The sale – which will last until 11.59pm on Thursday unless sold out earlier – includes popular routes like Melbourne to Sydney and Brisbane to Uluru.

Club Jetstar members can access the sale early from 12pm on Tuesday before it opens to the public 12 hours later.
Other destinations include Margaret River, Gold Coast, Cairns, Hobart, Hervey Bay, and Hamilton Island.
Melbourne to Sydney is on offer from $55, and Sydney to Hervey Bay tickets can be bought from $151.
Brisbane to Uluru is priced at $179, as is Melbourne to Busselton, gateway to the WA south west including the Margaret River wine region.

The airline is moving some of its international fleet to domestic routes, which it said would create hundreds of jobs.
About 30,000 Qantas and Jetstar employees lost their jobs in March last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The latter has since expanded its number of domestic routes to 58 – servicing 21 domestic destinations – as the airline attempts to make up for the shortfall in revenue from international flights.
