Jetstar

Jetstar is the low-cost carrier subsidiary of the Qantas Group, so pick your fare, then book through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. It operates primarily out of Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Perth, Cairns, Adelaide) with international routes into Singapore, Bali, Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Auckland and Honolulu. For SG-based travellers, Jetstar is mainly a budget option for Australia. Book on jetstar.com or the Jetstar mobile app.

Yes. Jetstar flights earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points and status credits when the QFF number is entered at booking (fare bundle dependent: Starter fares earn less than Plus, Max, or Business Class fares). Jetstar is not a current KrisFlyer partner airline as of 2026, so SG travellers relying on KrisFlyer earn should verify the partner list on singaporeair.com before booking Jetstar to accrue miles. ShopBack Cashback is paid separately in SGD to your ShopBack wallet regardless of frequent-flyer accrual.

Out of Changi, Jetstar Airways, the Australian Qantas Group carrier, flies to Australia. Jetstar Asia, the Singapore-based subsidiary that ran short-haul flights from Changi to cities such as Bangkok, Phuket and Ho Chi Minh City, stopped flying on 31 July 2025, so Jetstar no longer covers those short-haul routes from Singapore. Verify current SG-outbound Jetstar schedules on jetstar.com before booking.

Jetstar is not part of a global airline alliance (Star Alliance, oneworld, or SkyTeam). It benefits from Qantas Group codeshares and interline arrangements, giving Qantas Frequent Flyer members some cross-group utility. For SG travellers whose primary mileage programme is KrisFlyer, Jetstar flights do not earn KrisFlyer miles as of 2026. For QFF members, Jetstar earns points and status credits when the number is added to the booking. Verify current partner earn charts on jetstar.com frequent flyer partners.

Scoot wins on non-stop out of Changi to more short-haul APAC destinations and integrates into KrisFlyer (earn and Spontaneous Escapes). Jetstar wins on Qantas Group access, direct Australia and NZ short-haul reach, and QFF points earn for travellers whose primary mileage bank sits in Qantas. For SG-to-Australia budget travel Jetstar is worth pricing; for SG-to-APAC short-haul Scoot typically wins on non-stop convenience. Compare fare depth in the exact travel window before locking. Both are ShopBack Cashback-eligible on eligible direct fares. For a deeper look, see Scoot vs Jetstar Asia vs AirAsia 2026: SG Budget Airline by Route.

AirAsia wins on Malaysia and Southeast Asia LCC density via Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok hubs. Jetstar wins on Australia and NZ reach and Qantas Group codeshare access. For a Southeast Asia short-haul city pair AirAsia typically wins; for an Australia or NZ trip Jetstar is often the LCC of choice. Compare fare depth in the exact window on both sites. Both are Cashback-eligible via ShopBack when booked through the respective airline merchant page.

Jetstar Starter fares include 7 kg cabin baggage (one main bag plus one small personal item, combined weight limit) with no checked baggage. Plus bundle adds 20 kg checked, meal, and standard seat select. Max bundle adds 30 kg checked, meal, seat select, and full flexibility. Additional checked bags can be pre-purchased via Manage My Booking (cheaper) or at the airport (most expensive). Verify current bundle inclusions on jetstar.com before travel; ancillary pricing rises the closer you buy to departure.

Jetstar runs recurring Friday Frenzy flash sales, Return for Free promos, and periodic Kids Fly Free windows. For the rest of 2026, bigger fare drops tend to align with 11.11 (November 11), Black Friday (November 27, 2026), Cyber Monday (November 30, 2026), 12.12 (December 12) and the year-end summer sale (December to January, targeting the Australian summer); earlier in the year, the Great Singapore Sale (June to July), 9.9 and 10.10 windows also carried fare drops. Verify current sale windows and route lists on jetstar.com before booking; sale fares typically carry blackout dates and Starter-only restrictions.

Go through ShopBack Singapore before you pay: click through from the ShopBack Jetstar merchant page at shopback.sg/jetstar to jetstar.com and complete the booking. The current Cashback is shown on the Jetstar merchant page on ShopBack before you book.

With ShopBack Singapore, Starter fares are generally non-refundable, so the fare itself is usually not returned when you cancel, though taxes and pre-paid ancillaries may be recoverable, while Plus and Max bundles offer more flexibility. Check your fare's rules on Jetstar before you cancel or change.
