If you’ve looked into airfare from the United States to Australia, you already know that you’ll be paying over US$1,000 no matter what. Some good news is that if you take advantage of Qantas’ Aussie AirPass, you can fly around Australia once you get there for about the same price. The deal includes a flight from the US to Sydney, and then up to 3 additional flights for prices starting at $1,099.

Here’s an example itinerary:
Los Angeles to Sydney
Sydney to Melbourne
Melbourne to Adelaide
Adelaide to Brisbane
Brisbane to Los Angeles

That trip would go for US$1,099 in May or August, although prices jump in June and July. You can even add extra and more remote destinations for US$300 more, so you can really see a lot of that huge country for just a bit more than a roundtrip flight there.
