Jetstar has been flying from Sydney to Rarotonga for one year and to mark the first anniversary of its low-cost flights, the airline is offering discounted fares from just $229 one-way.
Jetstar is currently the only airline operating direct flights between Australia and Rarotonga – the largest of the Cook Islands – using its growing fleet of state-of-the-art Airbus A321neo LR aircraft.
The low-cost carrier’s inaugural flight on 29 June 2023 made history by becoming the first non-stop service between Australia and the Cook Islands by an Australian airline since Ansett in the early 1990s.
With its clear blue waters, white sand beaches and friendly locals, Rarotonga has quickly grown in popularity with Australians. In its first year, Jetstar has carried approximately 50,000 customers between Sydney and Rarotonga.
Local tourism data shows five of the first 10 months of Jetstar’s new service (July 2023 – April 2024) set records for the number of visitors from Australia, with 2000 more visitors arriving each month.
To help more Australians discover this Pacific island paradise, Jetstar is having a sale with fares from just $229^ one way. Travel dates vary but include late January to late Jun 2025.
That’s annoyingly vague, so I just went through and found all the dates and prices and put them in a table below. Hope it helps!
The sale ends at 11.59pm AEST on Saturday 6 July 2024, unless sold out prior.
