If you've been dreaming of swapping your weekly work/ gym/ pub routine for Balinese beach clubs, Tokyo ramen bars or a Parisian café terrace, now might be the time to lock it in. 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 heap of cut-price flights heading out of Sydney.
The Qantas Red Tail 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, meaning you could already be planning a spring escape to Asia, a winter sun holiday or even an early European summer adventure for next year.
For Sydneysiders chasing a quick overseas escape, one-way economy fares to Auckland start from just $359. If tropical island life is calling, return fares to Port Vila in Vanuatu start from $549, while return flights to Nouméa – one of Australia's fastest-rising island holiday destinations – are available from $588.
The biggest headline, though, is the chance to snap up discounted seats on Qantas' brand-new non-stop Sydney to Las Vegas service for the very first time. Return economy fares start from $1,199 on the direct route, which launches on December 29, 2026. Qantas will become the first airline in the world to operate the seasonal non-stop service, cutting around five hours off the journey compared with current one-stop itineraries.
The sale also includes discounted fares from Sydney to some of the world's most popular holiday destinations, including Bali, Tokyo, Singapore, Honolulu, Los Angeles, New York and London.
If you've been waiting for an excuse to finally book that overseas trip, this could be it – just don't wait too long. With 400,000 sale fares available across the network, the best deals are unlikely to stick around until the August 4 deadline.
