Travel Deal Tuesday: Qantas launch domestic flights sale to beat the chill this winter

As parts of Australia shiver through the first cold snap of the season, this flight sale could have you jetting off to warmer weather.

As the cold snap takes hold along the east coast, jetsetting away to warmer weather couldn’t come at a better time.

But if you’re not keen on venturing to Europe, there’s plenty of options closer to home over the winter break. And, of course, a few stunning deals a little further from home that will have you soaking up the sun.

News.com.au’s Travel Deal Tuesday brings you three of the best bargains from around the world, offering our favourite holiday specials and package deals from the week.

QANTAS LAUNCH QUEENSLAND FLIGHT SALE

If you want to keep your winter escape within Australian shores, Qantas has launched an epic Queensland sale on flights booked before June 3.

With flights from just $99, you could have yourself on the shores of Hervey Bay from $105 or perhaps exploring Cairns and Port Douglas for just $109 one way.

Close to 300 additional seats will be available for customers travelling from Brisbane and

Sydney to Hamilton Island between July and September this year, following a trend of travel to the island during the cooler months.

“We know there is already strong demand from customers travelling to the Whitsundays both in winter and over the school holidays and our existing flights are very popular,” Qantas Domestic CEO Andrew David said in a statement.

FLY TO THE US FROM JUST $913 RETURN

Flying to the US is getting cheaper and cheaper every year, and this deal from Air NZ comes as no exception.

The best part is that you don’t have to fly into the notoriously busy LAX to snap up this special, with trips to San Francisco and Houston also on offer for the same price.

If you're keen on getting to San Francisco before Christmas, this deal could be for you.

From today, customers can head to LA, San Francisco or Houston from $913 return when departing Melbourne. If you’re flying out of Sydney, you’ll pay closer to $930 return. And if you’re in Brisbane, you can head over to experience an American summer from $935 return.

The travel dates will vary depending on which city you choose to fly to, however if you are looking at LA you’ll need to book your holiday between October 16 and December 4, 2019.

If you've done California, this fare to Texas might be more to your liking.

If you’re heading to San Francisco you’ll need to travel between October 18 and November 27, 2019 and if you’re after a Texas adventure you’ll need to travel between October 12 and December 6, 2019.
