If the cold snap in Melbourne has got you dreaming of an escape to a warmer oasis, then perhaps it’s time to pack your bags and book an impromptu trip. If you can act fast, you can nab an absolute steal of an airfare, as Qantas has just launched a surprise sale with discounts on more than one million seats across 100 domestic routes. How about a trip to Kangaroo Island or Byron Bay, anyone?
This sale comes hot on the heels of Qantas’ new Classic Plus rewards seats expansion, which will see the airline release more than 20 million more Frequent Flyer seats each year on international flights. However, you only have 72 hours to snap up seats in the domestic sale, as it wraps up just before midnight on April 11.
While saving up your annual leave and dosh for next year’s Euro summer, you can book a (half-the-price) domestic getaway for as little as $105 one-way (for travel from May to December 2024). There are more than 60 locations to choose from, with 15 routes on sale for under $200.
Melburnians can fly to destinations like the Gold Coast, Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Hobart, Launceston, Adelaide and many more for less than $200. If you’re keen to head further afield, you could even travel to Alice Springs, Cairns, Broome and more for between $300 and $500.
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.
