JQ489 is due to depart Newcastle Airport this afternoon carrying more than 160 customers. It will be the first of three weekly return services linking the Hunter Region with Hobart. The new seasonal service until 21 April 2026 will be operated by Jetstar’s A320 fleet, providing more than 22,000 new low-cost seats on the route this season.

Other Newcastle routes in the sale include: Newcastle to Brisbane from $29^ Newcastle to Gold Coast from $29^ Newcastle to Melbourne from $56 Newcastle to Bali (Denpasar) from $215^ Newcastle growth Today’s operational launch comes six weeks after Jetstar restarted international flying from Newcastle, offering four flights a week to Bali (Denpasar) and connections to Singapore. This growth combined with Jetstar’s four existing domestic routes to Brisbane, Cairns, Gold Coast and Melbourne means the airline now operates more than 770,000 seats a year in and out of Newcastle. Jetstar’s Executive Manager Commercial, Lyle Brownscombe, said the airline is proud to be making history in the Hunter. “ This is the first time Newcastle and Hobart have ever been connected by air, and we’re thrilled to be making this route a reality. “Hunter residents can now reach Tasmania’s wilderness, food and wine experiences without the hassle of connecting through other cities - saving time and money. “This service will also boost tourism across Newcastle and the Hunter, allowing more people than ever to experience this region’s stunning beaches and world-class wineries. “I want to extend my sincere thanks to the New South Wales and Tasmanian governments as well as Newcastle and Hobart airports for their strong support of low fares travel and tourism.” Newcastle Airport CEO, Linc Horton, said the launch of the Hobart route continues the airport’s momentum as it grows into a national and international hub. “Today’s inaugural flight to Hobart strengthens our region’s access to the places that matter. “The direct connection to Hobart is a key destination and we thank Jetstar’s continued confidence in our region. “We also thank our government partners, tourism bodies and community advocates who helped make this route a reality.” NSW Minister for the Hunter, Yasmin Catley said: “This is fantastic news for Newcastle and the Hunter. For the first time, Tasmanians will have a direct link into the heart of our region, opening the door to everything we have to offer. “This seasonal service will bring more visitors to our restaurants, wineries, beaches and events, supporting local businesses and creating jobs right across the Hunter. There’s no better time to swap a Tasmanian Tempranillo for a Hunter Region Riesling than this summer. “Through the Aviation Attraction Fund we’re connecting communities, boosting tourism and building a stronger regional economy.” Matt Cocker, COO of Hobart Airport: “The new direct flight to Newcastle unlocks the largest population area in Australia that we weren’t flying directly to previously. “Travellers can save time and money by flying direct between Hobart and Newcastle, rather than via Sydney, and that’s going to really appeal to a lot of holiday-makers.” Steve Farquer, Director of Access and Aviation, Tourism Tasmania: "On behalf of Tourism Tasmania, we are ready and excited to welcome travellers to Come Down For Air on this direct route into Hobart. "From epic wilderness walks, pristine beaches, and iconic museums, to some of the world’s best vineyards and distilleries, Tasmania offers drawcard experiences unlike anywhere else."

CabinZero Pioneers the Underseat Backpack Category with Global Expansion and Sustainability Commitment
A Global Leader in Practical Travel Gear CabinZero’s mission to create the ultimate cabin-sized backpack has revolutionized how travelers experience baggage. The company’s backpacks combine versatility, minimalist design, and lightweight functionality, all aimed at enhancing the travel experience. Born from the frustrations of founder Neil Varden in the early 1990s, the brand has carved out a new category in the luggage market, offering practical travel solutions that cater to modern adventurers. Today, CabinZero is recognized as an award-winning brand with over 2 million bags sold across 80 countries, continuing to lead the industry in cabin-sized travel backpacks. The Journey Behind CabinZero’s Creation The inception of CabinZero can be traced back to a transformative trip to India, where Neil Varden faced the challenges of dealing with bulky, impractical luggage. After three broken bags and growing frustration with the lack of suitable options, Varden decided to take matters into his own hands. What began as an attempt to solve a personal problem has now become a global solution for millions of travelers. Varden’s experiences during these formative years of travel led him to design a lightweight, versatile cabin-sized backpack, a product that was sorely missing from the market. His journey from an unsatisfied traveler to a pioneering entrepreneur is central to the brand’s philosophy today. As Varden recalls, “It all started in India in 1993. The world was in recession, decent jobs were hard to come by, and I was lugging around a massive, impractical bag. After my third trip, I decided enough was enough and downsized to hand luggage. That decision changed my travel