Cheap Cairns airfares launched to encourage visitors to North Queensland
A campaign has been launched to encourage Australians to head north to soak up some sun. 

Tourism Tropical North Queensland has announced airfares discounted by up to $125 to visitors over the next six months.

Chief Executive Officer Mark Olsen said the fares would be available from today for travel between November and May 2025. Discounted airfares are hoped to bring travelers to the region to support tourism operators and local communities.

Olsen said inbound flights booked through Webjet would be discounted by up to $125 for interstate travellers and up to $100 for intrastate travellers travelling to Cairns.

The timing, coming in the low season for the tourism operators, actually provided a wealth of opportunites for visitors, says Olsen.

“The rainforest is at its greenest, wildlife such as cassowary chicks can be seen with their dads, the Great Barrier Reef is crystal clear after the annual coral spawning, and our famous mangoes are in season,” he says.

The initiative has received support from the Australian and Queensland Government and is hoped to bring more than 19,000 additional visitors to the region.

“Webjet are thrilled to partner with Tourism Tropical North Queensland to offer Aussies discounted airfares to Cairns, making it more affordable to explore this incredible part of the country,” said Webjet OTA Chief Executive Officer David Galt.

“Whether it’s discovering the lush rainforest of Kuranda, snorkelling in the world-famous Great Barrier Reef, or simply unwinding on the pristine sands of Palm Cove, Cairns is a destination that continues to captivate.

“This sale allows travellers to reconnect with the natural beauty that makes our country truly unique and co create unforgettable memories in one of Australia’s most iconic travel destinations.”
