About the Airline
Jetstar: Jetstar is Qantas’ low-cost subsidiary, flying A320s and A321s across the Tasman from more New Zealand cities than any other budget carrier. As a low-cost airline, fares are for the seat only - checked bags, meals and seat selection are add-ons, so factor those in when comparing.
About the Destination
Sydney: Australia’s harbour city needs little introduction - the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, Bondi and Manly beaches, world-class dining and a packed calendar of concerts, sport and festivals make it an easy pick for a trans-Tasman getaway.
Kiwis, keen for a Sydney escape? Jetstar has return fares to Sydney from six New Zealand cities, with travel dates running from late July 2026 right through to May 2027.
The standout is Hamilton to Sydney from just $444 return, while Christchurch from $593 and Auckland from $613 are also great value for a trans-Tasman hop. Queenstown from $670, Dunedin from $709 and Wellington from $775 round out the set, so wherever you are in Aotearoa there’s a fare on the table.
Jetstar is a low-cost carrier, so remember to factor in checked baggage, seat selection and meals if you need them - pack light and keep the fare low. Whether it’s the Opera House, Bondi, a big concert or just a long weekend of harbourside eating and drinking, grab the dates that work and lock it in.
