Delta – $1,167: Dallas – Sydney, Australia. Roundtrip, including all Taxes

Earlier in the month, we were the first to post a rare deal on Delta from American / US Airways hubs to Australia for about $,1200. Delta is back at it again to Sydney from Dallas. So if you missed it, lock it up now. Remember, this is an attack fare. Buy, then plan if you are considering it or have been considering. You have a 24 hour risk free cancellation period. Use it.

This is over our 6 cents per mile criterion. We are posting it because its rare – this is only the 3rd time in over 6,800 deals. Very rare indeed.

For about $30 more, you can also go to Brisbane [BNE] or Melbourne [MEL] instead, but availability is not as good. And finally, there’s good availability for Thanksgiving break!
