Delta: Portland – Brisbane, Australia. $862 (Basic Economy) / $1,122 (Regular Economy). Roundtrip, including all Taxes

A good sale to Brisbane

Delta’s $1,122 fare is a regular economy fare with ONE checked bag, normal size carry-on, no cancellation fees and mileage earning.

Delta also has a $862 fare, but it is a Basic Economy / Economy Light fare. These Basic Economy / Economy Light fares:

  • DO NOT allow for advance seat assignments
  • DO NOT allow for changes
  • DO NOT allow for cancellations – so if you cancel after the 24 hour risk free period, the Basic Economy version will have no value for future travel
  • DO NOT allow for mileage earning
  • However, it does include ONE checked bag.

You need to get an Electronic Travel Authorization for entry to Australia. There are a lot of scammy sites that sell them for more than the $20AUD that you can get directly from the Australian Government.
