Qantas is celebrating their 100 year anniversary so they are giving away flights between Australia and US from select cities for $100USD. First 100 customers each day of the promotion score a ticket so good luck 😉
Los Angeles/San Francisco to Australia $200 USD (~$295 AUD) Return @ Qantas Airways

Shame the destination for all of them is from the US. Only beneficial for those in the states.
We are actually not too sure about the last 2 days.
we’ll be releasing 100 airfares each day to Australia for $100
Australia is the destination for all of them.
ah rightio, still a good deal for anyone in the states
Doing the same from London - Sydney for £100
All designed to bring people to Australia, not for Australians to holiday outside
Domestic market is too much of a cash cow
Hi have you got a link for the London to Sydney one? I've got some family over there that could take advantage of it.
thank you :)
Flights are not Sydney to US so not really helpful for most people here.
How do you know most people here are from Sydney?
I have no desire go go to America but can you not book two one way tickets one of which is on a steep discount
When's the next flight with that knobhead Will i am onboard?
Careful, don't want to get yourself labelled a racist. #RacistKnobHeadLabeller……..yours truly Will.i
Well I'm in….close enough?
Would be helpful for those that might have families overseas that would like to visit
What kind of dates are we looking at?
Steady on, mate. Girl doesn't owe you anything because you bought her cheap airfare. ;-)
Tough to go past a Halaway…https://harvesttotable.com/popular_date_varietieshere_are/
P.S. good call…in the title would be great.
San Fran is a shithole.
Why do you say that?
All the homeless everywhere idk but it's less of a shithole than LA imo
The USA is the 1st world country i go to for a 3rd world experience.
Homeless, beggars, blowing up fish with dynamite…..
because it is literally a hole filled with shit on the streets everywhere.
Was in San Fran about 2 months ago. Can concur. Lots of homeless, unsafe at night, expensive as hell
Was there 3 years ago and same observation….
Was there 9 years ago and same observation….
“Sales” like this are so annoying. 10 seats per day, 100 seats in total, spread across multiple destinations… so basically those seats are a needle in a haystack to find, and you have no idea when they have already been claimed. It’s like they’ve taken a leaf out of Jetstar’s book with the dodgy sales which sold out in the first 5 minutes that they continue to advertise for days after the fact. I mean lovely if you get one, but it’s mostly just bait advertising. Oh and to make things better, their website is extremely slow and leaves you on a JavaScript loading icon for like a minute between searches… and wont let you browse days quickly in any way shape or form..
It's 100 a day for 4 days= 400, which is quite generous really.
Agree though it's more of a marketing stunt and not much chance of getting any.
By day, I meant date of travel, not total released. In which case, it’s essentially 10 seats per flight. But sure, fair it is indeed 400 total I suppose.
If I book a return from LA.. And miss the first flight due to a no show, will that cancel the return leg of the journey?
Yes
Do you have a link where it saids that? thanks
Could you sell the first leg to somebody in the states? Or does the person who bought the ticket have to fly
facepalm
Yes, with qantas and many other airlines.
But not all airlines. Not the point-to-point cheap carriers who essentially sell you two 1-way tickets.
I've read about this before and the answer is yes.
Make the flight from LA your return by flying with someone else beforehand. Still cheap.
This is retarded and of no use to us
It's of some use to US
I'm sure USBargain will be interested in this
Wow, how ridiculous. It's like throwing a birthday party inviting only your friends but not your family members! So much for "spirit of australia" aye?
Those who are based in Oz can't really take advantage of this, but maybe friends and family from the US can visit some of you?
If you buy full price tickets from Aus to the USA could you then use the $100 flights for the return leg?
Don't think you can do that- "when purchased as a round trip for selected city pairs and travel dates".
Yes, so buy a one way ticket to SF. Then buy the roundtrip for 295 AUD to AU. No-show for the return QF leg back to SF.
And hope they don't cancel your FF account.
Also aren't one way tickets expensive?
It's a nice idea, but the problem with this plan is that the one-way ticket to SFO (or LAX) is likely to be prohibitively expensive. At least my searching seems to suggest that it will be for all the dates I'm interested in.
I'm sure somebody on ozbargain will engineer a creative solution.
Too easy - buy a return trip 🅰️ with a large travel period, then book this trip 🅱️ in between.
AU ➡️ US on outbound flight 🛫 of booking 🅰️
US ➡️ AU on outbound flight 🛫 of booking 🅱️
AU ↩️ US on return flight 🛬 of booking 🅱️
US ↩️ AU on return flight 🛬 of booking 🅰️
What time does it let you buy?
2PM EST it opens.
is this AEST or the american one?
I was thinking about this too.
I think it's US time.
The airline site is the US one, prices are in $US and the time of ticket release is "2pm PST/5pm EST" - PST being Pacific Standard Time.
5pm EST is 9am AEST daylight savings the next day (however it's abbreviated).
My brother in the US tried but said the site basically froze up when deal time started. Is there any ways to increase your chances of scoring or not really?
Same here. My brother has been trying, but it only goes to errors. What a fail.
Yep, What a fail, They cannot keep up with the load of web traffic - Qantas AU website says -"We’re experiencing problems with flight search and working to get this fixed as soon as possible.",
When trying to book - it comes up as:"Internal Server Error - Read
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
