Bula! Whatever island escape you're after, Fiji is the answer. Family-friendly resorts? You got it. Adults-only pools with swim-up bars and evening cocktails? Yup. Island hopping? Oh, don't get us started.

What's more, flights from Brisbane or Sydney take less than four hours each way (go on, Google it, we'll wait), which means you really can have an overseas island break over a weekend. Though we personally recommend giving it a few more days if you can.

With five-star fares down to $539 return, travellers will no doubt be scrounging to snap up seats.

Here's the full list of fares:

• Sydney to Nadi from $539 return
• Brisbane to Nadi from $539 return
• Canberra to Nadi return from $539 return
• Melbourne to Nadi from $595 return
• Adelaide to Nadi from $595 return

Samoa flights from $715 return

• Airline: Fiji Airways
• Travel dates: October 1, 2024 - August 31, 2025
• Sale ends: Sunday October 13, 2024

Famous for its postcard perfect landscape, Samoa is rife with hidden swimming holes, lush forests, gushing waterfalls and lava-formed blowholes. It also has more than its fair share of white sandy beaches to sprawl out on.

While many Aussie airlines fly there, it's not the easiest route with few direct flights to hop onto. Sadly, Fiji Airways doesn't offer direct fares - but, for keen bees, you can save big and see two tropical islands in one holiday flying via Nadi, Fiji.

At $715 return it's difficult to do better. Plus, if you're one of the first 200 people to book flights through Mix & Match you can bring that total down to $665 return using this code: ISLAND50. Full details here. 

Here's the full list of fares:

• Sydney to Samoa from $715 return
• Brisbane to Samoa from $715 return

• Sale ends: Sunday October 13, 2024

Love the idea of a last-minute hop and skip to somewhere new? With the dry season coming to a close, October is the perfect time to pay our Tongan neighbours a visit. Not only are flights super cheap at $650 return from Sydney, but the weather is beautifully sunny and warm. Just what you want when you're on holiday.

Failing that, you can always look forward to 2025 with sale seats available all the way into August 2025. Mind, the rainy season runs from November to April, so we suggest planning to be there from May onward for optimal water visibility. Because there will definitely be snorkelling on the agenda.

All flights include a stopover in Nadi, Fiji - some of which do come with long layovers. For example, one night flight from Brisbane has a 16.5 hour transit. While this sounds painful, if you've ever wanted to see Fiji this could work in your favour as this particular flight has you there from 5.25am to 10pm. That's an entire day to explore if you plan properly.

London IS calling with full-service flights under $1600 return. Picture: iStock

London flights from $1534 return

• Airline: Singapore Airlines
• Travel dates: January 13 - September 10, 2025
• Sale ends: Flight sale ends Thursday October 10, 2024. Earlybird promo code ends Monday September 30, 2024.

Though most of Singapore Airlines' sale is centred on Asian destinations, for those of us with their sights set further away, the airline has thrown us this stunner to the UK. 

With a starting price of $1534 return, they're not the cheapest flights you can score, but when you throw in a full-service airline, 5-star service, a generous 25kgs of luggage (even on Economy Lite and Economy Value fares), and a stopover at one of the best airports in the world, it's well worth paying a bit extra.

To sweeten the deal, we've also sourced a sneaky Mix & Match promo code that shaves an extra $100 off your flight. Simply plug the code EARLYBIRD in the e-voucher field when booking and watch those dollars fall off.
