Frequently asked questions about flight sales

Which airlines have frequent flight sales?

Australia's four major airlines all offer regular flight sales.

Qantas has a Fly Away sale which features different destinations at any one time. There's no set day of the week for these sales but they occur regularly throughout the year.

Virgin Australia has a Happy Hour flash sale every Thursday. The start time and length of the sale vary each week but it typically starts at 11am and runs until the evening.

Jetstar's regular flight sale is its Friday Fare Frenzy. This runs from midday until 8pm on Fridays and features some of the best-priced fares the airline can offer.

Rex Airlines doesn't frequently have flight sales but as it increasingly moves into the metro market you can expect a sale as each new route is announced.

How can I get the best deal on a flight?

Outside of sale periods, one of the best ways to nab a cheap flight sale is by being flexible with your dates and travel times. Mid-week flights and flights that take off during the day are generally the cheapest as these are off-peak travel times.

Using a flight search engine can help you scout out the best prices. They're aggregators that crawl through hundreds of booking sites to compare prices and pull out the cheapest.

Price-matching is another way to get a great deal. Jetstar's Price Beat Guarantee states that if you find a cheaper fare online it'll beat it by 10%. Virgin Australia and Emirates both have price promises too.

How can I get half-price flights?

Booking a half-price flight is as simple as booking an eligible flight through the carrier's website.
The half-price flights are part of a government initiative to help the tourism economy recover and are available until 31 July or when they sell out.

They've been on sale for over a month and won't last forever.

You can compare deals through KAYAK but to book, go directly through the airline.

Take a look at the flight sale prices for Jetstar, Qantas, Rex Airlines and Virgin Australia.

You can find the full list of destinations eligible for half-price flights here.

What's the cheapest day to book a flight?

You may have heard that Tuesday is the best day to book your flight. While this might be true in the US, it's not so true in Australia.

Our experts have worked out that the cheapest time to fly is during the work week. Either Tuesday or Wednesday.

How far out is best to book flights?

When travelling over peak periods the general rule is to book as early as possible. That being said, Skyscanner's Best Time To Book tool says it really depends on where you're travelling to. For example, flights from Sydney to Auckland are best booked 2 months in advance while flights to London and Singapore are best booked 25 weeks in advance.

Do I earn frequent flyer points on sale flights?

The ability to earn frequent flyer points on discounted fares depends on the airline's policy.

Some airlines, such as Qantas, allow you to earn a reduced number of points and status credits on sale flights. Others may not allow you to earn any points on sale fares. If in doubt, check the airline's policy before booking.

Is it better to book flights directly with an airline?

While booking through a third party is sometimes cheaper you may not always be covered by an airline's policies.

Always read the airline's flexible flights policy to see what your rights are and whether you're entitled to a refund or credit with the airline.

If in doubt, book directly with the airline. Find out which airlines have flexible flights policies here.

Will I get a refund on my tickets if there's another COVID-19 outbreak or if states close borders?

Before you book any travel be sure to check out the travel restrictions for your destination. Most airlines have a flexible flights policy where they will refund or give you credit for future air fares if your flight is cancelled due to restrictions.

What is the best flight search engine?

Skyscanner and Kayak are two of the leading flight search engines available. You can see how they stack up against one another here.

Most flight search engines will let you search and filter by number of stops, airlines, price and duration, but there are a few options that vary between sites.

We've done a quick comparison of some of those features for you.

      Hello Claudia,

      Thank you for visiting finder to check on flight sales.

      You may see your option from our flight deals to Germany. Please note, however, that flight prices and availability may vary throughout the day. Best if you would book your flights as early as possible so as not to miss out on sales for the dates you intend to travel.

      Hope this helped.

      Cheers,
      Gru
