

When are these cheap Hawaii flight available?

Flights are available from mid-January to mid-June, but there are blackout dates around the Easter holidays that last a few weeks.

What airline is this Hawaii flight deal with?

Jetstar

What’s included in the price?

These prices are for Jetstar’s most basic fare, which only includes the guarantee of a seat on the plane and a 7kg carry-on bag. If you want to choose your seat, check in a bag or eat during the (10 hour) flight, you can add on those extras at the time of booking via Jetstar’s website.

Can I get any frequent flyer points?

Unfortunately, Jetstar’s base fare doesn’t allow you to collect any points. If you do need to upgrade to include bags or meals, it may be worth going for the Plus fare, which lets you earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points.

Overall, how good is this Jetstar sale?

By booking these Jetstar flights, you’ll pay almost half of what other airlines are charging for this route — and they aren’t all offering direct service like Jetstar is!

For example, the next-cheapest flights compared to the direct Jetstar fares is Fiji Airways. Those flights include stopovers in both directions and take up to 18 hours (!) longer.
