Travel Tuesday: Samsonite, Etihad, Luxury Escapes, Myer
By price, Etihad wins this round with fares from Sydney from $1565 return. The best news is that you can fly in and out during the European summer at these prices, but the caveat is that you have to leave asap. Some travel dates we've found at this price are July 23 to August 17, 2025 and July 29 to August 24, 2025.
If you need more time to organise your trip, Qatar Airways' sale gets you to London and back from $1692 with travel dates ranging from November 5 to December 3, 2025.
Finally, if you're quick on the mark Trip.com is giving Aussies the chance to score $29 seats between Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. This offer starts at 2pm AEST on July 22 and is for a limited number of tickets based on a first-come first-served basis.
Whether you've just returned from Europe with a wonky wheel (let's face it, cobblestones and suitcase wheels never go hand-in-hand) or are overdue for a luggage upgrade, you won't be stuck for choice right now.
That's because practically every big brand has ditched the dollars on their bestsellers. Samsonite is leading the charge with 40 per cent off selected cases when you spend $299 or more. If you can't quite meet that price mark, you'll still score 30 per cent off when you spend $149 or more.
They've also got a few best sellers on clearance including the 81cm Oc2Lite in aqua for $249.50 and the 55cm City Rhythm in black for $164.50.
For a wide mix of brands, Myer has taken 40 per cent off their stock of Samsonite, American Tourister, Kadi, Delsey, Monsac and Antler pieces while Amazon Australia has up to 51 per cent off the Samsonite Hi Fi and the American Tourister Curio 2.
Time poor but keen to travel? Inspiring Vacations has thrown return international airfares into a slew of their most popular tours. What's more, it's stackable with their Tour Your Way sale deal, giving you even more bang for your buck. Take a private 15 day tour of Sri Lanka including flights from $4636 per person (after using code PRIVATE20 for an extra 20 per cent off) or spend 21 days on a small group tour of South America including flights for $11,495 per person.
If you love the idea of luxury for less, Luxury Escapes is for you. This week families can tuck into 49 per cent off RACV Royal Pines Resort stays with four nights accommodation, unlimited Dreamworld entry and daily breakfast setting you back just $1239 per room.
Those looking to dust off their passports can stay six nights at the InterContinental Bali Resort for $1899 per room or swing by Hotel Royal Hoi An - Gallery for five nights from $849 per room (up to 49 per cent off).

People line up from 4am for huge US food chain opening in Sydney
People were lining up since 4am in order to get their hands on an item from a cult US chain that has finally come to Sydney. Auntie Anne's, the world's largest hand-rolled soft pretzel franchise, made its debut Down Under with the opening of its first store at Westfield Parramatta on Saturday. Some Australians lined up from 4am — more than five hours before the store opened its doors — in order to get their hands on the pretzels. Lines filled the shopping centre's top floor as people waited hours in order to get their hands on Original, Cinnamon, Sweet Almond and Pepperoni flavoured pretzels. One social media user claimed that the line wrapped all the way around to the train station outside. Yu-Jin Lee, who along with his business partner Johann Wong, has worked with Auntie Anne's to bring it to Australia, told 'We are amazed at the turnout that's for sure. We had one customer who lined up from 4am and waited until 9.30am when we officially opened the store. 'We anticipated a good response, but the excitement people have shown for Auntie Anne's has certainly exceeded all our expectations! 'Our crew have been working around the clock baking up a storm and I think we will see the line up continue for quite some time.' More than 1000 pretzels were sold on opening day. Mr Lee said bringing Auntie Anne's to Australia has been a dream years in the making, saying one of his fondest childhood memories is going to the mall to grab an Auntie Anne's pretzel. 'Think Baker's Delight. It's still the pretzel flavour but as soft as a Baker's Delight roll,' he said. 'It's because you order it and you get it fresh, rather than it sitting there from the morning.' He also rated the cinnamon sticks and the almond sticks with cream cheese, saying the latter was probably his favourite. 'You also can't go wrong with the hot dog bites. There's too much to choose from,' he said. The popular chain, which sells an array of sweet and savoury pretzels, first opened its doors in Pennsylvania back in 1988 and now has more than 2000 locations around the world – with five new ones planned across Australia in the next 12 months. Aussie customers can expect the full Auntie Anne's experience, Mr Lee said, including signature pretzel varieties such as original, cinnamon sugar, sweet almond, and pepperoni cheese, along with sweet and savoury nugget bites with the dough mixed, hand-rolled and baked on site. It's just the latest American chain to open in Australia in recent months with Wendy's, Wingstop and In-N-Out either having pop-ups or opening its doors permanently. But as Auntie Anne's joins a long line of American fast-food restaurants opening in Australia, are Aussies going to become sick of the once hard-to-get food? Melbourne-based food blogger Nectro. 'It's really exciting to see US chains opening in Australia,' he told ahead of the store's opening. 'Many of us have heard the hype, or if they're lucky tried the items on holiday, but to be able to eat these well-known brand's on our own doorstep means it's now available to everyone. 'These brands are often names we've grown up watching in the movies, so it's a thrill to have the option to buy something we've never tried. The big test is really whether or not they stand the test of time.'

