Price Beat Guarantee

If you find a published internet airfare on another airline that is lower than the lowest available comparable Jetstar fare on Jetstar.com and you purchase the fare through our call centre, we will beat that lower fare by 10%, provided we can verify the lower fare when you call to book. Another airline’s fare which has less than 20kg checked baggage allowance or excludes checked baggage allowance is comparable to Jetstar’s Starter fare and a fare which includes at least 20kg checked baggage allowance is comparable to Jetstar’s Starter fare with added 20kg checked baggage allowance. The comparable fare must be for a one way direct flight on the same route at a comparable time. See below for more details.

Flights:

If you find a published internet airfare on another airline that is lower than the lowest available comparable Jetstar fare on Jetstar.com, call us to book with Jetstar and we will beat the other airline’s fare by 10% (provided we can verify the lower fare when you call to book). The comparable fare must be for a one way direct flight on the same route at a comparable time.

Baggage:

If the other airline offers checked baggage allowance as an optional extra, or the fare includes up to 19kg checked baggage allowance, we will make a comparison against the price the other airline charges for a fare excluding checked baggage / up to 19kg checked baggage and our Starter fare excluding checked baggage allowance. Any Price Beat Guarantee Jetstar discounted fare will only be available for a Jetstar Starter fare excluding checked baggage allowance. You may then choose to add 15kg – 40kg checked baggage allowance at our usual rates – no discount will apply to any checked baggage allowance. If the other airline’s fare includes at least 20kg checked baggage allowance as a mandatory inclusion, we will make a comparison against the other airline’s price and our Starter fare plus 20kg checked baggage allowance. Any Price Beat Guarantee Jetstar discounter fare will only be available for a Jetstar Starter fare plus 20kg checked baggage allowance. You may then choose to increase your checked baggage allowance, up to 40kg, at our usual rates – no discount will apply to additional checked baggage allowance.
