If you’ve ever wanted to visit Australia, now is the time! (Before the Queen of daytime television takes the place over in December when she flies her audience down there to tape her special 25th season premiere show on the steps of the Sydney Opera House.) To launch The Ultimate Australian Adventure, and a brand new ad campaign by Australian director, Michael Gracie, Qantas is offering 55% off flights from Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York to Australia starting from $938 round trip, but offer ends Thursday, 30 September, 2010.

The Qantas superjumbo A380 has become synonymous throughout the airline industry with design and comfort. More than 550,000 passengers have flown on the A380 since it entered the Qantas fleet in late 2008, and customer feedback has been outstanding. The Qantas A380 features the fewest amount of seats (450) in the premium carrier industry, providing passengers with a truly luxurious flight experience. The airline has won several awards for the Marc Newson-designed onboard products on the A380, including the ‘Chicago Athenaeum Good DesignTM Award’ and Travel Weekly’s Silver Magellan Award (2010) for the Qantas First Suites, along with a number 1 ranking for ‘Best Premium Economy’ in the 2010 global passenger survey from Skytrax, and ‘Best Inflight Wine List, Worldwide’ from USA Today. Qantas currently has six A380s in service and expects to take delivery of its seventh in the final quarter of 2010 with a tenth aircraft to be delivered by March 2011. Qantas operates up to 45 return services from the US to Australia per week, and offers the only daily A380 service from Los Angeles to Sydney, along with A380 services three times per week from Los Angeles to Melbourne (increasing to daily upon delivery of the tenth A380 from Airbus).
