While fares to Australia's big three: Melbourne (MEL), Sydney (SYD), and Brisbane (BNE), have been the lowest we've seen in years, other Australian destinations are usually left out of the mix. Qantas the country's flag-carrier is doing something about that with their latest sale focused on Australia's Outback with fares starting at $962 roundtrip. If that seems a tad on the pricey side, keep in mind that's what the going rate just to Sydney was fetching a few years ago.
If the Australian Outback is one of your bucket-list destinations and you're looking to up your travel game – then now's a perfect time to book that dream trip, mate!
