After months of lockdown, vaccinated residents of NSW will soon be treated to heavily discounted fares to some of the state’s most in-demand regional areas.

To celebrate the announcement of the NSW Government’s reopening of travel for fully vaccinated people from October 18, Qantas and Jetstar will be launching a special sale for NSW regional travel.

From midday September 10, there will be tens of thousands of discounted flights available on several routes across both carriers, including $39 fares from Sydney to Byron Bay via Jetstar, and $109 flights to Orange with Qantas.

The lengthy lockdown for the state saw a multitude of holiday plans cancelled, and this sale couldn’t come at a better time.

“After months in lockdown we know that many people in New South Wales are keen to get away on holidays or see family and friends,” a spokesperson for Qantas said.

“With the NSW Government expected to reopen regional travel around the state from mid-October, we are offering discounted fares to make it even easier for people to get out and see their own backyard as well as see family and friends.”
