Qantas are currently having a global and the special priced flights are only on sale to 30th of this month, they appear to have various dates you can fly on for the special prices.

See that for more info, thanks
Haha yeah that's what caught my eye too.
Although I can't say the same for Qantas's air fares.
They think $799 to Singapore return is a good deal? Have they even heard of Scoot before…
You can't compare a budget carrier (Scoot) with a full service carrier like Qantas…
You get all meals/drinks included in the price with Qantas, an IFE system, frequent flyer miles, and more flight options.
But still, with the $400 saving, I could buy much better food to take on the scoot flight with me. I don't think I could pay double just for 7h of better food/service.
Cheap out on airfare = more to spend at destination ;)
if you include frequent flyer allowances (lounge, baggage), all catering and the reliability of Qantas v Scoot, things aren't looking so favourable for the low cost carrier… but then the OH SHIT o'clock departure time on Scoot fron Changi makes Qantas a definite winner.
I've been on both and wouldn't bother with Scoot again (unless you like to hear a 'ding' every few minutes from someone accidentally pressing the call button with their thigh).
I flew back from sg to syd with flyscoot last august. yes the time was annoying but overall i found it better than Jetstar. Scoot seems fine for the shorter flights.
The only reason i wouldn't use them to fly to say, Japan is the stopovers.
Brisbane to Heathrow is pretty good I think, what do you ppl think
What's with the price spike 25-30 March ($3000) Some special event in London ?
Looks like a price hike for Easter…
Average price. Managed to book MEL to Heathrow return with Qantas for $1K per person in May
Why is this voted down? TeeJay is right - this is an average price!
$1k return AUS to LHR is not average pricing on QF… Heck you can't even get to LAX for $1k on QF let alone LHR. $1k is average VA/DL sale pricing to LAX which is significantly shorter than MEL/SYD-LHR.
MEL-LHR for $1k return is an EXTREMELY good price on ANY airline let alone QF.
How / Where? I can't see anything for less than $1700 for that journey..
Thanks so much for posting this up! Just booked our flights to LA from Sydney. 2 adults for $2400 total! :D Super happy!
Though my credit card got blocked (fraud protection) when trying to reserve our seats. So I'm hoping in the morning when I call my CC company and approve the transaction that I still get to keep the seats we selected. :)
I'm no expert, but doesn't Virgin Australia do that route for $100-$1100 sometimes?
They do, both Qantas and Virgin have similar pricing for this route when on sale.
You're most welcome Levinet, If you subscribe to their Red Mail that's how I came across this tonight :)
I do subscribe to it, but the red email for me came in 2 hours after this post. Must have been an issue with their newsletter mailout system — or they do staggered mailouts to prevent their email servers getting blacklisted.
Either way, thanks a lot for posting this up so quickly!
For once their sale fares do seem reasonable - still a little higher than the competition but if you want to fly Qantas then they're good prices.
Eg Syd-lax $1199, Syd-sing $799, Syd-Vancouver $1413
Not bad, I got my return flights to Vancouver for $1400 departing Jan returning late Feb in the sale October last year
how so? Their service is top notch, they codeshare with Emirites (Just as good). They use an A380 for many routes now. I am happy with them.
This sale is actually pretty decent, even the domestic fares (several $$'s cheaper) than the sales over the past month.
I booked my MEL ✈ SIN with this sale last night during the singapore GP weekend in September we fly out with qantas direct flight and return with emirates.
/sigh, I just booked Syd > Santiago last week for $450 more :/
Fyi, one baggage policy from Qantas is totally a letdown!
If you're travelling to North America it's 2.
Also this is no different to any North American airlines or AF or BA that now use the piece system as well.
It is a 23kg bag, which is still more than the 20kg allowed by most other airlines. You'll loose an extra 3kg~ out of that 20kg allowance if you add a second bag as well.
Still waiting for their 2 for 1 business class sale from Melbourne to Heathrow.
It's not a bad price for Eastern states but Singapore airlines are now doing a special to Singapore for Darwin and Perth at $506 and $598 respectively. And they're definitely a competitor to Qantas IMHO .
Just saw the caveat for Perth though. Maximum stay: 7 Days
This doesn't apply for Darwin. Which is odd not sure if its a typo.
