Up to 800,000 half-priced flights will go on offer from April 1 in an effort to boost the tourism industry. Here’s how you can get your cheap flight.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced a $1.2 billion rescue package for Australia’s tourism and aviation industries.
As part of the package, 800,000 half price flights to 13 regional destinations will go on sale between April 1 and July 1.
“This is our ticket to recovery – 800,000 half-price airfares to get Australians travelling and supporting tourism operators, businesses, travel agents and airlines who continue to do it tough through COVID-19, while our international borders remain closed,” Prime Minister Scott Morrison told Newsltd.
Morrison is expected to announce more details of the $1.2 billion tourism support package on Thursday.
We do know the flights will be on sale from Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin Australia between April 1 and July 1.

How to get your half-price flight
To book a half-price flight, you will need to log on to the major airline websites. At this stage, the flights will largely be on Qantas , Jetstar and Virgin Australia .
Smaller airlines can opt into the scheme, but they must have been flying the route for at least two years.
According to reports, about 46,000 half-price tickets will be made available each week.
The flights must be for inter-state travel. So you can’t score a ticket from the Gold Coast to Cairns. You can only get a half-price flight to another state.
Remember, the half-price flights will go live on April 1.
