Australian travellers will be able to book hundreds of thousands of half-price airfares to more than a dozen regions.

This comes as part of the federal government’s $1.2 billion tourism package to drive economic recovery in tourism-reliant regions.

Destinations will include Gold Coast, Cairns, the Whitsundays, Alice Springs, Broome, Kangaroo Island, Launceston, Avalon and Merimbula.

Subsidised routes are largely inter-state.

Qantas, Virgin and Jetstar are expected to be the main airlines operating under the government’s subsidies.

Visit your chosen airline’s website from April 1 to take advantage of the cheap flights.
