Australia Roundtrip from West Coast $760; From JFK $960

Looking to head down under? You always hear people raving about Australia after they go for a visit, so it's on many people's travel wish lists. Right now, Qantas is making that dream come a bit closer by offering a sale on airfares for outbound travel between February 1st and September 21st. You can fly from San Francisco or Los Angeles to Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane for $760 roundtrip. If you're on the East Coast and want to leave from New York City, it's just a $960 fare.

These special prices are about $300 less than the regular airfare, so it's a nice bit of savings. They need to be booked by January 26th, but the sooner you look, the better your choice will be of dates.

The airport and security taxes/fees are additional, as with most advertised airfares.

It's really unusual to see such a long period covered by a discount fare. You can pretty much pick the season you want to be there. Remember, it's still summertime in Australia in February!
