Today Qatar Airways has dropped a mega sale with flights from Melbourne Airport to Europe and the UK up to 12 per cent off.

Hot on their heels, Malaysia Airlines has also given airfares a mighty chop with up to 12 per cent off economy seats and up to 15 per cent off business class ones. We know which we're eyeing.

Now it's not every day that you see luggage prices slashed in half, but The Iconic has done just that.

Both Samsonite and American Tourister cases have been given this hefty chop, though mind it is only on selected cases. Of your options, highlights include the the Samsonite Upscape 3 Piece Set B, which is now $425 (down from $850), the American Tourister Applite 4E Upright 50cm carry-on, which is now $130 (down from $260) and the Samsonite Hi-Fi Spinner 75cm Expandable which is now $262.50 (down from $525).

Antler and Strandbags shouldn't be forgotten either. They're both slinging 40 per cent off luggage when you spend $399 or more, while Monos is slashing 25 per cent off everything when you use the code PRESIDENT.

And if romance is on the cards? You can do no better than a browse of Luxury Escapes' beautifully curated packages. Right now they have up to 54 per cent off the all-inclusive Pullman Maldives Maamutaa and up to 68 per cent off The Little Shore Khao Lak by Katathani stays which includes daily breakfast and a nightly dinner. As an aside, if you're searching for a White Lotus experience, the Samujana Twenty-Seven which features in the new season is available to book on Airbnb.

While you're there, why not pack your day full of activities through Experience Oz. This Aussie experience site is making the most of the sunshine with up to 20 per cent off selected activities.

As for essentials? Underwear experts Boody's brought 25 per cent selected items to the table, YORA is giving away travel size packs of their skincare (just pay shipping!) and Andie Swim is clearing out for summer with 40 per cent off sitewide.
