Score some $500 tickets to Australia with STA Travel

Jealous of all of those blokes who got in on the first round of tickets to Oz on V Australia? It's true, some of us snagged sub $500 fares to Australia late last year when The Pacific's newest airline started selling tickets, but it's not too late to cash in your chips.

The latest installment in STA Travel's "fast finger fares" give students one last chance to score that dream vacation down under. As a bonus, a welcome package with two nights of (dorm style) lodging, meals and extras is also included in the price. That's a steal. So how do you get in?

Twenty packages will available at exactly 12PM on Monday, the 9th of March. That's tomorrow.
You can only book the packages by going to your local STA travel or by calling (800) 360.9273, so you either need to get to your local office and sit on a travel agent or use four cellphones and call non stop starting at 11:58. Yes, you can wear your Kappa Kappa Gamma sweatpants to the STA office. No, they don't make your butt look big.

In the worst case scenario, if you miss out on the twenty best deals, STA still has Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne on sale from Los Angeles for about $650, which isn't a bad deal.

You can read more about the sale at STAtravel.com.
