Published on November 3, 2025

Qantas Airways has announced its groundbreaking Explorer fare sale for the Indian market, offering a chance for travelers to experience Australia’s hidden gems at unbeatable prices. The airline’s first-ever Explorer fare sale unlocks two million discounted seats for Indian tourists, who can now access discounted flights to over 45 Australian destinations. This limited-time offer is available for booking until November 26, 2025.

The campaign, launched in collaboration with Tourism Australia, aims to inspire Indian tourists to venture beyond Australia’s major cities and uncover its breathtaking natural landscapes, vibrant cities, and iconic landmarks. With the introduction of this sale, Qantas is extending its commitment to making Australian adventures more accessible for Indian travelers. By offering these incredible discounts, Qantas aims to offer more opportunities for travelers to explore not just Sydney and Melbourne, but also the hidden treasures of Australia’s vast regions.

An Affordable Path to Australia’s Unmatched Landscapes

For the first time ever, Qantas has expanded its Explorer fares to include an additional two million discounted seats, complementing the existing discounts that travelers from India can access. The special fares are available when booking a flight from India to Australia in conjunction with domestic Australian flights on Qantas. The discount can be as much as 20% off the base fare, making it an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to explore Australia on a budget.

This partnership with Tourism Australia emphasizes the diverse and scenic experiences Australia offers—from the Great Barrier Reef’s vibrant coral gardens to the sweeping desert landscapes surrounding Uluru. For nature lovers and culture seekers, this sale offers unparalleled access to Australia’s beauty, with suggested itineraries designed to introduce visitors to the country’s true essence, extending beyond just the well-known cities of Sydney and Melbourne.

Nick McGlynn, Executive Vice President of Qantas, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating, “We’re thrilled to introduce our first-ever Explorer fare sale for the Indian market. With two million discounted seats available, we’re making it easier than ever for Indian travelers to discover Australia’s stunning destinations. Our nonstop flights from India, paired with discounted domestic fares, create a seamless travel experience for those seeking an authentic Australian adventure.”

The strategic focus of the campaign is to draw attention to Australia’s lesser-known but equally beautiful areas. Travelers can explore destinations like the tropical rainforest of Queensland, the ancient rock formations of Kakadu National Park, and the unique culture of Tasmania. The wide range of affordable options is designed to encourage longer stays, allowing visitors to truly immerse themselves in the diverse landscapes and experiences Australia offers.

Indian Travelers: Ready to Explore Australia Like Never Before

According to Nishant Kashikar, Country Manager for Tourism Australia in India and the Gulf, “India continues to be a vital market for Australian tourism. This partnership with Qantas is the perfect opportunity to showcase Australia’s extraordinary destinations and offer Indian travelers a warm welcome. With Ruby the Kangaroo leading the way, this campaign highlights the unique experiences awaiting visitors, encouraging them to extend their trips and explore more regions across the country.”
