You can get return tickets from the east coast of Australia(BNE/SYD/MEL) to Dallas USA for approximately $1000 with http://www.expedia.ie/.
I have found dates in October, November of this year and next year in February. Other dates may have this cheaper rate.
Same site Syd - LAX direct (return) Qantas late Feb out late Mar back $940…doesn't get much cheaper, ever!!!! ps. the Taxes etc alone on this itinerary is normally $800!!
doesn't get much cheaper, ever!!!!
Was EUR656 = AUD817 SYD-LAX-SYD through the same site a few weeks ago: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/70589
I also booked LAX-SYD-LAX for EUR656 a few days ago.
So it does get cheaper! :P
can you let me know what date actualy is. save my time searching :-)
been looking special deal to go to LA.
can only get EURO 752 the lowest in late Feb '13 out back mid Mar '13
which means about EURO 1,500 total including taxes etc
736 Euro total is the cheapest I've come across, departing Feb 20 returning Mar 18 Melb > LA > Melb.
Your price is likely return too, not each way. Proceed to the checkout and you'll see this.
use matrix.itasoftware.com and use calendar search, put price in AUD and sales city as Dublin. It will show you the best dates to use on the expedia.ie website
Thank you!!
Got AUD $916 Return Syd to LA Direct in March
I think I'm in love with this site =)
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this.
Anyone know of a good deal to Europe for June next year?
Never been to US before. If I were to go New york, how long should I stay there for? anyone know any cheap hotels?
I don't think there is such thing as a cheap hotel in NY :) Have a great trip!
Absolutely nothing cheap in New York. You're looking at around $400 a night minimum, average being upwards of $500.
We stayed in Brooklyn and had a free cab ride into the city each morning and that cost us $300 a night (absolutely no refunds), and it was in a very dodgy area.
This was for a family of 4.
Hotel Carter is around $100 and close to Times Square.
Dallas is definitely worth a couple of days, JFK museum, Deep Ellum, Arts district.
Dallas is worth it just for Six Flags, those coasters are insane!
I rented a hotel room for $1500 for a month. Near the corner of 99th and broadway. Communal bathroom and kitchen but room and bed was nice, with a big plasma screen.
Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I am gonna have to look for somewhere outside of New York then *sigh
Can't afford more than $100/night :D

Considered the backpacker route? Its about 40 bucks a night per bed. HI New York is pretty good and 5 minute walk to the 103th on the 1 train.
Where I stayed in January 2011 for about $90 a night, booked quite early though. It's only a block away from Times Square so it's a pretty excellent location. You're looking at about $200 a night there now though, and it is comfortable but basic.
Otherwise: http://www.airbnb.com/
I was just in NY a couple of weeks ago. Rented an apartment in Long Island City (5 minutes by subway to midtown) for $100/night through Wimdu (competitor of Airbnb). Forget the hotels.
You rather get a room by going here http://www.airbnb.com/ (shared or have the apartment to yourself) you get what Hotels don't get, very cheap plus a great experience to mix with local people.
Can anyone explain why these flights are so cheap through expedia.ie?
Looks like Qantas and Virgin only though?
I'm looking to do BNE -> NYC early next year, but really don't want to fly Virgin or Qantas, as they don't offer any inseat power in economy. Korean seem to just fine, but haven't found them on special at all. Any tips on finding specials on a GOOD airline?
Cheap Backpackers LA Backpackers Paradise free pick up drop off and food nibbles and transport to 2 venues
Anyone actually traveled on one of these cheap flights??
What exchange rate do they use?
I'm looking at booking a flight for 2 return to LA. It.s about $1000 cheaper than Qantas.
Thanks, Booked BNE-LAX-BNE next year. Can someone suggest the best way of getting alerts to cheap domestic airfares in the US? We plan on going to NY and Florida.
Kayak does email alerts.
Just in time for the start of the NBA season loved to go to Dallas to see the Mavs play at AAC
so bloody tempted.. annual leave is the biggest issue with already 2 international holidays booked in the next 12 months..why do u do this to me OzB
I think you guys broke down the site…
I think it's cheaper cause the Euro is up the **** and they still want people to fly..that's my thinking…
Anyway, you can get flights from Melb to LAX for roughly $820 return for May 2013..now all I got to do is wait for June to be added and I am booking!!!
I just booked some flights to LA taking the family to disney land in the school holidays next year. for 4 of us only $3200 return!
Just booked my flight to LA. For those who had booked, do you get charged 30 euros for admin fee?
standard booking fee. I should have read the terms&conditions…lols…
OMG! This is insane! I just got back from the states! absolutely loved it .. I actually want to go live there for a bit but its not as easy for us aussies as the UK option.. Alas :((
But this deal has me reaching for the credit card which is already busted from this trip!
Just such a bargain price! Well done to those who found it & posted it here :)))
Much appreciate any advice on accomm bookings for a couple staying in LA/SF/Las Vegas/Hawaii.
My flights are 100 euros cheaper than the last sale these guys had and that was a great deal back then
Wow, this is great. Is it possible to book the flights online? Or do I have to wait until tomorrow and call a flight centre?? Do they just accept what you say about price?? Thanks
yes, you book it through the expedia.ie site as per the instructions in the initial post…
Thanks very much for this.
Booked premium economy for a trip I was already planning on, paid just under half what I had budgeted to pay.
Just tried to book now and could not get any cheap Quantas tickets.Has this ended?
Yeah looks like it - yesterday I was seeing a MultiTrip from MEL - NYC - MIA - LA - MEL for 1,111 euros, this morning it's gone up to 1,484 euros for the exact same flights :(
Damm,So upset.Had to wait for some money to clear.It finaly cleared this morning and prices went up.
Thanks to OP!!!
paid $1800 for 2 tickets for april-may 2013!
Lucky me that i booked it yesterday.
Wow, tickets today went up 40% from yesterday! How is that possible?
Sold out? Or maybe they know people are booking more on the weekends? Either way where is my $850 return ticket!?
End of the sale?
Looks like someone forgot the YQ again…
