For those who can stomach 26hrs of flying..

Bargain fares to the east coast of the USA. Planes are A380 & 747. It is seriously hard to get this far away from Australia for any less with Qantas.

Available from the east coast of Aus, fare periods are periodic for all of 2015 all the way up until Jan 2016.

Lots of sale tickets available from what I could see.

Travel periods from Sydney/Melb:

08 Jul 2015 to 04 Sep 2015 $1349 (Ends 28 Feb 15)
06 Oct 2015 to 30 Nov 2015 $1349 (Ends 28 Feb 15)
07 Jul 2015 to 07 Jul 2015 $1349
01 Dec 2015 to 10 Dec 2015 $1349
17 Jan 2016 to 08 Feb 2016 $1349

      invalidwithoutphoto Emirates and Etihad treats Indians, Pakistanis, Filipinos and other populations within that region much worst than Qantas.

      I know people in Qantas and they're treated well, better conditions and maybe pay compared to Virgin.

      never even considered it after they sacked all the maintenance engineers.

      So who maintains the aircraft now??

      • [Deactivated] on 22/02/2015 - 23:18

        Malaysia, I think. Definitely majority of maintenance is off-shore.

        • JPB928 on 23/02/2015 - 06:31

          QANTAS maintains all its domestic fleet in Australia. But if people like you fly other overseas carriers. That may end too. I bet you drive an imported car too. No wonder our county is loosing all manufacturing.

        • zelda707 on 23/02/2015 - 07:18

          The majority of maintance is done here, only A380s and 747s are done overseas

    • Trance N Dance on 23/02/2015 - 21:53

      You have to be kidding me right? QF staff are one of the highest paid in the industry and their EBA benefits are ridiculously beneficial in their favour.
      QF didn't sack all the maintenance engineers… they consolidated them in Brisbane where all their 737 and A330 maintenance are done.

      Line maintenance for the A380 is done in SYD and LAX with the major stuff for the A380 done by Lufthansa Technik in Manila. The 747s were maintained in AVV for heavy checks and SYD in addition to AVV did line maintenance before QF retired almost half of their 747s. The only reason the A380 and now the 747s are maintained offshore is because it would simply be financially stupid to do so when there are so little aircraft.

        I love English people who point the finger at Australian's historical 'human rights record'

        You would do well to remember that we were a British colony when the worst of these atrocities occurred, so maybe some introspection is in order.

        unless of course you're referring to our more recent human rights record, which is our own shame to bear

      Please, dont start about QFF. You have to spend $12,000 on travel to get a $59 mel-syd free flight. A joke. I was a member for over 10 years, but no more.

        Uhhhh no you don't. This New York flight will give you at least 11k QFF points which is enough for mel-Syd flight or u can sell the points on Gumtree for about $120

      You do realise most of Qantas's workers are based in Australia. The workers are heavily unionised though, but it means they get paid pretty good. Qantas posted a $2.8 billion lost last year so they're not exactly in the position to 'treat' their workers better

    Are the eggs they serve on the plane caged or free range?

    • LoungeLizard on 23/02/2015 - 08:37
      +15

      They are free range. They have they chooks flying on long leashes behind the plane, with baskets strapped to their arses. They reel them in just before brekky to collect the eggs. True story.

        didn't know eggs come from chook arses - learn new thing every day. BTW if they are on leashes, they can't be free-range.

    The US is becoming a less popular destination with the exchange rate collapse over the past 6 months or so so expect to see a lot more sales like these this year.

    • Gorodemon on 23/02/2015 - 16:01

      That's true - so when I go to Applebees and order from their 2 for $20 special menu (TWO ENTRÉES + ONE APPETIZER):

      http://www.applebees.com/menu/2%20for%2020

      I'd be looking at paying:

      US$ 20 + sales tax(+/- 8%) + 15% tips = US$ 24.60 which equates to AU$ 31.41

      That's pretty expensive for a 7-oz house sirloin and 2 entrees.

    • travelwiz on 23/02/2015 - 16:12
      -3

      some things are so cheap in USA like skiing, that exchange rate really doesn't come into it.

      Sales are due to Feb being traditionally quiet, (people paying off Xmas) & confidence being low.

      You won't see sales below $1700 to LAX fo departures from 16DEC til 10JAN.

      • lgacb08 on 23/02/2015 - 18:54

        when talking about cheap skiing, one rather go to NZ. Anyone who spend $2000+ on a crammed plane with 20+ hours of jet lag just to get the cheap skiing must have too much money to spend and doesn't even need to know about the word 'ozbargain'.

        • travelwiz on 23/02/2015 - 20:02
          -2

          there's no comparison between NZ & USA. USA on snow accom + skiing is 10 times better.

          LA is 13 hours, but most families go for 3 + weeks & skiing for only week or 2 of that.

          Colorado is 2 hours further.

        • lgacb08 on 23/02/2015 - 20:05

          @travelwiz: nah, you're just bluffing yourself, only those who want to get last minute Xmas holiday are stupid enough to believe in your marketing hypes.

        • travelwiz on 23/02/2015 - 20:47

          @lgacb08: we don't do last minute.

          We can't get enough cheap seats for Xmas. We'll be sold out months before Xmas.
