Jetstar Qantas flight sale: $39 discount fares after borders reopen

Two of the nation’s major airlines have slashed fares on flights around the country following news on state borders.

Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk made the captain’s call on Tuesday, with Greater Sydney’s hotspot declaration to be revoked on December 1.

The premier said Queensland will also reopen to Victoria next Tuesday, assuming the state surpasses the 28-day threshold on Wednesday.

Families and travellers from NSW and Victoria can finally swap border passes for boarding passes, allowing them to make their plans for the upcoming holiday season.
