If the Euro summer Instagram influx is tempting you to remortgage your home in order to get your own taste of the Mediterranean life, think again. Etihad Airways – one of the world’s most well-renowned airlines – is slinging super-cheap return flights to Europe later this year, so you can stock up on Italian pasta just in time for the Aussie summer. Intrigued? Read on.
Thanks to Etihad’s flash sale, Aussies can score super-affordable flights across the Etihad network – with up to 30 per cent off flights out of Sydney and Melbourne to a bunch of epic destinations across Europe.

Between May 1 and September 30, 2025, Aussies can fly to Rome and back for as little as $1,541; Paris and back for as little as $1,687; or to Dublin and back for as little as $1,782. Craving an Aegean escape? Return flights to Santorini start at $1,777, and return flights to Istanbul start at $1,470. Other destinations on offer include Prague, Warsaw and Nice.
And though the prices are low, flying Etihad is anything but budget – the airline scored the awards for Best Customer Experience, Best Economy Class and Best First Class Lounge in the 2023 World Travel Awards, and if you’ve flown with them before, you’ll understand why. As airline food goes, dinners on board an Etihad flight are pretty damn delicious, and the team are beyond hospitable, so you won’t feel like you’re skimping. In fact, if you’re in for the full luxe experience, you can score a free night's hotel stay in Abu Dhabi if you book your flight directly with Etihad – you can learn more about Etihad's Abu Dhabi Stopover programme over here.
The sale launched today, and is live only until Friday, March 28 – so you’ll want to act fast. You can learn more and book your Euro summer getaway over here.
