cheap airfares

Some good pricing on Etihad to London, for various travel dates such as November 2023.

Not sure if we already have a thread for Virgin Australia sale fares, but the current Flight Frenzy seems pretty good. Book by Friday 25 August, travel between 11 October 2023 and 20 June 2024 (exact dates vary by route). https://specials.virginaustralia.com/au/sale/click-frenzy-sale Some good...

Japan Airlines has some very decent Premium Economy fares from Sydney to destinations in Europe including Helsinki, Paris, Frankfurt and London. You can also connect from other Australian cities for not much more money. The domestic connections book into Qantas Economy. An overnight transit is...

This won't be for everyone, but China Eastern has some cheap Y fares from Sydney and Melbourne to various European destinations via PVG. Here are a few examples: Also to AMS:

I spotted this deal on a German blog, and it also comes up on a Google Flights search. Works for various dates. The main catch is that it appears you can only book it through certain OTAs, and not directly on the Etihad website. This could come with its own downsides. YMMV. The flights are...

I’m about to fly on Uzbekistan Airways from SKD to TAS. It’s a 55-minute domestic flight. The business class fare was USD50.20, which is around AUD73 at the current exchange rate (it was slightly less when I booked). That’s not the co-payment on an award booking or the cost to upgrade from...

TL;DR: LAX-PPT-NOU in J on TN and SB on the 787 and A330neo with NOU-SYD in Y on QF for $3.2k one way. So I've managed to get myself an award flight from SYD-SFO on Boxing Day for a cruise leaving Fort Lauderdale on 27 December. The issue with award travel is that it's one way, so I am left...

Nice fare if anyone needs to get from DXB to LHR in the coming months. The cost for Finnair lie-flat J is probably less than the carrier charges alone on an EK J reward seat 😂 Also would earn 120 QF status credits (or a higher number of tier points if crediting to BA).

Etihad is currently running a sale out of Amsterdam. Book by 16 September 2022, travel by 22 June 2023. https://www.etihad.com/en-nl/book/special-offers?intcid=viewalldealsintcid SYD/MEL aren't specifically included on the page linked above, but sale fares are available for around €2,520 or...

Interesting fare on Asiana via ICN, with the ICN-SYD sector on an A380. You would need to start & end in Germany to get this price. There is an overnight layover required in ICN on the way back to Frankfurt due to the way the schedules line up. However, you could make it a longer stopover in...

LATAM has some excellent business class sale fares to South America for travel later in the year. E.g. SYD-SCL in July/August is available from ~USD2,088 return which works out to be AUD2,911. I have no idea whether these flights will actually run. Currently, LATAM is scheduling the...

I realise it's Scoot, but if anyone is looking for a cheap ticket to Europe, there are some very good deals on Scoot via Singapore at the moment from Sydney, Melbourne & Gold Coast. Some connections require a very long layover, but there are itineraries with short connections as well...

SQ has released a promo code which gives a 10% discount to KrisFlyer members off flights in Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class from Australia to destinations across the Singapore Airlines network. The promo code is KFAU10DEC21 and this expires on 25 December 2021. Travel dates must be...

Jetstar has released a bunch of sale fares on international routes, which it says is the first sale on international flights it has run in nearly 2 years. Sale running 26-30 October 2021. Jetstar International Sale If someone could explain to me why the sale fares from Melbourne to Singapore...

According to a Qantas Red Email I received yesterday:

Qantas is selling return tickets for 2 people from SYD, MEL or BNE to PER for $598 (i.e. just under $150 per flight). Must book by 21 May and travel between 12 July to 12 December 2021 (blackout dates 17 September - 5 October). https://www.qantas.com/au/en/offer/2021/take-a-mate-to-wa.html...

Qantas has launched its first proper sale to New Zealand since the travel bubble started, with prices now approaching normal pre-covid levels. Both Economy and Business fares are on sale. Some examples in Economy: OOL-AKL $199 one-way MEL/BNE/SYD-CHC $249 one-way CNS-AKL $249 one-way...

VA has matched Rex's $39 sale fares on the SYD-MEL route. Fares include checked baggage. Available for various travel dates until 28 August 2021.

I know this has already been discussed in the trans-Tamsan bubble thread, but this offer is good enough that I thought it would be worth starting a separate thread. As we all know, trans-Tasman fares (especially business class) are generally very expensive at the moment. But Qantas' new AKL-OOL...
