You can feel it in the air. Summer’s over, it’s getting colder at an alarming rate, and before too long, you’re going to feel an insatiable need for a tropical island.

We suggest Qantas Vacations’ Early Bird Deals, a set of eye-popping priced South Pacific getaways, booking now for well-timed wintry getaways through March.

Since you’re booking before the midwinter rush, Qantas Vacations can whisk you away to white sand beaches for a whole lot less than usual, leaving you to spend the spare money on an upgraded suite, an extra day of island living or a particularly large piña colada. In the meantime, you’re free to explore the paradise of sun-drenched beaches and turquoise oceans known as the South Pacific. Qantas Vacations will even set you up with a hotel on your island of choice, which means all you’ll have to worry about is the state of your surfing skills.

Book now and you can get airfare and hotel to Fiji, Tahiti, Australia or New Zealand from $799 per person…
