Jetstar's Easter sale has cheap NZ flights for under $50 - but only for 8 hours

And the ones to Aussie start at $150!

If you're planning a trip somewhere in Aotearoa, are keen to spend some time in Raro or want to hop over the ditch to Australia - you'll want to be ready at midday today. 

Block out your lunch break, cancel your meetings, make sure your wifi connection is strong, because Jetstar's Easter sale could see you snap up super cheap flights, if you can be quick about it. 

For just eight hours today, starting at 12pm, domestic flights around the motu start at $42 one way, and there's a bunch of international deals from $150. The sale will end at 8pm sharp.

The travel dates vary, but include May through to mid-September, so you could be winging your way somewhere as soon as next month. As always, you'll want to make sure to check all the Ts and Cs and read the fine print. 

Jetstar's Easter Sale fares include: 

Domestic flights: 

  • Christchurch to Wellington from $42 

  • Auckland to Wellington from $44 

  • Auckland to Christchurch from $49

International flights: 

  • Hamilton to Sydney from $152

  • Auckland to Sunshine Coast from $154

There's more Jetstar routes popping up all over New Zealand at the moment - with the first flights from Christchurch to Cairns launching earlier this month. Services from Hamilton to Sydney and the Gold Coast will kick off in June.

If you haven't used up all your time off doing a sneaky extra long Easter or Anzac weekend, surely you've earned a little getaway.
