Once-in-a-lifetime Australia fare sale.

Sydney Opera HouseIf you've wanted to go to Australia - and who hasn't - now may be the best time. Virgin Australia entered the market with high season fares that are about half what they were last year. And in order to stay competitive, United and Delta have matched them.

You can travel roundtrip from LAX to Sydney for $649 to $655, and that includes taxes. The fare is valid from April 12, 2009 through mid December. Since their seasons are opposite ours, that means that you can visit from their fall right up to the beginning of summer.

Because the dollar remains strong against the Australian dollar, your money will go farther once you get there too. One US Dollar buys 1.39 Australian dollars, compared to .76 Euros.

Few destinations have the natural beauty, vibrant culture, and diversity of Australia. With dazzling Sydney Harbor, the spectacular Great Barrier Reef, lost-in-time frontier town, Kakadu National Park, and mystical Ayers Rock, there truly is something for every here.
