Leg room, checked baggage and in-flight meals don’t often come cheap, but they sure do there’s a good Qantas sale on. Red Tail sales come in many shapes and sizes, and the airline’s latest is discounting flights to destinations all over Asia. Starting at just AU$517 return you can fly in comfort to cities in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and more.

This Qantas Red Tail sale ends on 19 May, but there’s often bargains to be had.

Qantas Red Tail sales are sporadic, but relatively frequent. They pop up about once every month or two featuring different destinations including Asia and North America.

There are some regular sales periods where Qantas often features deals. These include:

Unlike Jetstar’s Friday Fare Frenzy and Virgin Australia’s Happy Hour, there aren’t any regularly scheduled Qantas sales.

Rarely, but yes! While it’s been a while since the airline dropped flights to below the $100 mark, in both March and April 2025 there were $99 flights available in a big sale featuring flights to and from Queensland.

The $99 fares were available on flights from Sydney to Gold Coast and Brisbane to Prosepine (Whitsunday Coast).

Since it returned twice already in 2025, hopefully we’ll see more of these cheap Qantas fares in the future.
