A great deal for Australian readers

Qantas has a great Wanderlust sale until February 15 and is excellent value for trips from Australia to Asia, the US and Chile. Highlights from Sydney include:

• Thailand, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and China for under 800 AUD
• Los Angeles, San Francisco and Dallas/Fort Worth for under 1250 AUD
• Santiago for under 1300 AUD

Santiago, Chile

If you already have a sizable Qantas Points balance, stick with that. If not, I would recommend crediting any flights you take on Qantas to their oneworld alliance partner American Airlines, as their AAdvantage frequent flyer program offers cheaper redemption opportunities. Plus they are running a great bonus points deal this month.

A couple of good deals for readers on the US West Coast

• Los Angeles to Rio de Janeiro for 569 USD
• San Francisco/Los Angeles to Cape Town for 903 USD
