You’d have to be living under a rock if you didn’t know that End of Financial Year (EOFY) sales have been dropping like crazy all month. And now with June 30 just a stone’s throw away, our favourite airlines, cruises, hotels and travel brands have blessed us with insane sales that’ll make you double-take.
While we don’t need much convincing to book a holiday…a good sale will most definitely seal the deal. If you need inspo for your next trip, why not book yourself into a last-minute cruise with My Cruises? You can get an extra $1000 off select last-minute fly, stay, and cruise holiday packages across Asia, Europe, and beyond. The savings are huge. And since these packages are already heavily discounted to begin with? We’re sold. If you needed a sign to book that AL in, this is it.
Cruises aren’t for everyone; we get it. So if you’d rather be spending time sipping a cocktail with your feet dangling in an overwater bungalow (who wouldn’t), then surely an all-inclusive Maldives holiday package will tick all the boxes.
And you can start packing the swimmers, because Luxury Escapes has done it again. You can save 66 per cent off this Meyyafushi Maldives & Flights package that includes not only your direct return flight tickets from Sydney (an exclusive Luxury Escapes private charter flight, FYI), but also return seaplane transfers from Male, all-inclusive dining and drinks, as well as five nights in a brand-new luxury bungalow resort.
If Hong Kong has been on your travel bucket list since…forever, then now’s the time to bite the bullet and book your tickets. Transport yourself to the land of egg tarts with $80 off return flights with Cathay Pacific.
Love it when someone else plans your holiday itinerary for you? Then you’re in luck. Inspiring Vacations is currently doing a limited-time sale where you can save 40 per cent off 40 specific tours. But get in quick; a little birdie tells me this one won’t stay long.
Once you’re done booking that well-deserved trip, it’s time to ensure you’re well stocked up on all the travel essentials. EOFY sales are the best time to invest in a quality suitcase without breaking the bank. Cult faves from Samsonite, American Tourister, and Antler are all 50 per cent off. And just quietly, I have my eye on the Samsonite OC2Lite in the gorgeous olive green hue, which is only $232.50 (down from $465).
Noise-cancelling headphones are a non-negotiable for me, and if you’re after a good rec – I’ve been using the Sony WH1000MX5 for the past couple of years on all my long-haul flights, and it’s been a dream. Super comfy, excellent noise-cancelling tech, and amazing battery life. They’re also $130 off at JB Hi-Fi, too. The Bose QuietComfort headphones are also a great pick, and since I’ve been covering EOFY for several years now, I’ve noticed that they’re actually $30.95 cheaper at Myer this year than they were last year during the same sale period. Grab them for just $299 (down from $549.95).

While sales on flights may not occur as often as we’d like – EOFY is a popular time for airlines to drop fares significantly in order to reset for the next financial year. That’s why savvy travellers will plan ahead and jump on flight sales early to their dream destinations during EOFY.
Do airlines have EOFY sales?
If it wasn’t obvious enough – yes. Airlines definitely partake in EOFY sales. Airlines generally run promotions from early June until July, and historically, airlines, hotels, and travel brands offer huge discounts that are hard to resist.
How long do EOFY sales last?
While the EOFY is officially June 30, it means sales start as early as the beginning of June. Typically sales are meant to end before or on June 30, however, many do run until mid to end of July. Nonetheless, we’d recommend jumping on these sales early to avoid missing out.
