QATAR Airways has a deal with Helloworld offering flights to London, Barcelona or Milan and more from $1,755pp. The sale ends on April 20.

EMIRATES is also offering special fares to celebrate 25 years of flying to Sydney. I can't imagine there is any great discount, but contact iFLY for more details. By the way, hang on to your boarding pass in Dubai—it unlocks savings at hundreds of venues.

Remember conditions always apply to these specials. Check airline prices from your capital city. I recommend you use a travel agent - and travel insurance is essential. Finally I make mistakes like all of us. Check websites to confirm details.
