Low-priced airline, Jetstar is set to launch a new daily direct service between Auckland and Singapore eventually for the Rugby World Cup.

The new service will commence on March 17 in the subsequent year and preliminary fares could be as low as almost $100 for one way.

Jetstar says that its standard fares on its daily direct flights that will be lower than the only carrier on the same route, Singapore Airlines.

Airline Executive Manager of Operations, Mark Dal Pra said that it will begin selling seats within the next fifteen days time. Though, he could not say that what the final fares would be, the airline launched a Melbourne-Singapore service today with a restricted number of promotional seats at A$99, NZ$122, for one way.

As far as its New Zealand domestic and transtasman services are concerned, passengers will have to shell out extra for food and entertainment and would also depend upon the sort of fare that they are flying on; there will be charges for bags.

An Airbus A330-200 will be put to use on the route with StarClass business class on offer.

Dal Pra said its StarClass was in general at the same price as other carriers' full fare economy seats.

Jetstar Chief Executive, Bruce Buchanan said the new flights would present travelers a range of new reasonably priced travel options.
