Jetstar celebrates 1st anniversary of Narita operations with Y8,880 fare to Australia

12 Comments

Qantas Group airline Jetstar on Tuesday celebrated the 1st Anniversary of its Narita services by announcing the start of a special new “Jetstar Grand Prix” consumer campaign in Japan. This campaign will allow Japanese women to apply for the chance to win a return trip to Australia in conjunction with Jetstar’s advertising campaign and the chance to meet Jetstar’s image character, celebrity Becky, in Australia.

Candidates can apply on a special campaign website by submitting a photo and explanation of their personal positive thinking and image of Australia during the period until Jan 31, 2010. Finalists will be invited to an audition in February 2010 from which four candidates will be selected, followed by a process of online peer voting on the campaign site.

The grand prize winner will win a trip to Australia for two people, traveling with Jetstar’s StarClass, a minimum of 4 nights accommodation, and will have the opportunity to meet Becky while in Australia.

Also in celebration of its 1st Anniversary of Tokyo (Narita)-Australia services, Jetstar is providing a special limited time offer for travel from Japan to Australia, allowing travelers to purchase Jetstar return fares at a remarkably low sale fare: Tokyo (Narita)-Gold Coast for 8,880 yen (excluding surcharges, fees and taxes), and Tokyo (Narita)-Cairns for 8,880 yen (excluding surcharges, fees and taxes).

Bookings for this sale can be made until Dec 14, and the special offer is for travel during the period of March 16 2010 to July 13 2010, excluding APril 24-May 6.

SEXIST!!!

There is nothing to celebrate when it comes to this crap airline. Its existance is a croc.

Never had any complaints with Jetstar. Flown with them twice and have tickets for another trip next year. Cheap flights direct overnight back to Australia - no worries there. Take my own sleeping bag (better than any airplane blanket), load up my ipod with movies and stash a few cans in my carry on (Asahi Super Dry folks, otherwise you will get hassled). Until I can afford business class regularly I have no issues with not getting a rubbish in-flight meal or the budget cup of juice offered on other flights. The flights back I had were nearly empty and I got to stretch out over the middle row, nice. Unless the plane crashes or the staff spit in my face, I have a hard time calling them crap. I am using the plane to get back home - not to have my ego stroked.

100% agree, especially when you pay Qantas fares and get code shared on a bargain basement flight. Which of course begs the question, How does a crappy blanket, a couple of beers and tepid meal constitute the difference of approx $1000? So have people been ripped off for a long time and Jestar puts it right (except Qantas owns Jetstar)or do they cut cost on maintenance also?

BTW Whos Becky? Why would I want to meet her/him?

I really, really don't understand that view. We fly Jetstar Singapore to Saigon, and it's fabulous. $150 return!!, reserved seating, morning departure out of Changi's No. 1 terminal, leather seats, internet booking, instant confirmation, etc., etc.

Same as a quality legacy airline, - in some ways even better - but at a fraction of the price. What's to complain about?

We flew Jetstar to GC in April on one of their promotions and it was great - easily better than when we went to Cairns on Qantas...

But who is Becky? And as the first poster said - why only women?

Just this sentence made me decide never to use Jetstar to fly to Australia.

Yeah...why only Japanese women? I want to win this trip but will it be ok not to meet Becky? Sorry, Becky, I'd rather go surfing.

I don't understand why this campaign is addressed to women and as a woman you get to meet Becky. Imagine, as a woman, you would get to meet some handsome Japanese male actor/singer/talent...I mean I wouldn't mind going diving with him at all and I am sure millions of women would enter the campaign.

Just give me the real price which is almost 30,000 yen.Back door crocks.

0 ( +0 / -0 )

haha. 8,800 if you fly on the wings of the plane. I just have this sort of deceiving ads. You lose your time filling in all the fields only to discover in the last one that the real price is 4, 5 times what they advertise.
