Virgin has a 'tropical' happy hour sale on with flights to Cairns from all over Australia.
Sale ends 11pm.
Many aggregators will likely show prices even lower if you're prepared to hunt around.
Note that lite fares don't include luggage, but choice fares do.
RipCurl outlet has some good carry ons
solid as TightArses deals
I have both a samsonite and a Kathmandu duffel bag. The samsonite weighs 1.5kg and the Kathmandu 700 grams. Samsonite useful for business travel where I have shirts I don’t want disturbed, Kathmandu always lets me take more weight then Jetstar allows cause of its shape - it never gets questioned. It also fits way more in and always fits fine in the baggage test station if required.
The above linked kathmandu is 2.15kg can you send link for your bag?

Must be end of line now. I got it back then on this ozbargain special.
I’ve got the Kathmandu fold up duffel and a fold up backpack. Gives you options for carry on storage and they are light.
I think this is the one I have. On 4-6 flights a month with it. Been great so far. Using it about 12 months now

I saw some amazingly cheap carry on luggage at Coles for $0.15… weighs almost nothing and can hold about 5kg 😜
It depends on what you want it for.our carryon is day pack size and can be stashed under the seat. Makes fir easier exits off the plane.

Flights are insanely priced these days. Trying to find a decent priced flight anywhere during sept schools holidays from Melbourne is minimum in the 1000s. Airline CEOs are just gouging post Covid consumers with no recourse.
Can anyone recommend a decent carry on bag? I searched on here, but could only find some old threads from about 4 years ago recommending this —-> https://theluggageprofessionals.com.au/products/samsonite-72…
Anything better/cheaper now?
