If the end of year fatigue has finally hit you (don't worry, we're crawling to Christmas as well), then perhaps it’s time to use up some annual leave and book an impromptu trip. And if you act fast, you can nab an absolute steal of an airfare, because Qantas has just launched a surprise sale with discounts on more than one million seats across 60 domestic routes. Getaway Hamilton Island or Perth, anyone?
You’ve only got 72 hours to snap up seats, with the sale launching on November 12 and ending just before midnight on November 14. Flights are up for grabs for travel between December 24, 2024 and September 18, 2025 (yep, there's even some bargain airfares available during the school holidays), meaning you could sneak in a last-minute summer jaunt or start planning for something epic next year.
Melburnians can fly to destinations like the Gold Coast, Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Hobart, Sydney, Adelaide and many more for less than $200. If you’re keen to head further afield, you could even travel to Alice Springs, Kangaroo Island and Cairns for under $300. And if you've got cash to splash, how does a flight from Melbourne to Broome sound for $499? There's truly a flight to suit every budget.
On top of checked baggage, complimentary food and free Wi-Fi, passengers will also score complimentary alcoholic drinks on all domestic flights from midday onwards. You can jump on the sale here.
