It's not quite Black Friday but already Virgin Australia is bringing their A-game with up to 25 per cent off flights in and out of Sydney, Newcastle and Ballina-Byron.

Prices start at $49 each way and and while most travel dates range from April to September 2025 certain routes, including Adelaide to Sydney and Melbourne to Sydney, have numerous January and February 2025 dates to snap up. Last-minute summer vacay? We think so.

Want more options? Flight Centre has cheap Jetstar seats across Australia for the tail-end of the summer school holidays as well.

Travel dates range from January 20, 2025 to March 31, 2025 and fares start at $79 a pop. Sample flights to get you excited include Melbourne to Adelaide from $79 each way, Sydney to Gold Coast from $79 each way and Sydney to Hamilton Island from $125 each way. 

With flights sorted it's time to book your stay, and Luxury Escapes has plenty of discounts up its sleeve. Stays at The Reef View Hotel on Hamilton Island are now 47 per cent off and include a Coral Sea View Upgrade, daily breakfast, airport or marina transfers and $100 resort credit.

Those looking for somewhere quieter can check out RACV Noosa Resort. At 62 per cent off, three nights will set you back just $999 per apartment and that includes daily breakfast, $75 in resort credit, nightly drinks and use of the resort's shuttle.

Over at Escape Deals, we're loving this Trans Resort Bali deal where you'll score two-nights and includes breakfast and afternoon tea daily, a themed lunch or dinner, one massage and discounted entry to Trans Resort Bali from $608 per room.

As for Christmas presents? There's a lot on sale here, too.

Cult beauty brand Kotia has taken up to 50 per cent off its entire range. Bescher isn't far behind with up to 30 per cent off sitewide, while The Collagen Co. is running 20 per cent off everything on site.

Aussie outdoor specialists Zorali has up to 60 per cent off sale, which includes its bestselling Escapade backpack and Ever Vessel is throwing in free personalisation or a free accessory with every water bottle.

For those who love tech Hubbl Hub has cut the cost of upgrading your Smart TV by half and HP has added more laptops and PCs to its early Black Friday sales list. At up to 50 per cent off, how could you possibly resist?

Finally, if none of those sit well for a Chrissy present, Liquorland has a bottle of sparkling Croser Orange Spritz that's down to $23. Options, we love options.
