In a perfect world, we'd all be able to jet off on a plane to a far-off idyllic destination, whenever our hearts desired a relaxing getaway. But the reality is, it ain't cheap. While there have been reports that the prices of overseas flights are starting to drop, most people have been sadly forced to cut out luxuries like holidays. But if you were just about to throw away all hopes of a European summer trip this year – you're in luck. Etihad Airways are swooping in to save our sunny dreams, with a flash sale on airfares to a swag of European cities. How good!

The airline is currently slinging its Euro summer deals for May, with discounted return flights on routes to 12 different cities, departing between June 1 and September 30, 2024. It's time to dig out your bathers and start practicing your Spanish, because this is a deal worth jumping on. But you'd better be pretty quick, because the sale is only running until May 16. 

Melburnians can jet off for an overseas vacation with a return airfare for less than $2,000, with economy flights to Athens from just $1,722 or to Santorini for $1,970. If you're craving pasta over souvlaki, a return flight to Rome is from $1,991, or to Milan from just $1,881. This is not a drill! 

Other cheap overseas airfares from Melbourne on offer include return flights to Antalya in Turkey from $1,997, to Madrid in Spain from $2,006, or to Zurich in Germany from $1,881 – plus more. If you're feeling bougie, there are discounted airfares on business class return flights too, so you can fly in style from $6,018. 

To bag yourself an affordable flight and lock in that Euro summer holiday you've been daydreaming about, head to the Etihad website
