Dreaming of swapping Melbourne's laneways for Tokyo’s cool backstreets or the boroughs of New York City? Now might be the time to make that fantasy a reality. Qantas has just launched a huge international sale with more than 400,000 discounted fares to over 30 destinations across its global network – including a solid selection of bargains departing from Melbourne.
The sale is live now and runs until 11.59pm AEST on Tuesday, August 4 (unless fares sell out sooner). Travel dates span from August 2026 through to June 2027, making it the perfect excuse to book an overseas adventure – whether you're chasing a pre-summer re-set in Asia, a tropical island escape or you’re planning ahead for Euro summer 2027.
For Melburnians after a quick international getaway, one-way economy fares to Auckland start from just $358. If you'd rather spend your days island-hopping, return fares to Port Vila in Vanuatu start from $649, while return flights to Nouméa – Australia's fastest-rising island holiday destination – are available from $799.
The sale also includes discounted fares from Melbourne to some of the world's most sought-after destinations, including Bali, Tokyo, Singapore, Honolulu, Los Angeles, New York and London, with savings available across economy and selected premium cabins on eligible routes.
If an overseas escape has been sitting on your vision board, now's the time to make it happen. With 400,000 discounted fares available across Qantas' international network, the best deals are expected to disappear well before the August 4 deadline.
