Lets Travel Down Under Via Air Canada/Westjet and Jetstar or Fiji Airways
Hello, adventurers! This is The Canadian Jetsetter, your travel confidant who'll alert you about seat sales faster than a speeding a380.
Ever contemplated avoiding winter completely and hopping on a plane down under? Well, hang on to your sunnies because I've found an unconventional, yet cost-effective way for you to experience the Aussie sun! We are flying Air Canada or WestJet on flight #1 and Jetstar on flight #2.
From: Vancouver (though most Canadian cities can get this deal via connection through Vancouver for a little bit more)
To: Honolulu with a multi-day layover
To: Sydney
When: Select dates in October, November and December
Price: One way from $429 - Round trip from $1,062
Sometimes the stars align and it becomes cheaper to take multiple one-way flights rather then creating a round-trip itinerary.
This is perfect for travellers trying to hit a bunch of destinations or young Canadians taking advantage of doing a working holiday in Australia without committing to a return date.
So book this journey one-way and figure the rest out later or book it round-trip and compare the beaches in Australia to Hawaii. Remember, this isn't just about cost-cutting, it's about turning a long-haul necessity into a travel opportunity.
👇 Vancouver to Sydney via Stopover in Honolulu 👇
These two flights can only be booked separately, I’d recommend staying an extra day or two in Hawaii on each end as a buffer in case of travel complications (sorry for scoring you an extra Hawaii vacation 😉). Here’s your outbound option:
Vancouver to Honolulu - Nov 23rd - $234 one-way
If you want to fly from elsewhere its typically $50-$125 more with a connection in Vancouver
If you want to return to Canada after visiting Honolulu and Sydney more power to you. Here’s an option back:
I realize this travel itinerary isn’t for the faint of heart. If you want a more simple option see below!
So you want the deal to Australia and you don’t want to jump through any hoops? How about flying Fiji Airways from Vancouver to Sydney with a stopover in Fiji.
From: Vancouver
To: Sydney (via Fiji)
When: Select dates in October, November and December
Price: Round trip from $1,193
Bonus: You can book a stop-over of up to 3 extra days in Fiji for no extra cost!
Have you been practicing your 'Bula!' in front of the mirror, or maybe perfecting your koala cuddling techniques? This deal is your ticket to blend Fijian fiestas and Australian adventures in one unforgettable trip!
👇 Fiji Airways Deal to Sydney (via Fiji) 👇
I recommend booking direct with the airline whenever possible. If you’re looking at any of the options linked above select “Book with Fiji Airways” after selecting the relevant flights.
