Qantas' huge international flight sale has return North America flights from $999
This week, Qantas has kicked off a seven-day sale in partnership with American Airlines, offering discounted return fares to six of the most popular cities in North America.
Jetstar's also come to the party with some seriously tempting one-way fares to Japan that start at prices cheaper than a night out in Sydney.
Here's what's on offer — and why now's a pretty savvy time to hit 'book'.
Qantas North America sale — fly return from $999
There are hundreds of thousands of discounted seats on offer, and you've got until Tuesday May 27 to make your move — or until they sell out.
Travel dates start from August 2025 and run through to March 2026, which gives you plenty of wiggle room for that white Christmas in Canada or sunny Californian adventure.
'We know our customers really look forward to our international sales and over the last few weeks we've launched sales across Asia and the Pacific Islands as well as to Johannesburg and London,' Qantas CEO International Cam Wallace said.
'Our US sale in March this year had a fantastic response and we're pleased to be offering customers more discounted seats to destinations across the United States and Canada, in partnership with American Airlines.'
