Virgin Australia has a great sale on presently, with international deals to Bali, Fiji, Vanuatu, NZ, Samoa and Japan, and domestic flights from $55 one way.
I’m focusing on the Japan route, where most flights change in Cairns and then go direct to Tokyo (Haneda airport)!
Virgin has deals on their site for Lite fares (no bags) but the ones I’m finding are inclusive of 23kg luggage, but depending on your requirements, make sure to check the allowance carefully – you might want space to bring back some Japanese pottery if my wife’s backpack was anything to go by!
Flights officially on sale from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Cairns, but there’s no reason why you can’t also connect from your town/city.
