Nice shot of QF’s Airbus 380. 

EXTENDED: 2-for-1 sale now valid through Wednesday,  Nov. 19, 2008). Act fast. Call Glory or Tesa at USTravel ( 800-622-6449 ) to help sort out the details and land a good price on the seats (plus 50 percent off the 3rd and 4th traveler!!). Depart between Feb. 1 and Apr. 30, 2009 (complete by May 30, 2009). Applies to travel from U.S. gateways like Honolulu, L.A., San Francisco to New Zealand and Australia destinations. For Alaskans, it’s probably fastest/cheapest to fly to Honolulu on Alaska Airlines, then on to Australia/N.Z. from there.  Details online.

PS–I think we’ll be seeing more air fare sales. We’ll keep you posted.

Did I mention that Boeing is on strike? As if to drive that point home, Qantas, formerly an all-Boeing carrier, now is offering a special to celebrate the delivery of their first Airbus 380! 

This is one big, honkin’ jet. My friend Johnny Jet took the double-decker for a spin the other day with Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta. Yeah. Uh-huh. No, really. First off, Travolta has his own Qantas jet that he flies hither and yon. That’s right–he’s a regulation four-striper. Well, maybe not exactly regulation–but he’s checked out on the aircraft.

And Olivia? Well, that’s another kettle of fish. Anyway, click through to Johnny’s page and see the new Qantas airplane. W-a-a-a-y cool.

Here’s a nice pic of the big bird:

Fly from San Francisco or L.A. to Brisbane or Sydney for $380 each way. That’s $900 roundtrip with taxes. Your package price includes 4d/3n at a nice hotel, airport transfers and some day tours. Of course, you can add on some additional trips to the Great Barrier Reed, Ayers Rock or Perth. Even wine country!

You have to lock this deal in by Oct. 31, so call USTravel right now: (907)561-2434 or toll-free: (800)544-2217.
