Hey all,
I'm traveling with a friend straight after Christmas from Brisbane to Cairns. Has anyone see any good specials on flights with travel dates for that soon after christmas? So far not returning anything..

Maybe OP intends to stay blotto for a few days after the festivities.
But FWIW, I travelled on Christmas Day last year and there were plenty of passengers. Probably people who couldn't leave until the last moment. So I wouldn't count on specials. But s/he may be pleasantly surprised.

Excluding Christmas Day the soft spot for a One Way Economy Flight seems to be $120 on Thur 29/12. Tigerair Australia TT486
Have you considered hiring a camper. http://www.imoova.com/imoova/relocations
Theres usually always vehicles available for a dollar a day that need moving from Brisbane to Cairns.
Best if your dates are not firm just in case there is no vehicle available and you end up having to get a late booked flight.
From my hazy memory you don't really see major discounts for that time of year as you get closer to the date. Conversely, my main observation has been that you might be "pleasantly surprised" that the prices haven't shifted much due to unexpectedly low demand (e.g. flights that are airborne after 11pm on NYE) but I wouldn't expect sub-$60 flights popping up for that specific period (though I could be wrong - Tiger has surprised me before). The current difference you have to pay for December 29 vs a cheap day in October is $44 ($119 vs $75). You might not have to book today but it may be risky booking mid-December.
Xmas is the 25th, so the 29th isn't straight after Xmas… ;)
