Did you miss Black Friday? No sweat! Tomorrow is Travel Tuesday (2 December 2025), and it's your absolute last chance to secure the biggest flight and holiday discounts of the year.
Travel Tuesday is the day when airlines, hotels, and booking platforms release their absolute final wave of sales, often extending Cyber Monday discounts or dropping limited-seat "fare frenzies." If you're an Aussie planning a trip for 2026, the clock is ticking!
We've compiled the final hot deals from Qantas, Virgin, Jetstar, and major booking sites, and, of course, the essential link to getting your trip connected with AussieRoam!
⏰ The Last-Minute Flight Frenzy: Ends Midnight Tonight!
Many of the huge Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales are explicitly ending at 11:59 PM AEDT tomorrow night (2 December). This is the best day to book seats that haven't sold out yet.
Qantas: Final Weekends & International Whoppers
Qantas's 'Travel Week' discounts are ending soon. Focus on the dates where they still have seats, particularly for:
• Domestic Fares from $99 one-way: Great for popular routes like Melbourne ↔ Sydney and Sydney ↔ Gold Coast.
• Final International Deals: Check for leftover deals on destinations like Los Angeles ($999 return) and Bali ($559 return). These seats are disappearing fast!
Virgin Australia: Low-Cost Lifesaver
Virgin's sale is scheduled to run until midnight. This is your chance to grab the cheapest domestic seats:
• Interstate Essentials: Look for domestic routes from $49 one-way (e.g., Sydney to Ballina/Byron Bay, or Gold Coast).
• Short-Haul International: Don't miss those Bali return fares starting from $419, perfect for a 2026 escape.
Jetstar: Cyber Monday Fare Frenzy Extension
Jetstar often extends its Cyber Monday sale right through Tuesday night.
• Fares from $29: Their Cyber Monday Fare Frenzy has one last day of incredible domestic sales starting from $29 one-way.
• Club Jetstar Exclusive Seats: If you're a member, check the app immediately for member-only seating inventory that may have just been released.
🏖️ Holiday Packages & Stays: Travel Tuesday's Best
Travel Tuesday is often the best day to secure hotel and package deals, as airlines and hotels compete to clear their inventory.