Why hundreds of women are lining up in Sydney
An event that dates back to World War II is still drawing a huge crowd, as shoppers compete to get designer items from Hermes and Burberry for 10 per cent of the retail price. The Peter Pan Op Shop event, which has been running for 85 years, kicked off on Thursday and will be held until July 27 in Sydney. Videos from the event show hundreds of people lining up, wrapping around the block, before doors even opened on Thursday. Inside, clips showed hundreds of women digging through racks hoping to score a designer item they could cherish forever. Items on the racks include a mint green Christian Dior suit, which typically retails for more than $3000, selling for just $300. There was a Burberry suit worth $2000 being sold for $300 and a Louis Vuitton dress, valued at $1800, selling for $320. A fashion show kicked off the event before doors officially opened on Thursday, and hundreds of people have come through so far — and the interest doesn't appear to be slowing down. The same goes for the event itself, which seems to get bigger every year since it started in 1941. It began during a time when clothes were rationed, and women would put on a fashion show to model clothes they were looking to offload. Vicki Barrack, 62, is a volunteer on the Peter Pan Op Shop Committee and began her experience with the event as a shopper at the age of 28. 'I owned my own modelling agency at the time and I was just starting out and wanted to look fabulous but didn't have the money so I went to the op shops,' she told 'I'm an ex-model, so when I went to the op shops people used to follow us around asking, 'can we have what you don't want because you have such a good eye'. So we would help other people shopping and give recommendations on what they should try and buy.' Ms Barrack was then approached to be on the committee and helped set up the day. She said one of her favourite things about the event was the timeless treasures that could be found — and revealed she still has items she purchased from the first event she went to. Ms Barrack believes the event draws such a huge crowd every year because of the endless unknown possibilities. She said the committee was looking for younger volunteers to join, to keep the event going and bring fresh ideas, especially when it comes to social media. 'As our committee ages we need to keep reinvigorating and getting young people equally as excited about fashion and sustainable,' Ms Barrack said. 'If you have any kind of a love or interest in fashion, come to one of these and see what's available. 'Learn from different generations of other fashion lovers – you'll learn a lot. There are labels you may not have even heard of and they can explain the history of these garments and where they came from. 'There was a hat that came in yesterday that was from the queen's milliner — there's history people can learn.' Peter Pan Op Shop is run by Barnardos Australia, an organisation designed to help end child abuse and neglect by supporting families to keep children safe and at home. All the money raised is donating to their causes, such as Beyond Barbed Wire. Ms Barrack said when she first started on the committee, she remembered asking what was done with the money. 'She explained Beyond Barbed Wire to me, and I said 'Shouldn't we be taking clothes out to the women in the prisons and help them put outfits together so when they leave jail they have clothes to wear?'' Ms Barrack recalled. 'I organised for the committee to take clothes and we got names and sizing and a description of the women and we put together outfits for the women. That made everyone a lot more in touch with what we were doing — it helped the kids in the system with Bernardo's.'
