- ("The good oil" is an Australian phrase usually taken to mean "good or favorable news.")
There are always low-cost airfare and travel package deals available from airline companies or travel agents.
It's a good idea to visit airline sites when you're thinking of taking a trip.
For international travel to Australia, check out Qantas — and other airlines flying to Australia — for current specials.
Also try Australian Airlines for travel between Queensland and parts of Asia/Southeast Asia, and Pacific Blue for travel between Australia and New Zealand.
Locally, there are cheap fares on the following sites:
Qantas
Jetstar
Virgin Australia
Rex - Regional Express
Tiger Airways
Low-priced domestic air fares are usually available only on the Internet, paid in advance for definite departure dates, and are on a "use it or lose it" basis (you are not allowed to change dates of travel, for instance, except on payment of extra fees). But check with the airline or your travel agent.
Every effort is made to keep links to external websites up-to-date and accurate, but websites change constantly -- and so do airfares and deals!
