Jetstar are offering customers a Jetstar credit voucher to the full value of their untraveled booking. 

This policy applies to all Jetstar Airways domestic and international travel in and from Australia and New Zealand, for flights departing up to 23:59 (local) 31-JUL-20.

Voucher requests must be made by 30 April 2020. Note: Customers on cancelled flights are still entitled to obtain a voucher post 30 April. 

We’ve also extended the voucher validity to 12 months. So customers will have 12 months to use their credit voucher on any available flight. This means they’ll have about 2 years to travel.

Vouchers can be redeemed up to the stated value in one booking only within 12 months of issue - a fare difference, if any, will apply. Person named on voucher must be passenger OR the contact on new booking. 

A conditional credit will be applied to: 

• Tigerair customers who purchased a ticket on or before 20 April 2020, and their flight was cancelled and who have not been provided with a refund/flight credit/compensation/reaccommodation
• Tigerair customers who currently hold a valid Tigerair flight credit with an immediate need to travel and who wish to transfer their Tigerair flight credit to a conditional credit to use on domestic flights operated by Virgin Australia Airlines or Virgin Australia Regional Airlines during the period of administration

Conditions for use: 

• The Conditional Credit can be used for any Virgin Australia or Virgin Australia Regional Airlines flight booking (including flight extras such as seat upgrades and extra baggage allowance) during the administration period (at this stage, approximately 15-August).
• We are unable to offer use of the conditional credit on flights with Virgin Australia codeshare partners or for any other good or service other than flights.
• The Conditional Credit is not transferable and can only be used for passengers who were on the original booking, although not all passengers need to be flying.
• The amount of your Conditional Credit is equal to the amount you paid for your original booking (including taxes and amounts paid for flight ancillaries but excluding fees). Any amount you don't use remains valid for use during the administration period.
• If you use your Conditional Credit to book a flight, you will be offered a new Conditional Credit in the event your booking is cancelled, regardless of your fare type.
• If your Tigerair Australia flight credit is transferred to a conditional credit, it cannot be transferred back to a Tigerair flight credit.
