Pack your passport and clear your camera roll—Jetstar has just dropped a sale that’ll have you booking your next big Asian adventure faster than you can say annyeong.

The Aussie budget airline is discounting almost 25,000 fares to some of our bucket-list destinations—Tokyo, Osaka, and Seoul—with prices starting from a seriously tempting $179 one-way. The sale is on now and runs until Sunday, October 12 (AEDT).

  • Melbourne > Osaka or Tokyo (via Cairns) from $294 one-way

Travel dates vary depending on your route but span mid-November 2025 to late August 2026, meaning you can plan for cherry blossom season, powder-perfect ski trips, or Seoul’s sizzling summer street markets.

It’s no secret Aussies are obsessed with Japan—so much so that the country’s on track to welcome over one million Australians in 2025, a record-breaking milestone. Jetstar says bookings to Japan have already climbed 11 per cent this year, with more than a third of travellers locking in flights six months out.

And when it comes to South Korea, let’s just say the K-Pop Demon Hunters effect is real. Between K-dramas, K-beauty, and K-BBQ, we’re deep in our Seoul era—and the stats agree. Jetstar reports ticket sales to Korea are up 24 percent, with more travellers planning ahead for their next kimchi-fuelled getaway.

So whether you’re chasing Tokyo’s best sushi bars, exploring Osaka’s street food markets, or living out your K-drama fantasies in Seoul, this is your sign to hit “book now.
