Fri 04 August 2023
Australia’s newest low-cost carrier has today put thousands of flights on sale for travel over summer from just $49 to $89 (per person one way). Travellers are expected to snap up flights from the Fly Bonza app which is the only place to book direct.
Routes from Bonza’s newest base, Gold Coast Airport*, are on-sale today for the first time after the airline this week announced the popular holiday destination as its third base alongside its Sunshine Coast Airport and Melbourne Tullamarine bases.
“We know travellers have been eagerly waiting for these flights to go on sale and I'm delighted to share that all 33 routes to 17 destinations are now on sale via the Fly Bonza app or your local travel agent,” said Carly Povey, Chief Commercial Officer at Bonza.

“All the things we love about summer just got better with more Aussies now able to fly to more destinations than ever before. Whether it’s catching the Australian Open in Melbourne, devouring Mooloolaba prawns on the Sunshine Coast, sailing in the Whitsundays or getting out on the Murray River in Mildura and Albury, holidays that don’t cost a packet are now at our fingertips,” added Povey.
Povey added the airline has seen around 1.25 million Aussies download the Fly Bonza app and nearly 400,000 people choose to book with Bonza.
The flights on sale today reflect a recently updated schedule from Bonza’s Sunshine Coast and Melbourne bases that created a dedicated spare aircraft - a strategy to increase reliability and improve customer experience. The on-sale milestone also reveals the schedule of flights to and from Bonza’s third base at Gold Coast Airport.
Travellers are encouraged to reload the app for the new flights to be visible.

Bonza is Australia’s new and only independent low-cost airline enabling Australians to explore more of their own backyard for less. Bonza’s current route map includes 3 bases and 33 routes to 17 destinations with a focus on the unserved and underserved markets. Bonza is the first airline globally to take an app first approach with the only place to book direct being the Fly Bonza App. The airline was also the first globally to introduce a gender-neutral ‘wear it your way’ uniform including custom Bonza sneakers. Bonza’s all Aussie menu is the first onboard menu to be 100% sourced locally and is ordered on-demand from the Fly Bonza app meaning there are no trolleys to be seen onboard.
