If you love good deals (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t?), Jetstar is one of the best ways to stretch your travel dollars without cutting back on the fun. Whether you’re zipping between cities on domestic flights or jetting off on international flights across the ditch, Jetstar makes it easy to travel smart, save big, and still enjoy a comfy ride. At Mix & Match, we're all about helping Kiwis travel better for less, so Jetstar is a natural fit.
Jetstar is famous for keeping prices low, which means more room in your budget for the things that really matter. Fancy cocktails in Melbourne, epic shopping in Sydney, or that must-do activity you’ve been eyeing up? Yes please. Jetstar’s wallet-friendly fares on popular routes like Auckland–Wellington make spontaneous trips far more doable.
Jetstar connects all the places you want to be. Need to scoot from Auckland to Wellington for a last-minute weekend away? Sorted. Planning a sunshine-filled holiday in the Gold Coast? Too easy. Their network covers major NZ cities and a heap of Aussie favourites, plus select Asia routes… perfect for Kiwis who love a good adventure without the hefty price tag.
At Mix & Match, we love options and Jetstar delivers. With their pick-and-choose style, you can build a fare that suits your travel style. Want extra legroom? Grab it. Only flying with a backpack? Skip the checked baggage. Need flexibility? Upgrade your bundle. You’re never stuck paying for things you don’t need, which makes Jetstar an easy choice for travellers who like to keep things simple (or customised — your call!).
Jetstar is already budget-friendly, but with a few simple travel hacks, you can save even more:
Booking your checked bag online with Mix & Match before you fly costs far less than paying for one at the airport. It’s one of the easiest ways to keep your travel costs down and your future self will thank you.
Don’t get stuck paying for more weight than you actually need. Jetstar lets you choose between different baggage allowances, like 15kg, 20kg, or more. You can even purchase up to 40kg of checked baggage per ticket, and there’s no limit to how many bags you bring — as long as no single bag weighs over 32kg. Families especially love this, because you can split your total allowance across multiple smaller bags.
Jetstar’s 7kg carry-on is a combined allowance, meaning your handbag, backpack, laptop bag, and cabin suitcase together must stay under 7kg. A quick weigh before you leave home can save you a surprise charge at the airport.
Jetstar’s bundles let you add baggage, seat selection, and flexibility at a discounted price. It’s like a little travel value-pack, perfect for anyone who loves a good deal.
Families, couples, and friend groups can guarantee they’re seated together by selecting seats when booking. No more seat-scrambling or awkward mid-flight swaps.
Choose your favourite spot, like extra legroom, up the front for speedy boarding, or a window/aisle seat to suit your style. It’s your trip, so fly your way.
If your fare includes a meal, you can select it up to 24 hours before departure to guarantee your first choice. Even if you don’t have a bundle, you can still pre-purchase food and it’s cheaper than buying onboard.
Jetstar recommends checking in online, and you can do it from 48 hours before your flight. Skip the airport queues, breeze through departure, and start your trip stress-free.
When you've booked your bags, seats, and extras, you can glide through the airport knowing everything's sorted ahead of time.
Jetstar’s fleet of Airbus A320s and Boeing 787 Dreamliners keeps things modern, comfortable. Cabins are clean, the seats are comfy, and the experience is designed to get you from A to B without fuss. Add a snack, bring a book, sit back, and enjoy the ride.
It’s always nice knowing you’re in safe hands. Jetstar Airways Pty is part of the Qantas Group, which means strong safety standards, reliable operations, and all the benefits of a trusted global airline family, wrapped into a low-cost model that keeps fares super sharp.
Let’s be real: finding a great fare shouldn’t feel like a scavenger hunt. At Mix & Match, we lay out the best Jetstar deals so you can compare, customise, and book in just a few clicks. No hidden surprises. No stress. Just simple, smart travel planning.

So… why fly Jetstar? Because it’s affordable, flexible, reliable, and perfect for travellers who want to spend less on getting there and more on making memories once they arrive. And when you book with Mix & Match, it gets even easier.
