Jetstar’s Autumn Destinations

Low fares leader Jetstar wants to put you in the mood for travel this coming fall season.

Embrace the upcoming season of mild temperatures in the northern hemisphere from September through November, with its multi-coloured foliage, cultural mid-autumn festivities, spooky Halloween and more. You can enjoy the beauty of autumn and get reprieve from the sweltering heat from two hours away from Singapore.

Treat yourself and your loved ones to a colourful, fun and affordable getaway in Asia with Jetstar’s all day, every day, low fares. Fall for these five autumn recommendations from Jetstar:

1) Vietnam for the Mid-Autumn festivities: Join the locals in Ho Chi Minh during Vietnam’s Mid-Autumn festival on 22 September as children parade on the streets in beautiful costumes. Lucky onlookers may even get to enjoy the captivating Lan Su Rong, a dance about the unicorn, lion and dragon by martial artists. Jetstar flies double daily from Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City from $73 one-way all inclusive (JetSaver Light#).

2) Get spooked in Hong Kong: When the summer heat recedes and the crowds disappear, thrilling Halloween festivities take place around Hong Kong Island. From September through October check out the many street parties in Lan Kwai Fong and SoHo or head down to the shopping malls to try unique foodstuffs like ‘bat’ egg tarts and a range of pumpkin-inspired dishes. Jetstar flies double daily to Hong Kong from $158 one-way all inclusive (JetSaver Light#). Read more…
