"Hundreds of thousands of half-price airfares will be available to Australians within weeks, as part of the Federal government’s billion-dollar bid to get domestic travellers back in the air.Between April 1 and July 31, 800,000 flights will be available to the Gold Coast, Cairns, Whitsundays/Mackay, Sunshine Coast, Lasseter and Alice Springs, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie, Broome, Avalon, Merimbula, and Kangaroo Island.To book a flight, people simply have to log onto major airline websites, including Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin, from April 1.Other smaller operators may opt in on the serviced routes chosen by the government, but they must have been running the route for at least two years.There are expected to be about 46,000 half-price tickets available per week for the 13 destinations, chosen based on their historical reliance on aviation tourism between the months of April and July."
