If you’ve always wanted to go to Australia, now might be the time.  STA Travel has an unprecedented round-trip price of $457 for students and $596 for non-students to fly from Los Angeles to Sydney, these prices include all taxes and fees!  Flying to Sydney usually costs $1,200, and that’s on the very low-end.  The prices are for select dates between 7/1/2009 and 11/30/2009, while it will be winter in Australia soon the temperatures are still in the sixties and by November it will be almost summer there then, so you don’t have to worry about poor weather.

While STA travel is a student, youth and teacher based travel site the deal and booking is available to any traveler, it’s just a bit cheaper for students.  To get the student deal you will need to have the ISIC/STA Travel card that costs $22 a year and gets you deals on various other travel and retail both domestically and internationally.
