Jetstar’s Bangkok to Melbourne one way flight special is available 8 March until midnight 18 March 2007 for travel on Jetstar between 19 March — 25 June 2007, (excluding the period 2 April — 15 April 2007.)

According to Jetstar Chief Executive Officer Alan Joyce, Jetstar’s competitive low fares and regular direct flights between Thailand and Australia since November, have been operating ahead of expectation for the value based carrier.
These international services include 3 times weekly return flights directly between Bangkok and Melbourne and 3 times weekly between Phuket and Sydney.
Mr Joyce said Jetstar would continue to strive to be the low fare leader in every market it flew, including both its strong performing Thailand — Australia long haul routes.
“We lead the low fare market in Australia, a positioning we believe is also taking place in Thailand with our attractive fares and value for money product to Australia,” Mr Joyce said.
“Bangkok and Phuket are two of the most popular tourism destinations in Asia for Australians and for Thai residents Australia is equally a becoming an attractive and affordable place to visit.
“Passengers are responding enthusiastically to our “choices” product and two classes of service including StarClass offering business class style comfort at a value for money fare.
