Flying to Hobart soon? Say goodbye to eastern state stopovers. Jetstar has announced new direct flights between Adelaide and Hobart. The service starts November 14.

Until now, locals travelling to Hobart have had to fly via Melbourne – or Sydney – with a travel time of between four and six hours. The direct flights will be one hour and 50 minutes.

For now, there will be three return flights each week – on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings.
