Monday, September 9, 2024 Webjet, in collaboration with Melbourne Airport, has announced one of the most significant early bird airfare sales in years, offering some of the cheapest flights for holidaymakers in 2025. The sale covers flights on major airlines including Air New Zealand, Singapore Airlines, Vietjet, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Garuda Indonesia, and Philippine Airlines. While the offers are enticing for budget-conscious travelers, the sale comes with a key condition: all flights must depart from Melbourne Airport to activate the discounted fares.
The sale features a diverse lineup of airlines, providing travelers with multiple options to reach popular destinations around the world. Whether travelers are eyeing trips to Europe, North America, or Asia, there are bargains available. Air New Zealand is offering discounted fares to North America, with flights as low as $922 for round trips to Los Angeles and San Francisco via Auckland.
For those considering a trip to Europe, Qatar Airways is offering flights from Melbourne to Rome for $1189, a fare that hasn’t been seen in years, especially for long-haul flights. Singapore Airlines and Vietjet also provide competitive options for travelers, making this sale a notable opportunity for early planners. Melbourne Airport, which is subsidizing the sale, stands to gain by increasing its passenger volume through its terminals.
The airport benefits financially from per-passenger charges that are included in airfare cost.
