Calling all Lord of the Rings fans and travel enthusiasts! Jetstar has just unveiled a brand-new route that’s sure to get you excited. Starting June 16, 2025, Jetstar will be offering direct flights from Sydney, Australia to Hamilton, New Zealand, a destination that’s brimming with magical experiences.
Hamilton, nestled on New Zealand’s North Island, is renowned for its iconic attractions, including the breathtaking Hobbiton Movie Set, where you can step into the enchanting world of Middle-earth. But the magic doesn’t stop there! Hamilton is also home to the mesmerizing Waitomo glowworm caves, where you can witness thousands of bioluminescent creatures illuminating the darkness, and the rejuvenating Rotorua hot springs, offering a chance to unwind and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the region.
This new route marks Jetstar’s first foray into Hamilton, offering over 75,000 affordable seats each year between Sydney and New Zealand’s North Island. The increased connectivity will not only make it easier and more affordable for travelers from Australia’s east coast to explore destinations like Rotorua and the Bay of Plenty, but it will also give a boost to Sydney’s tourism industry by bringing thousands of New Zealand tourists to the city and injecting millions into New South Wales’ economy.
So, are you ready to embark on your own Middle-earth adventure? Book your flight with Jetstar and experience the magic of Hamilton, New Zealand firsthand.
