Etihad is offering a $959 return flight from Sydney and Melbourne to Italy. To grab the cheapest airfares, look to book in November and early December this year.
At this price, you'll be assured a 5-star service that includes checked luggage, meals and in-flight entertainment.
But you'll have to be quick, these prices aren't a part of any specific sale so they'll only be available until sold out.
