[Deal Alert] Qantas International Sale Is On — Here’s How You Can Save

If you’ve been eyeing Australia or New Zealand as your next adventure, this could be the push you need to finally book your flights. Australian carrier Qantas just announced its latest promotion, through which you could save hundreds on airfare.

Act quickly, as the sale ends August 4, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. PT, unless tickets are sold out prior to this time.

Here’s everything else you need to know about this sale.

Qantas International Sale Promotion

Booking flights Down Under is typically a pricey proposition, but this sale could really help you keep some cash in your pocket as you book your airfare.

Qantas has launched a major international sale, discounting 350,000 seats across more than 30 routes around the world. The sale includes destinations in Asia, the Americas, the United Kingdom, Africa, and the Pacific, with popular cities in the U.S., such as Los Angeles and Dallas, discounted.

The sale applies to a wide range of travel dates between July 2025 and May 2026. Notably, it includes periods that overlap with Australia’s school holidays, including the summer, Easter, and September/October breaks.

Unlike previous promotions, no promo code is needed — discounts are automatically applied when booking. As with all Qantas fares, these sale tickets include checked baggage and complimentary meals and beverages.

Here are the details:

• Must book travel at qantas.com by August 4, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. PT, but quantities are limited and could sell out before the promotion’s end date.
• 350,000 seats across more than 30 routes around the world are discounted.
• Savings are valid on flights from July 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026.
• Eligible routes include Dallas-Ft. Worth (DFW) and Los Angeles (LAX) to Australia.
• Blackout dates vary, depending on the route.

I went through the motions of searching for flights between Los Angeles (LAX) and Sydney (SYD) to see how this discount works — and it worked exactly as advertised.

When searching, you’ll see the word “Sale” displayed next to discounted fares. I spotted round-trip flights from the U.S. to Australia for just under $1,100, which is a solid deal considering how pricey these long-haul routes typically are.

Only Qantas-marketed flights are eligible for this promotion, and economy, premium economy, and business class cabins are part of this sale.
