Cheapest I've seen for a return flight from Sydney to Hong Kong for some time. Just paid $798 return on their previous Asia sale a few weeks ago so this looks really cheap.
Other sale fares include:
Singapore $808
Manila $868
Ho Chi Minh City $995
Tokyo (Narita) $1198
Travel dates from 11 Feb 14 to 30 Jun 14 for Hong Kong, other destinations may vary.
Then utterly outrageous per kg charges after that. $105 per 5kg in prepaid allotments. $30 per kg at the airport.
no different from any other airline for "overweight" baggage.
Just FYI I've been looking for flights this morning from MEL-MNL on book.qantas.com.au and I've found fares in the SEPTEMBER HOLIDAYS as low as $403 one-way. (Try 3rd Oct 2013) - seek an ye shall find!
Edit - just realised that the deal is for RETURN flights! My bad!
Such a scum, I did a search on ticket on 11/7 and it was $300 cheaper than what's on sale now~
I can't tell you're trolling or just a native troll.
Just bought tickets (Qantas) to Hong Kong for the Sept school holidays for $770 return per adult. Direct flights.
cheap!
No I've just checked, still around $850, where did you get $770 returned?
I found the cheapest price available from the ITA Matrix site,(from memory about $830) printed a copy of the itinerary, took it to my travel agent and they managed to get me a better price. So it may be worth your while asking a travel agent to check out your web deals!
" Price includes taxes, fees and carrier charges except local airport taxes collected at time of check-in"
What does it mean?
We have to pay another ~$300 on top of that?
In some countries the airport tax is collected directly at the airport. (Philippines, Indonesia etc. )
is that a normal statement for an airline to make?
Yes. But these days it's rare to find you need to pay airport taxes locally.
But if you're flying MEL<->HKG, there's no need to worry about that line item.
Shame Perth is more expensive which doesn't make sense… I mean double the price!
I believe QF no longer does PER-HKG direct anymore. That route now goes through SIN. Even worse, the SIN-HKG is code share on CX. Hence why it's so expensive. It's a shame because now CX are the only ones with a PER-HKG direct service and so there's no competition!
What a complete ripoff…
Just goto expedia.com.br and buy from there…
I am writing this from Manila right now - I flew in last week. Qantas "Asia Sale" was $899 return.
I flew the same planes and paid $620 return…
That $279 can get you almost a week of decent accommodation here…
You're probably right about Manila but the deal was mainly for Hong Kong, the other countries were supplied just as a reference.
Singapore has been as low as $699 I think so not the best deal for that either, however they HK deal is the best I've seen for quite some time.
i think really you should + this deal :)
when qantas have sales then the price on expedia br drops as well, so you do actually benefit from these sales.
I'm not sure if prices on expedia br are still cheaper anymore.. took a look to try and book some flights which were cheaper but as of last week all the prices have gone back up…
maybe expedia br/qantas has fixed the lower pricing they are getting from expedia br?
I flew into Manila on 18 July 2013 using fares purchased on Expedia.com.br on 14 July.
The savings were well over 30% on the Qantas "specials" at that time…
The price I paid is still more than $240 less than these latest "specials"
Agree though that expedia.com.br isn't so good for HK flights - still great for Manila and Bangkok…
I recommend you to do your research before making your "ripoff" comment.
$768 SYD-HKG is the lowest I've ever seen for the last 20 years, not to mention 30kg luggage, A380 aircraft on selected days of the week…
Well I'm traveling solo and i booked through flight center.
$763 and they give you $250 credit to put towards hotel or tour.
So direct air flight with Qantas return only really costs $513

Have anyone purchase from booking.qantas? Can you choose your own seat?
On the last Qantas Asia sales, I purchase through expedia.com.br and I was not able to choose my own seat?
Have choose your own seat become an extra additional fee on Qantas? Or its because I made my purchase through Expedia?
Booking through expeida.com.br is generally always cheaper then to book through booking.qantas
It costs money to choose your seat on international flights if you don't have status with Qantas' frequent flyer program.
Hi,
I was loking to purchase flights to Las Angeles in May 2014 and was wondering if there are any ways of getting cheaper deals? I have tried expedia brazil but doesn't seem to make much of a difference in price.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Why are you 'loking' for cheap 'Las Angeles' fares on a Qantas Asia sale post?
..
Hint: Fush and Chups.
LOL…
Someone help me buy flights to Los Santos and San Fierro…

To Anyone ever bought ticket via expedia.com.br, if you buy a ticket from expedia.com.br, does it give you confirmation number for Qantas flight ticket which you can check your flight details/online check in on Qantas HP?
Not sure what qantas HP is but I put Qantas ff details into my booking on expedia br and logged into my qantas ff account soon thereafter and my booking was in there!
