Get in on the airfare wars Down Under
You gotta love a little healthy competition. Airlines to Australia have been caught in a price war, and we're reaping the rewards. It all started with V Australia whose new flights to the US begin February 27th. Their sales have ended, but Qantas' sales are still around. But book quickly--their sale ends Monday, January 26th.
Get a Qantas ticket for $880 round-trip to Australia or New Zealand from LA or San Francisco--a fare that's easily $200 cheaper than normal. Fly to Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane anytime from February 1-September 21. Or fly to Auckland from February 24-September 21. That's largely their fall and winter, but you can catch good weather at the fringe in Sydney and Melbourne, and even longer up north in Brisbane. And it's perfect timing for a last-minute trip to Sydney's Mardi Gras, which is February 14-March 7.
And watch out for more sales from a new competitor in town: Delta. They'll be starting up non-stop LA-Sydney flights on July 1st. No sales are posted yet, but they'll probably pop up closer to the start date.
