Down Under: Cheap & Flexible

Now I'm not usually one to talk about commercial travel. I prefer to talk about destinations and what to do once you get there. But I ran across this deal and I'll admit, it's terribly tempting. QANTAS is offering an Airpass - starting at very reasonable prices ($999 for Southeastern Australia, $1199 for Northeastern, and $1399 for the West) you can fly from Los Angeles to Australia, as well as take three flights within the country (more for another $100 each).

Normally, I'm not one to want to take flights within a country, I'd much rather drive - you see more that way. But Australia is a continent. It's HUGE. In order to get a nice sampling of the country, some flights would not go amiss. Pricewise, I don't think it can be beat. You might find a package deal but you'd be stuck in their itinerary and only able to go at certain times. This promotion should be around for a while, since Australia is currently trying to promote tourism pretty aggressively.

That said, I'd still want to go Roadtrippin' Oz once I got there... If you decide to go, make sure to drop me a postcard ;)
