Jetstar has the cheapest with flights from $34 across Australia and $169 overseas. These are one-way prices.

While most airlines play by these rules, sometimes you'll get some early starters.
Jetstar, Qantas and Virgin Australia have flight deals in 2023.
Qatar, Emirates and Air New Zealand don't seem to be participating this year.
Online travel agencies and aggregators including Flight Centre, Expedia, Budget Air, Skyscanner and Kayak are also worth keeping an eye on over the Boxing Day sale period. They often offer promo codes with extra discounts.
Some can even save you more than when booking direct with the airline. Plus, they help you compare prices on various sites to make sure you're getting the best fare.
Yes. This year Jetstar had a Christmas sale on 7 December with flights from $39 on the table.
This is nothing new for the budget airline,w hich has launched a Christmas sale in both 2021 and 2022.
Other airlines aren't quite as eager, most waiting until Boxing Day to drop fares.
This year's sales are similar to, or slightly more expensive than last year's.
With inflation and the cost of fuel increasing, this increase is understandable.
Taking advantage of the flight sales during Boxing Day can definitely get you more value for money, so here are some tips to help you get the flight you want:
