February 4, 2026
Qantas is launching a major sale with more than 500,000 international seats across 60-plus routes spanning Europe, the UK, Asia, New Zealand, the Pacific, and the Americas.
The sale features fares starting at 299 and runs for one week, covering hundreds of flights with at least 30 international destinations highlighted.
Sample fares include Paris economy return from 1,549 AUD, Paris premium economy return from 3,849 AUD, and Paris business class return from 8,799 AUD.
Sale travel is valid from February 4 to December 11, 2026, with some blackout dates.

The broader context notes more than 12.5 million Australians took an overseas holiday in 2024–25, up about 9% year-on-year, helped by a stronger Australian dollar and sale fares.
Additional Paris travel dates are available through July, August, and September 2026.
The Gold Coast–Auckland route launches discounted seats with one-way economy from 309 AUD, with inaugural service on June 16.
Perth–Paris economy return fares start at 1,549 AUD for July–September, offering Western Australia travelers summer options.
