If you have been planning for a trip to the land Down Under, here’s your chance with Qantas’s sale which allows you to travel to different cities in Australia and New Zealand from $380 one-way inclusive of taxes, fees and surcharges.
As a frequent traveler to Australia myself, this limited time sale has caught my attention with one of the best economy fare you can get if you travel from Singapore.
Unfortunately, good deals don’t last as the sale will end in 2 days (7 Apr 2015). Thus, make your booking fast before the seats are gone.
Let’s check the actual booking for Melbourne as an example to see if it is indeed a steal.
Singapore – Melbourne:
Melbourne – Singapore:
It would come up to a total of $677 SGD all-in which include taxes, fees and carriage charges. If you are wondering what they mean by “exclude local airport taxes at time of check-in”, it seems like you have nothing to worry about if you are travelling to Australia.

Make sure you read the terms and conditions carefully and note the outbound travel period which is important to retrieve an accurate fare.
More reasons to fly:
1. Lower Fuel Surcharges
With oil price plummeting, one would expect fuel surcharges to follow suit. That’s right, Singapore Airlines has reduced fuel surcharges since 26 February 2015 in a media release and that means a reduction of USD5 – USD83 per sector, depending on distance and class of travel. If you are a frequent traveler, now you know why it is cheaper to travel now than before.
2. Favourable Exchange Rate
With a favourable exchange rate of SGD against most countries, destinations like Bali, Australia and Europe are pretty attractive for travelers.
