Surviving the daily grind is a lot more bearable when you’re counting down to your next vacation, whether it’s a quick getaway within the region or an all-out adventure at the destination atop your travel bucket list.
From now till 16th February 2020, Jetstar will be having cheap flight sales which you can save up for simply by foregoing bubble tea or your daily cuppa for a fortnight. Tickets are priced from $58 onwards, and the travel periods last all the way till late October 2020. This means you can snag these cheap tix first, then fly throughout the year as the global health and safety situation hopefully stabilises.

You’ve worked hard to save up for a trip to Taipei by curbing your bubble tea addiction, so it’s only fair to reward your efforts and make up for it in the land of bubble tea itself. You can also look forward to night markets, drool-worthy street food, and cultural hotspots such as Jiufen, an old mining town which served as the inspiration behind Spirited Away’s animated settings.
