[Expired] [Deal Alert] Qantas ‘Superjumbo Sale’ Discounts Flights From the U.S. to Australia and New Zealand

If you’ve been keen on visiting Australia or New Zealand, this could be the push you need to finally book your flights.

Australian carrier Qantas is celebrating the return of its superjumbo Airbus A380 to Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) by offering a sale on flights in all cabin classes between the U.S. and Australia and New Zealand, through which you could save serious cash on airfare.

However, you’ll need to act quickly, as the sale ends August 18, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. PDT, unless tickets are sold out prior to that time.

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

Qantas Superjumbo Sale

Booking flights Down Under is typically a pricey proposition, but the so-called “Superjumbo Sale” could help you keep some cash in your pocket as you book your airfare.

Qantas has launched a major sale on flights between the U.S. and Australia and New Zealand. Discounts apply to all cabin classes: economy, premium economy, business, and first.

Valid travel dates vary by cabin class and route:

• Economy: August 12 through December 9, 2025, and January 13 through July 13, 2026
• Premium economy: August 12 through December 9, 2025, and January 13 through July 13, 2026
• Business: August 12, 2025, through July 31, 2026
• First: August 12, 2025, through July 31, 2026

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 18, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
• Eligible travel dates vary, depending on the route and desired cabin class. See full details here.
• Eligible routes include Dallas-Ft. Worth (DFW), Los Angeles (LAX), New York (JFK), and San Francisco (SFO) to various Australian cities and Auckland, New Zealand (AKL).
• Blackout dates vary, depending on the route.

We searched for a few flights to check pricing. A search for an economy flight between Los Angeles and Sydney reflected the sale exactly as advertised.

When searching, the word “Sale” appears next to discounted fares. We found round-trip economy flights from the U.S. to Australia for under $1,000, which is a solid deal considering how pricey these long-haul routes typically are.

Remember, too, that premium cabins are on sale, though you can expect to pay far more for flights in premium economy, business, and first class than you will for economy.
