Summer is officially over, and with Daylight Savings ending soon, the Euro summer Instagram influx is looming. Keen to get a taste of Mediterranean life this Euro summer? 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.
Thanks to Etihad’s flash sale, Sydneysiders can score super-affordable flights across the Etihad network – with reduced flights to European hotspots including Paris, Prague, Rome and Santorini.
The reduced rates are available from now until Friday, March 28, and apply for travel between Thursday, May 1 and Tuesday, September 30 2025. If you’re ready for a Parisian summer, you can score return flights from Sydney to the French capital for $1,711. Craving an Aegean escape? Return flights from Sydney to Santorini start at $1,914, and return flights to Mykonos start at $1,965. Other reduced-price flight routes include Sydney to Warsaw, Sydney to Prague and Sydney to Rome.

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 for just a few days until Friday, March 28 – so you’ll want to act fast. You can learn more and book your Euro summer escape over here.