life.” Pioneering the Underseat Backpack Category CabinZero didn’t just create a product; it created an entirely new category of luggage. By designing the world’s first underseat backpack, CabinZero revolutionized the way travelers packed and carried their essentials. The brand’s design philosophy centers on making travel simpler and more enjoyable, with backpacks that fit easily under airline seats, making it the perfect choice for budget-conscious travelers who seek hassle-free journeys. The Classic 28L Backpack is one of the company’s standout products, known for its compact size and efficient packing capabilities. It was specifically designed to fit the strict carry-on requirements of budget airlines, making it ideal for travelers looking to streamline their experience while saving time at check-in. Meanwhile, the Military Backpack offers a rugged, versatile solution for those who require a bag that can withstand the wear and tear of both the office and outdoor adventures. Sustainable and Ethical Travel Gear At the heart of CabinZero’s philosophy is a commitment to sustainability and ethical business practices. As a member of 1% for the Planet , CabinZero donates 1% of all annual sales (not profits) to environmental causes, ensuring that the brand’s success also benefits the planet. CabinZero also prioritizes carbon-neutral shipping through a partnership with Shopify’s Planet program, offsetting the carbon emissions from shipping every order. These efforts are part of the company’s broader commitment to creating travel gear that not only supports the journeys of its customers but also contributes to the protection of the environment. “Doing good while going places” is not just a slogan for CabinZero—it’s a core part of its mission. Recognition and Industry Awards CabinZero’s commitment to both innovation and sustainability has earned it several prestigious accolades. The brand was honored with the King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade in 2025, a recognition that celebrates outstanding achievement in global business growth. This award highlights the company’s ability to create a lasting global presence while maintaining a strong commitment to ethical business practices. In addition to the King’s Award, CabinZero’s ADV Dry 30L received the Frontier Awards’ Star Product of the Year in 2019, further solidifying its reputation for producing high-quality, affordable, and functional travel gear. What Sets CabinZero Apart CabinZero’s success lies not just in its products but also in its unwavering focus on customer needs. The company’s bags are designed with the traveler in mind, offering practical solutions that address common pain points in luggage design. The bags are lightweight, durable, and spacious, making them the perfect choice for anyone who wants to travel efficiently and comfortably. “We built CabinZero as a response to frustration, but it became my way of building something with purpose,” says Varden. “Surviving cancer with less than a 50% chance of survival gave me a new perspective on life. CabinZero is a testament to that mindset, and every bag we create carries that legacy.” Looking Ahead: Future Growth and Innovation As CabinZero continues to grow, the brand remains focused on providing products that meet the needs of today’s travelers. With new products on the horizon, including Ultralight Travel T-Shirts and TSA-Approved Locks , the company is expanding its product line to offer even more innovative solutions for travelers. CabinZero is also focused on increasing its global presence, continuing to sell bags in over 80 countries and expanding to new markets. The company’s commitment to sustainability and responsible travel ensures that its success will always be in line with its ethical values. About CabinZero Founded by Neil Varden, CabinZero is a pioneering British brand that revolutionized the travel gear industry by creating the world’s first underseat backpack. The brand’s commitment to sustainability, ethical manufacturing, and quality has propelled it to a global presence with over 2 million bags sold in over 80 countries. CabinZero designs travel backpacks that are minimalist, versatile, and built for effortless travel.

BahamasMotorYachts Reveals Top Luxury Yachts for 2026 As Exumas Boom Draws US Charter Clients
The Bahamas has emerged as the number one yacht charter destination for American clients heading into 2026, according to BahamasMotorYachts. The combination of direct flights from Miami, fast access to Nassau and George Town, and the ability to reach secluded, tropical cruising grounds in just a few hours makes the Exumas a standout. With many larger yachts based in South Florida and an increasing number of local power catamarans joining the scene, availability and options are stronger than ever. Unlike other popular charter regions, a yacht charter in the Bahamas still offers true privacy – something even the Caribbean can’t always guarantee. “In the BVI, you’re almost always sharing an anchorage, and sometimes it’s even hard to fit,” says Carina Isenberg, Yacht Charter Broker with BahamasMotorYachts. “In the Exumas, you can drop anchor with no other yachts in sight – that’s incredibly rare for a destination this easy to get to.” BahamasMotorYachts has access to the full charter