Qantas fare sale and Australia/New Zealand itineraries.
A few years ago, we traveled throughout New Zealand and Australia in April, and the weather was gorgeous. It’s a lovely time to visit the wineries in New Zealand, and still warm enough to enjoy the Great Barrier Reef.
Right now, Qantas is offering fares from Los Angeles or San Francisco to Sydney, Brisbane, or Melbourne starting at $760 for travel between February 1st and September 21st 2009. But you have to act fast. This fare sale ends January 31st. For more information, visit www.qantas.com
The American dollar is strong against both the Australian and New Zealand dollars, so you still get a lot for your money down under. If you’re interested in traveling to New Zealand or Tanzania, there are inexpensive connecting flights to both destinations.
Want to tour the Sydney Opera House? Swim with dolphins off the Mornington Peninsula? Or Kayak the Abel Tasman National Park? We have detailed itineraries – as well as hotel, restaurant and sightseeing recommendations – for both New Zealand and Australia at www.tripaddiction.com/overview.cfm?zoneid=241
