Just when you thought summer was over, Qantas is bringing the sunshine back into our lives with a massive sale on flights to some of Australia’s favourite tropical destinations. Honolulu? Tick! Fiji? Yep! Vanuatu? You bet – and return flights are going for less than $500!

You’ve got only one week to snap up these super discounted fares, with the sale launching today (April 29) and ending on May 5 (unless sold out prior). There’s a huge range of travel dates from May 2025 to March 2026 – so if you’ve already burned through this year’s annual leave, here’s your chance to lock in an early 2026 escape.
