Need another holiday? Singapore on sale for less than $450 return

Jetstar has dropped the prices for all its routes to Singapore, meaning that you can pick up some unbelievable return fares, including:

• Melbourne return from $386
• Sydney return from $446

All fares are including tax. Departures are in late Feb – March. The full round-up of dates and fares can be found on Adioso.

I predict that we’re going to be seeing a lot more cut-price fares as January & February bring the usual retail lull. So, there’s no rush to spend your Christmas money all at once – by the end of January, there’s certainly going to be more where this came from.

Happy new year, everyone! I wish you all great adventures and more coin to spend on cocktails in 2010.

Take your mum, it’s a great time to fly!

Hot on the heels of Air New Zealand’s sale, Qantas is offering fares from Australian cities to Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland from $199 one way, $362 return including tax. Sale is on until midnight, Thursday, 20th July, for travel during 08 August to 25 September 2009, 12 October to 15 December 2009 & 27 January to 31 March 2010.

This is awesome value as Qantas’ fares are roughly the same as Jetstar’s on the Sydney to Christchurch route, for a full-service flight (including a minimum earn of 1,000 Qantas Frequent Flyer points). Please note that this sale originated in New Zealand, so you will have to switch the “From:” and “To:” locations to depart from Australia.

Visit Qantas’ sale page for details and to book.
