Jetstar has added a series of extra flights to international resort destinations for the upcoming festive holiday season. Between 23 December 2011 and 31 January 2012, Jetstar will offer almost 28,000 extra seats to and from Phuket, Bali and Honolulu - 40% more than the same peak period last year.
The low-cost carrier’s daily Sydney-Bali route will see the addition of two extra weekly flights from Thursday 22 December, while three extra weekly flights will be added to the Melbourne-Bali route, taking total seasonal frequency to 10 weekly flights.
In Thailand, Jetstar’s Sydney-Phuket route will rise from four to five weekly flights - the same rate of increase as the airline’s Melbourne-Bangkok flights. Finally, Sydney-Honolulu services will be boosted from daily to nine weekly flights.
The increased schedule has been possible following the delivery of the airline’s 11th wide-body Airbus A330 in late November. The LCC will also be offering iPads to passengers from December.
“Australians are continuing to travel overseas in record numbers and industry estimates suggest this will grow by 11% to 4.7 million this calendar year,” said Jetstar Australia & NZ CEO, David Hall. “We are seeing strong increases in demand to Indonesia, Hawaii and Thailand, which are now the second, third and fourth most popular international destinations for Australians respectively.”
