Jetstar Japan Launches Its Super Star Sale
Jetstar Japan (GK) is running a Super Star Sale from noon on September 11, 2026 until 4:59pm on September 15, 2026, covering routes to and from Hokkaido and Okinawa. Economy class Starter fares start at ¥3,990 one way, with a travel period stretching from September 29, 2026 to January 28, 2027 — long enough to cover autumn foliage, winter beach escapes and post-New Year trips.
Eligible routes serve Asahikawa, Sapporo/Chitose and Okinawa/Naha. Departures are available not only from Tokyo/Narita but also from Osaka/Kansai and Nagoya/Chubu, so travellers in all three major metro areas can head north or south. As an LCC fare, no fuel surcharge applies, making the advertised price close to the final cost.

Best Times to Travel
For Hokkaido, early to mid-October — right at the start of the travel period — is peak autumn foliage season. Asahikawa is the gateway to the Daisetsuzan range and the Biei/Furano area, while Sapporo/Chitose pairs well with Otaru and Noboribetsu. From late November onwards the focus shifts to skiing and snowboarding, plus quieter pre-Snow Festival dates.
In Okinawa, swimming is still possible on many October days and accommodation costs ease off after the summer peak. December and January bring comfortable temperatures around 20°C, ideal for escaping the cold on Honshu. Note that the New Year holiday peak is likely excluded, so check the fare calendar day by day.
Points to Note Before Booking
- Sale seats are limited on each route and flight, and sell out quickly.
- Some dates, including the year-end and New Year period, are excluded.
- No fuel surcharge applies, but payment fees and airport charges are extra.
- The Starter fare includes carry-on baggage only; checked bags, seat selection and meals are paid options.
- Changes and refunds may be restricted or incur fees — check the conditions carefully.
- The website and app can be congested right after the sale opens.
Tips for Securing the Lowest Fare
Register an account and save your payment details before the sale opens to speed up checkout during the rush. If you definitely need checked baggage, compare the total cost of a bundled higher fare against Starter plus add-ons — the bundle is sometimes cheaper. For round trips, the cheapest return date often differs from the outbound, so shift dates around in the fare calendar.
Summary
The booking window lasts just over four days, but the travel period runs all the way to January 28, 2027, covering autumn leaves, ski trips and winter sun. With Narita–Asahikawa at ¥3,990 and discounts across Hokkaido and Okinawa routes from Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, travellers with fixed dates should book before 4:59pm on September 15.
