It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year and plans are hastily being made for many a trip overseas for the holidays. With peak season around the corner, international flights for Christmas and New Year’s will inevitably sell out fast.
So, if you’re looking to snap up the best business-class deals, it’s worth booking in sooner rather than later. Whether you’re jetting off to the city of love or looking forward to boating around the markets on a Bangkok adventure, we’ve found the best Christmas business-class deals leaving from Sydney to make sure you arrive in luxurious comfort.
Singapore

From bustling street markets selling delicious local hawker food to fun cocktails served at luxe rooftop bars, Singapore has something for everyone.

Well worth an extended stopover, a few weeks in Singapore around Christmas is best for those keen to nab stress-free business class deals.

Rome
Airline: Qantas Business Class, British Airways Business Class
Depart: Between November 15, 2022 and November 3, 2023
Price: A$10,600 – A$12,600
There are two types of people who like to visit Rome: one of them likes to enjoy the continental spread put on in their hotel for breakfast, and the other likes a quick walk down to the street to enjoy the hustle and bustle and a rich Italian coffee at the espresso bar.
Cobblestone streets mix with ancient architecture to give the city a uniquely energetic buzz perfectly suited to its vivacious residents. Make sure you arrive in Rome well-rested on a Qantas business class flight onboard a spacious A380 to London. Once landed, there’s a short stopover and then a business class flight on British Airways to take you to the Italian capital in just under three hours.

Bangkok
Airline: Qantas Business Class
Depart: Between Nov 15 2022 and Nov 3, 2023
Price: A$4,300 – A$6,300
There’s nowhere on Earth like Bangkok, one of South-East Asia’s most central and well-connected cities. A quick flight, drive or train ride takes you to tropical white sandy beaches in the south and mountain villages in the north, or you could stick around to experience floating markets and gorgeous temples in Thailand’s capital.
The city never sleeps and residents are friendly. Just be careful not to hire a deceptively powerful motorcycle as the locals make weaving through heavy traffic look way too easy. Direct flights from Sydney to Bangkok take around nine and a half hours and Qantas’ lie-flat bed makes it easy to catch some sleep before you arrive.

Los Angeles is one of the most recognisable cities in the world and for good reason.
