Australia’s flag carrier kicked off a mammoth international sale late on 3 February, discounting more than 60 routes across 30 destinations. One-way economy fares start at A$299 from Sydney to Auckland or Wellington, while return flights to Singapore drop to A$769—timed to coincide with Lunar New Year festivities. Long-haul highlights include Melbourne/Sydney–New York returns from A$1,399 and Perth–Paris returns from A$1,549 during Europe’s summer peak.
The promotion runs 4–11 February for travel between 23 February and 31 December 2026, aligning seats with major global events such as Coachella, the FIFA World Cup qualifiers and America’s 250th anniversary. Checked bags and meals are included; flexible-date changes remain subject to fare rules.

For corporate-travel budgets the sale presents rare sub-A$1,000 US fares and discounted premium-economy seats to the West Coast (from A$3,299). Travel managers may want to bulk-buy credit or issue advance purchase mandates to capture savings before the Australian dollar’s strength wanes.
The sale also introduces a new Gold Coast–Auckland route (from A$309), expanding options for meetings on the tourism-heavy strip. Qantas is using the promotion to stimulate demand ahead of capacity increases tied to its incoming A350 and A321XLR deliveries.
