What is Club Jetstar?

You've probably seen those tempting purple price tags on the Jetstar website and wondered how do I get that price? And the answer is joining Club Jetstar.

It's is a yearly membership program offered by the low-cost carrier Jetstar for any customer willing to join. For an annual fee, members can gain access to a variety of benefits (see below) designed to make flying with Jetstar more convenient and more affordable. And it's not just for you! Club Jetstar benefits can be used for bookings of up to four people, so you can help your friends and family save, too.

What are the benefits of Club Jetstar?

The benefits of Club Jetstar include early access, member-only fares, 20% off bags and seats, and Jetstar Hotels voucher. Here is a complete breakdown of each Club Jetstar benefits:

Discounted Fares

Club Jetstar members get access to exclusive member fares on selected Starter and Business Class fares. This means you might find lower prices on flights compared to what non-members see. However, keep in mind these discounted fares are typically for specific routes and travel dates.

Look for the purple price tag next to the orange one. Club Jetstar members can pay the cheaper, purple price.

Early Access to Sales

Another perk is early access to Jetstar's flight sales. This gives you a head start on booking flights at potentially lower prices before they're released to the general public. This can be especially helpful if you're flexible with travel dates and want to snag the best deals.

You'll usually get a head start by about 24 hours, which also means you have first dibs on tickets that may sell out pretty quickly.

Exclusive salve

It's not just early access, but the airline does offer sales that you simply can't access unless you're a Club Jetstar member.

20% off baggage and seat selection fees

Save money on checked baggage and seat selection fees with your membership. This can add up to be a significant saving, especially if you typically check in luggage or prefer to choose your seat in advance. Remember, some fares might already include checked baggage, so factor that into your decision.

Share the benefits

A unique perk is the ability to share your membership benefits with up to four travel companions on the same booking. This allows friends and family travelling with you to also enjoy discounts on baggage and seat selection.

So if you're able to get fares that are $15 less than non-member prices, you'll save a total of $60. That almost pays for the entire membership!

Jetstar hotel voucher

New members and those renewing their membership receive a $50 Jetstar Hotels voucher to use on their next accommodation booking (minimum spend of $150 applies) on the Jetstar website.

Partner offers

Club Jetstar members can access exclusive deals and discounts from various partners, including car rentals and other travel-related services.

Here's a few examples of where you can save:

Endota Spa: 20% off products and 8% off gift cards
Hertz Car Hire: 15% off car rentals
Qantas Frequent Flyer membership: Join for free and avoid the AU$99.59 fee
Travel insurance: 20% off when booking through Jetstar

Is it worth joining Club Jetstar?

Deciding if Club Jetstar is a good fit depends on your travel style. Here are some key things to consider:

Frequency of flights: Do you fly with Jetstar often? The more you fly, the more you can potentially save with membership perks like discounted fares and baggage fees.
Travel group size: Traveling with a crew? Club Jetstar lets you share membership benefits with up to four companions on the same booking. This can be a great way for everyone to save on checked luggage and seat selection.
Extra purchases: Do you typically add checked baggage or seat selection to your flights? The membership discount on these extras can add up over time, making the membership fee more worthwhile.
Is booking directly with Jetstar the lowest fare? Sometimes online travel agencies (like Traveloka) do have exclusive rates that aren't even available direct. Club Jetstar memberships don't apply to bookings made outside of the Jetstar site, so we always recommend shopping around when making a booking decision.

Book your Jetstar flight and get the best experience at an affordable price with our great deals in Traveloka! While you are planning your itinerary, make sure you book activities, flight, and hotel in Traveloka too.
