Cheap Flights of the Week: Australia, Asia, Europe
A weekly round-up of the best flight deals across the net.
$33: Flights Australia-wide
Fly Tigerair when you book via Flight Centre.
Short-haul flights for $33, medium-haul flights for $66 and long-haul flights for $99 across Tigerair's entire network. Sample flights are: Sydney-Brisbane, Hobart-Melbourne, Sydney-Melbourne for $33, Melbourne-Coffs Harbour, Canberra-Brisbane, Adelaide-Sydney for $66 and Sydney-Cairns, Perth-Melbourne/Sydney/Brisbane, Darwin-Brisbane for $99. All fares are one-way.

We love these flights because
- They cover Tigerair's entire domestic network.
- Tigerair rarely offer starting fares lower than $35, making this an exceptional find.
- Flights are for spring, which is a quieter but optimal season weather-wise for many locations across Australia.

Fly Qantas when you book via Flight Centre.
Flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane are all priced at $568 return. All are return fares.
Checked baggage, meals and entertainment are included.
Dates: October-November.
We love these flights because
- It doesn't matter which major Aussie city you're flying from, the return fare is still the same.
- These are some of the cheapest fares to Hong Kong we've seen with Qantas, especially from Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane which tend to fall to $599 return.
- Flights are during the autumn, which is one of the best times to visit Hong Kong for cool weather.

Sample fares include Perth-Dublin for $1,140, Melbourne-Dublin for $1,243, Sydney-Rome for $1,305, Melbourne-Paris for $1,305, Sydney-Manchester from $1,396. All are return fares.

- Wide range of travel dates means you can still have a sunny European adventure or a late white-Christmas.
