Thy Jetstar Gets All Medieval for Thy’s 21st Birthday, via Ye’ Ol Thinkerbell
To mark its 21st birthday, Jetstar hath summoned forth a most noble celebration, one steeped in medieval tradition and bold Aussie spirit. For in the days of yore, turning 21 signified readiness for knighthood.
Enter Knights of the Skies, a modern day quest where Jetstar anointed a selection of steadfast travellers.
The festivities culminated in a grand Live Action Role Play (LARP) event, where hundreds of sword-swinging, chainmail-clad, cardboard-helmet-donning wannabe warriors gathered. Their noble aim? Embark on a raucous, real-life quest and unearth who would be dubbed Jetstar’s true Knights of the Skies in order to win $50,000 worth of flights for the airline’s 21st birthday.
Anna Craven, Head Earned Thinker at Thinkerbell, didst declare: “Knights of the Skies is but the latest scroll in a long tale of curious-shaped activations we’ve dreamt up for Jetstar’s loyal and ever-growing fanbase. It’s a testament to how far Jetstar’s most devoted fans will go for their beloved airline.”