market, including many top-tier motor yachts and new-generation catamarans already positioned for the season. The 2026 offering focuses heavily on Bahamas luxury yacht charters designed around marine exploration and flexibility. Whether guests are after kiteboarding, reef diving, sandbar picnics, or just quiet anchorages, the Exumas offers the kind of open, immersive experience many clients are now prioritizing. “Guests today want more than beach clubs and bars – they want freedom, space, and nature,” says Isenberg. “These yachts are floating beach villas. You pick your pace, and the Exumas do the rest.” Captain Chris de Kock adds that for clients looking to charter a yacht in the Exumas , the logistics couldn’t be easier. “You can fly into Nassau and be on board within the hour,” he says. “From there, you’ve got access to blue holes, sharks, deserted islands, reefs, and sandbanks – all in one week.” As part of its ongoing focus on the Bahamas, the team at BahamasMotorYachts attended the 2025 Bahamas Yacht Show to review top charter yachts available for the upcoming season. Here are a few standout options already making waves for 2026, each offering something unique for different types of guests: Hannah – 112ft Westport | 9 guests | from $65,000/week Broker CJ Coetzee calls Hannah “a no-brainer for serious charterers.” Fresh off a $4M refit, it’s in excellent shape with a warm, US-based crew led by Captain Dan and Chef Gillian. With a 35’ tender, STARLINK, and top-tier service, it’s a smart pick for both families and short-notice trips. Beachfront – 108ft Hargrave | 10 guests | from $64,900/week Booked by Nadja Asmus, Beachfront gets rave reviews for its fun, hands-on crew and personal touches. “My client said it was the best trip of their life,” says Asmus. From themed dinners to drone footage and standout food, this yacht punches well above its price. Sweet Escape – 130ft Christensen | 12 guests | from $115,000/week Selected by William Mc Nally for its style and substance, Sweet Escape combines a bold, elegant interior with a seasoned crew and strong charter history. “It feels more like a private home than a typical yacht,” says Mc Nally. The crew is known for their attention to detail and hospitality that guests remember. Romeo Foxtrot – 118ft Hargrave | 10 guests | from $135,000/week Toured by Chris de Kock, Romeo Foxtrot is one of the most impressive tri-decks in its class. Modern, sleek, and equipped with a waterfall jacuzzi, beach club, steam room, and 32’ tender, it’s built for high-end comfort and adventure. Just Enough – 141ft Custom | 11 guests | from $119,000/week Daniel Asmus calls Just Enough “one of the most complete yachts in the region.” With a classic interior, water slide, strong toy lineup, and a crew that consistently delivers, it’s ideal for both first-time charterers and returning guests who want a polished, all-round experience. These yachts and more are compiled in BahamasMotorYachts’ online listings for the best superyachts for charter in the Bahamas in 2026 . The list is made to help clients find the most successful and best-value luxury crewed yachts in the Bahamas. The top yachts are booking out fast, and BahamasMotorYachts is encouraging people to book fast.

Travelers Rediscover Bangladesh’s Living Heritage through Rajshahi and the Shaotal Community
Dhaka, Bangladesh – 23 November 2025 — Deshghuri.com, a Bangladesh tour company known for cultural immersion experiences, has announced a renewed focus on heritage-based travel programs that highlight the country’s deep-rooted traditions. These itineraries bring international travelers into close contact with the cultural landscapes of Rajshahi, the Indigenous Shaotal community, and the rare practice of otter fishing in southern Bangladesh. Located along the Padma River, Rajshahi is widely recognized for its handwoven silk, archaeological sites, and long-standing artistic traditions. As part of Deshghuri.com’s cultural routes, travelers observe regional craftsmanship and historic landmarks that contribute to the area’s reputation as a center of Bangladesh travel . Beyond the city, visitors are introduced to the Shaotal community, one of the country’s oldest Indigenous groups. Guided programs offer opportunities to learn about daily life, community rituals, and traditional music, providing insight into how ancestral customs continue in modern rural settings. One of the most distinctive elements of the itinerary is the introduction to otter fishing Bangladesh is known for—an ancient human-animal fishing partnership practiced today by only a few families in the Narail and Khulna regions. The cooperative method, where trained otters help herd fish into nets, represents a cultural tradition that has been preserved for more than two centuries. “Bangladesh remains one of the few destinations where heritage is lived rather than staged,” said a spokesperson for Deshghuri.com. “Our goal is to create responsible cultural travel experiences that honor local communities while offering visitors meaningful insight into traditions that are rarely seen elsewhere.” Deshghuri.com’s “Trip Like Local” approach emphasizes direct community engagement, encouraging travelers to explore villages, share meals with local families, and visit historic temple complexes such as those in Puthia.

