Big travel deals predicted to come soon following Jetstar's $22 flights
Travel is slowly returning to normal and our major airlines are slashing fares, with Jetstar offering flights from major cities to our favourite holiday destinations for just $22.
"They really want to entice people back into the air and they want to give you an offer that's almost too good to be true," Australian Traveller co-founder, Quentin Long, told A Current Affair.
The destinations are far and wide and if a tropical climate is what you're looking for, Queensland's Cairns and the Whitsundays could be an option for you.
Jetstar is getting in early, ahead of the launch of budget airline Bonza, which is set to enter the market mid-year.
It's offering flights on more than 25 routes to 16 destinations and fares will average $50 one way on shorter flights.
Qantas is launching its Asia Fly Away sale tomorrow which includes return flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide to Singapore starting at $699.
A flight to Delhi from Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide will cost $119 and a flight to Manila from Brisbane or Adelaide will cost $829.
Meanwhile, Virgin Australia has $69 flights until May 10, with its Book Early Fares Sale.
They're also running a weekly Happy Hour sale every Thursday with fares as low as $49.
Experts believe this is just the beginning of sales to be seen both domestically and internationally, with big deals predicted in March and April - with the hope of getting more passengers back in the air.
"You'll see aviation plus tours, plus accommodation deals coming to the market about then," Mr Long said.
"Having competitive and very good value airfares is really important to the tourist market, whether it's in Australia or overseas," Flight Centre chief executive Graham Turner said.
"Everything that we can do to help that inbound and outbound travel is certainly good for the hundreds of thousands of people employed in the travel and tourism industry.
"And good value airfares are a really important part of it.
"The domestic travel, tourism, business travel, will pick up steadily over the next 12 months and I think we will be back to around that 100 per cent mark in around 12 months' time."
Jetstar's sale closes at midnight on Thursday unless sold out prior.
