Jetstar to launch Melbourne to Margaret River flights from February 2021 [now April 2022]

[henrus]

As you predicted, first flight available for booking is now 2 March...

Even 2 March 2022 is looking unlikely. The only thing that'd save this flight is an uncontrolled omicron spread through WA to bring them inline with the rest of the country/world.

Rather be on Holiday Sale Begins

Hey JetStar Connaisseurs, Just thought I'd share that JetStar has a travel sale on right now, primarily for domestic travel within Australia, although there are a couple of long-haul domestic destinations (i.e. Honolulu) and overseas destinations like Bali available too. One of the nice thing...

It'll be cancelled.

If you paid cash you'd be eligible for a refund (must use jetstart chat option). If you paid with a credit or Qantas points you'd get a refund back to that form of payment.

You'd be surprised apparently

So, the million dollar question is........IF McClown opens the border in time for my nephew‘s wedding on 19th March are Jetstar likely to bring the commencement date forward? The wedding is in Margaret River and it would be way more convenient to fly out of there than Perth

It'll be full of everyone who over the last 2 and a bit years had constantly bumped back their seats on the flight.
