“Several booking windows overlap with iconic Australian experiences, making this sale the perfect opportunity for Americans to turn their dreams of a trip Down Under into a reality.”

For example, sale rates are available from Los Angeles or Dallas to Melbourne to see the Australian Open in early 2026 (which runs from January 12 to February 1, 2026).

They’re also available from Los Angeles to Sydney during the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival (February 13 to March 1, 2026). You can also catch top concerts like Renee Rapp, Lorde, Bad Bunny, G Flip, and Linkin Park throughout winter and spring 2026.

Final Thoughts

Australia and New Zealand are among the farthest destinations in the world from the U.S., which often means airfare is expensive. However, this Qantas sale brings down the cost of flights, meaning you can travel halfway across the world more affordably — even under $900 round-trip in some cases. But snap up these flights quickly, as these sale rates likely won’t last long.
