Return Airfares to South America from Only A$1665 Including Taxes
The falling value of the Aussie dollar has made many countries too expensive for many eager holidaymakers but South America – where a cup of coffee can cost just 69 cents – remains one of the best-value destinations around.
Keen to get budget-challenged Australians back in the sky, online travel agent, Direct Flights International, is offering discounted airfares to Chile and Argentina so Australians can save big time on a holiday abroad.
• Direct Flights has return fares from Sydney to Santiago in Chile and Buenos Aires in Argentina with Lan Chile Airlines from A$1665. The discount fares are on sale until January 30, 2009, for travel from February 2-November 30, 2009.* Bookings are available on www.directflights.com.au.
Direct Flights customers can also reserve onward flights in South America, accommodation, transfers, car hire, tours and attractions while booking their flights online. Travel booked with Direct Flights is also free of any extra booking fees.
In Santiago, a cup of coffee costs around 300 Chilean pesos, or just 69 Australian cents. A can of local beer is even cheaper, averaging the equivalent of 46 Australian cents and a three-course dinner will set you back just A$16. Meanwhile in Buenos Aires – the ‘Paris of the South’, prices are nowhere near as steep as those in the Paris ‘of the north’, with a cup of coffee costing 3.25 Argentinian pesos, or A$1.48 while a can of local beer retails for 69 Australian cents and a three-course meal averages only A$26. **
Based in Australia, Direct Flights also offers a unique, flexible payment system, with a credit card just one of six methods of payment. Other online and offline methods include POLi (Pay OnLine), Australia Post Billpay, bank cheque and Direct Deposit.
