This simple trick can save you 10% on your flights
We’re always happy to hear about new ways to save money here at Over60, so when we heard about this incredible travel tip, we couldn’t resist sharing it with you.
You might have noticed in Jetstar’s ads, they claim they’ll beat any competitor’s airfare by 10 per cent. Sounds great, right? The only problem is, they don’t exactly make it easy for you. So let’s break it down.
First, you need to find the flight you’re looking for on a competitor’s website, save the URL and take note of the time and price of the flight.
Now, go to Jetstar and find the closest comparable flight. For international flights (with the exception of New Zealand), the flight has to be on the same date and must fly direct to the destination – no stopovers. For domestic (or New Zealand) flights, the flight needs to be within the same hour (either side) as the original flight.
Then, click here to visit their Price Beat Guarantee page and then click “Apply Now”. You’ll be taken to a live online chat with a customer service representative who will make sure your flight is eligible for the 10 per cent discount, and there you have it.
It could potentially save you a decent amount of money, but as with all good things, there are a few caveats – including the ever-annoying “checked baggage not included” clause. However, if you’re happy to abide by the terms and conditions, you’ve gotten yourself an easy discount on your next flight. Enjoy!
