Jetstar, Qantas and Virgin launch half price domestic fares

Last month, the federal government announced that it would be subsidising a range of domestic flights. Under the arrangements, Jetstar, Qantas, and Virgin would provide half-price airfares on a number of routes.

These routes include a range of regional destinations that have done it tough during the pandemic. The fares are available for purchase from April 1 through to the end of July. You can travel pretty much anytime through to the end of September.
