Jetstar has brought an epic giveaway to both Hamilton and Dunedin to celebrate the launch of its new direct flights to the Gold Coast, commencing next month.
This Thursday, the 29th of May, the low-fares airline will be giving people the chance to win a holiday for four, or one of 40 x NZD 200 Jetstar flight vouchers (20 up for grabs at each location) as Jetstar celebrates its new services from Hamilton and Dunedin direct to the Gold Coast.
To sweeten the deal, the Jetstar team will also be handing out free Gold Coast-inspired ice cream cones outside Base Mall in Hamilton and at Union Lawn at the University of Otago.
To grab a free ice cream and enter the giveaway, travellers should head down to the truck in either city from 12 to 6pm. In order to enter, they must snap a picture with their ice cream cone, and send it to @JetstarNZ as an Instagram DM explaining what they would do first when they land on the Gold Coast.
The pop-ups are part of a collaboration between Jetstar and Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ), giving Kiwis a fun, flavourful preview of what’s waiting across the ditch when flights take off from Hamilton Airport to Gold Coast (Coolangatta) on 18 June and from Dunedin Airport on 24 June 2025.
Jetstar’s Head of New Zealand, Shelley Musk, said the airline was excited to be launching these new direct flights to the Gold Coast.
“Jetstar is continuing to grow in New Zealand, and these flights are two of four new Jetstar trans-Tasman routes to take off this year. The new routes will make it easier than ever for people from New Zealand’s regions to take advantage of Jetstar’s low fares and swap city streets for golden beaches, world-class surf, and theme park thrills,” she said.
“To celebrate the new routes, we’re looking forward to giving away two holidays for four, as well as flight vouchers and delicious ice cream cones.”
Direct flights from both Hamilton and Dunedin to the Gold Coast (Coolangatta) are on sale now at Jetstar.com, with fares from NZD 162 from Hamilton and NZD 180 from Dunedin.
