Cheap economy flights from Australia

Economy fares from Australian airports that sell for well under their usual price, one way and return. Economy members get every one the moment we find it. Everyone else gets ten a day free, the best by discount: the dates, the price and the Google Flights link.

What qualifies

• 25% or more below Google's usual price for the dates, and 25% or more below our own median for the route. We quote the smaller of the two.
• Checked again on the Google Flights results page for the airline, the stops and the exact price before it goes up.
• No price cap: a long-haul return counts at any price once it clears the bar.
• From Australian airports, one way and return.
