We love a surprise flight sale, and Qantas’ latest frenzy is one worth getting excited about. Launching today (February 3), it’s one of the Flying Kangaroo’s biggest global sales of the year, with more than 500,000 discounted seats to 30-plus popular international destinations. Europe? North and South America? Asia? New Zealand? If it’s on your travel wish list, chances are it’s on sale.

This mega sale comes off the back of new Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data revealing Aussies took more than 12.5 million overseas trips in the 12 months ending November 2025. That’s an almost nine per cent jump on the year before, proving our appetite for exploring the world beyond our shores isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

The Qantas sale kicks off today (February 3) and runs for just one week, ending at 11.59pm (AEDT) on Monday, February 9. You don’t even have to wait long to set off, with travel dates ranging from February 4 (legit tomorrow!) to December 11, 2026.

So, where can you go? The 500,000-seat global sale covers more than 60 routes, with reduced fares to more than 30 international destinations across Europe, North and South America, Asia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the Pacific.

Economy one-way fares start from just $299 from Sydney to Auckland and Wellington, with Qantas’ newest international route from the Gold Coast to Auckland – launching in June – also included from $309.

Other tempting deals include return flights from Brisbane to Singapore from $709, Melbourne to Bali from $659, Sydney to Honolulu from $898, Adelaide to Hong Kong from $879, and Perth to Kuala Lumpur from $525. Even better, all Qantas fares come with checked baggage and complimentary food and drinks.
