Good news for wine lovers from the Hunter Valley wanting to visit Tasmania. And vice versa.
Jetstar today announced the first direct flights from Hobart (above) to Newcastle, with sale fares available from $59 one-way (good luck!).The news came as QantasLink relaunched two routes out of Hobart, with flights to Perth restarting last month and flights to Canberra set to take off in late October.
These three routes will boost Qantas Group capacity by more than 76,000 seats a year in and out of the Tasmanian capital, supporting tourism and providing more travel options for residents.
The Hobart to Newcastle route will initially run from December 2, 2025, until April 21, 2026.
