From the TravelZoo Newsdesk: This is unbelievable but you can book now to fly to Australia (Melbourne or Sydney) for only $380, and THAT’s roundtrip! Normally these babies go for over $1,600.

This special is only available til tomorrow at noon PST or until sold out. And since there are only a very limited amount of seats available the latter scenario is more likely to happen. So hurry up and grab your tickets to Oz.

The fuel surcharge is included, but taxes are an extra $120-$150 depending on itinerary. Sydney fares are valid for Wednesday, Friday and Sunday departures. Melbourne fares are valid on Monday and Wednesday departures.

The special fare is to celebrate the launch of the Qantas A380 and is only good for travel from November 2 to December 8 of this year on the A380.

If you miss out on the $380 deal you can always book roundtrip to Australia for the other special low deal of $1,098 (good til June 27).

Another deal from the Travelzoo Newsdesk:
