GREAT DEALS ON FLIGHTS AND PACKAGES TO AUSTRALIA

Tourism Australia just launched a cheeky campaign centered around Danny McBride flying down under to search for his dad, Crocodile Dundee. While the trailers are just (sadly) an ad campaign, they’ve also ushered in deals for flights and package tours around the whole continent.

Qantas is offering roundtrip flights from San Francisco to Sydney for $949. You’ll have to buy before February 15th and travel on specific days in March, April, June, July, September, November, and December.

American is also offering nonstops from L.A. to Sydney for $1,154 roundtrip and non-directs for $1,277 from New York, Miami, Dallas, and several other US airports.

If you want a little pampering and little-to-no worry, Tourism Australia is also offering steep discounts on tour packages. Their City-to-Surf package takes you from fine hotels and dining in Sydney up the coast to Byron Bay for surf, beaches, more great food, and luxe hotels. Seven nights will set you back $1,349 (reduced from $1,899) per person.
