When are these cheap flights available?

Generally, February to November, but exact availability depends on the route.

School holidays and major public holidays generally aren’t available at the sale prices (nor are flights the week before/after).

What we love though about the travel dates is…

  • New Zealand flights are available during peak ski season in July and August
  • You can escape the Australian winter and travel to places like New Caledonia and Fiji from June to September (excluding school holidays)
  • USA flights are available during the peak summer season in the northern hemisphere

What’s included in the price?

Qantas is a full-service airline, so you’ll get checked baggage, meals and drinks during your flight and in-flight entertainment. If you’re a Qantas Frequent Flyer member, you’ll also be able to choose your seat for free.

Can I get any frequent flyer points when I buy a Qantas sale fare?

Of course you can! If you’re a Qantas Frequent Flyer member, you can earn points on all Qantas flights, whether they’re on sale or not.

Overall, how good is this sale?

Great! Qantas does tend to be more expensive than Jetstar or Virgin because it does come with plenty of perks like checked baggage, so we wouldn’t be comparing apples to apples if we put them side by side.

But, compared to other Qantas fares, we believe these are worth booking. Considering that there are more than 80 international routes included for less than $1,000, there’s also a great variety to choose from.

How to book these Qantas sale flights

Head over to the Qantas site, or compare prices on a comparison site like Kayak. Prices may be cheaper if you don’t book directly. For example, we found the Sydney-Auckland flights listed at $329 on the Qantas site, but through Kayak they’re going for just $522.
