Need an excuse to get away? Qantas has announced a surprise 72-hour sale, offering discounts on over one million seats across more than 100 routes within Australia.

For travellers planning a local trip, Qantas is offering domestic economy sale fares to over 60 destinations, with prices starting at just $105 for one-way travel between May and December.

Among the discounted routes, more than 30 are available for under $150 one way. Some of these bargain routes include Launceston to Melbourne, Maroochydore to Sydney, and Brisbane to Hervey Bay.

The sale will run until 11:59pm (AEST) on 11 April 2024, or until seats are sold out, and are available on the Qantas website or via travel agents. Blackout periods apply.

Qantas’ sale fares come with benefits such as checked baggage, complimentary food and drinks, free wi-fi on domestic flights, and the option to select seats. 

This is the flying kangaroo’s 11th sale of the year, with over 2 million discounted seats already offered in 2024. The airline’s most recent sale, on more than 100,000 seats to New Zealand, is still running.

Yesterday, Qantas Frequent Flyer unveiled its “biggest-ever” change, a new reward seat type called Classic Plus. Currently available for international flights, these seats will be extended to domestic flights by the end of the year.
