- Webjet’s Red Centre Sale has airfares to Uluru from $15
- Jetstar, Virgin Airlines and Qantas slashed prices
Webjet has launched a massive sale on flights to the Northern Territory with airfares from major cities available for as little as $15.
Webjet’s Red Centre Sale has slashed $175 off flights to Uluru and Alice Springs with trips with Jetstar, Virgin Airlines and Qantas from Sydney to the NT starting at $20.
The sale started at 12am on Tuesday and will run through to 11.59pm on Saturday, unless sold out prior.
Customers flying from Brisbane and Melbourne can pick up flights to Uluru from $15 with Adelaide travellers also able to snag airfares to Alice Springs from $70.
The sale applies to all flights from the select airlines departing to Alice Springs and Uluru from November 30.
A Northern Territory Tourism spokesman said the sale is the perfect opportunity for Aussies to explore the outback state.
‘Nestled at the foot of the ancient Tjoritja/West MacDonnell National Park, Alice Springs is the picturesque gateway to the Red Centre,’ he said.
‘Visitors can expect breathtaking outback scenery, stunning desert waterholes, eclectic events, and a thriving arts and culture scene.’
The tourism spokesman claimed there was no shortage of outdoor activities for travellers to take part in at Alice Springs.
‘Must-do Alice Springs experiences include epic sunrise hot air-ballooning over the West MacDonnell Ranges, cuddling adorable baby joeys at Kangaroo Sanctuary, and exploring some of Australia’s leading First Nations art galleries and exhibitions,’ he said.
Uluru also has a long list of options that include drone shows and dinner under the stars.
‘Travellers flying to Uluru will also have a breadth of immersive experiences at their fingertips from new cutting-edge sound, drone and light show Wintjiri Wiru, to Field of Light, dining under wide open starry skies and an array of Aboriginal cultural tours and activities,’ the Northern Territory Tourism spokesman said.
A ban on climbing Uluru, a sacred site for the local Anangu people, came into effect on October 26, 2019.
On 26 October 1985 Uluru and Kata Tjuta – formerly known as the Olgas – were handed back to the Anangu people.
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park’s board of management, made up of a majority of Aboriginal traditional owners, unanimously decided in 2017 to close the climb.