MyItalianCharter Names Italy the Top Destination for Classy Yacht Charters in 2026
MyItalianCharter has named Italy the number one classy yacht charter destination for 2026, combining cultural depth, great cruising conditions, elegant settings, and a fleet of stylish, high-quality yachts. With strong demand for Amalfi and Sardinia, and rising interest in Sicily, Italy continues to set the standard for refined charter experiences. Italy oozes class. From the pastel cliffs of the Amalfi Coast to the quiet bays of Sardinia and the vineyards of Sicily, it remains one of the most visually and culturally rich coastlines in the world. “Who doesn’t want to anchor where Turner painted seascapes, or cruise the same waters that inspired Fellini’s films?” says Yanna Pristas, senior broker at MyItalianCharter . “Our clients want very different things. Some prefer remote island hopping, far from the city buzz, while others are looking for a mix of natural beauty and local culture – places with history, real towns, good food, and a sense of authenticity,” says Pristas. “It’s our job to understand what matters to them. Italy works because it offers class across the board — the food, the culture, the anchorages, and the yachts.” The Amalfi Coast remains the most requested area for luxury yacht charters in Italy , but demand is rising in Sardinia and Sicily. Sardinia yacht charters are gaining traction for their privacy and rugged beauty. Meanwhile, Sicily is becoming a favorite for return clients looking for something different. The MyItalianCharter team cruised Sicily this past summer and brought back glowing reviews. “It’s rich, raw, and real – and becoming one of our personal top picks,” says Nadja Asmus, superyacht charter broker with MyGreekCharter. The 2026 fleet reflects that diversity – from brand-new designs to standout refit superyachts, with full crews and flexible itineraries. For those looking to charter a yacht on the Amalfi Coast or beyond, early booking is advised. The company’s collection includes some of the best luxury yachts for charter in Italy in 2026, with layouts and service options tailored to groups, families, or couples. For guests who want ultimate luxury on their yacht vacation, Italy has very good options with large cabins, onboard chefs, and crews who know the region intimately. The trend is shifting toward quality over flash – vessels that feel like a home, not just a showcase. As bookings for 2026 continue to build, MyItalianCharter reports a clear pattern: clients want authenticity, not just amenities. A luxury yacht charter in Italy experience means more than just cruising – it’s dining on deck in view of ancient ruins, or waking up in a bay that hasn’t changed in centuries. MyItalianCharter is now taking bookings across its full Italy yacht charter fleet, offering fully customized experiences that match the country’s timeless appeal with modern yacht comforts.

In response, MyGreekCharter is expanding its crewed yacht listings and refining itinerary options to match rising demand for remote, authentic cruising grounds. After a strong 2025 season, MyGreekCharter, operated by DMA Yachting, is gearing up for what could be its busiest year yet. The company reports record early demand for luxury yacht charters in Greece heading into 2026. Bookings are up, repeat clients are returning in higher numbers, and a growing number of superyachts are shifting focus to Greek waters. Several factors are driving the trend. “People who’ve chartered in Greece before are coming back, and they are also bringing friends,” says William Mc Nally, charter broker at MyGreekCharter. “What they come for is a cruising ground with endless possibilities and a real chance to be remote – you can actually find a bay where you can be anchored completely alone, which is very rare. They’re not flying in to go shopping and hanging out at beach bars; they’re coming to explore and experience the location that you can only reach by yacht.” The Ionian Sea, in particular, is seeing a spike in interest. Protected from the strong meltemi winds that can disrupt trips in the Aegean, the Ionian offers smoother sailing, easier logistics, and expanding marina infrastructure. That’s helped fuel a new wave of interest in yacht charters in the Ionian Islands , especially among families and first-time guests looking for a stress-free experience. While Italy, the South of France, and Mallorca have long been home to the big-name yachts, more superyachts are moving to Greek waters, or at least spending parts of the season there. “The yacht selection is just getting better and better,” says CJ Coetzee, yacht charter broker at MyGreekCharter. “We know the fleet here really well, and make sure to check out the new ones each year at shows – and every year we can confirm that the standard here, both for vessels and crew, is very high. This makes our job so much easier, knowing that we can offer up very good options to our clients.” Another edge: crew. MyGreekCharter’s team vets every yacht and every crew. In Greece, many crew stay with the same yacht for years, giving clients a better and more consistent experience. “We know who’s good,” says Coetzee. “That makes a difference when you're spending six figures on a week at sea.” MyGreekCharter’s current fleet includes some of the best crewed yachts for charter in Greece in 2026 , with growing options in the 30m+ and 50m+ range. From classic motor yachts to cutting-edge superyachts, demand is high, and availability is already tightening. For those looking to charter a superyacht in Greece next summer, early booking is key. With hundreds of islands and endless route options, Greece remains one of the most versatile charter destinations in the world. “You could come back every year for a decade and still see something new,” says William Mc Nally. MyGreekCharter is now booking its 2026 fleet, with a focus on custom itineraries across both the Aegean and Ionian. With strong demand, expanding inventory, and trusted crews, the company is positioning itself to lead the season as the top choice for luxury yacht charters in Greece.
