It's never too early to start thinking about your next European trip, and with Etihad Airways dropping a Euro sale now's prime time to book a bargain.

Airfares have plummeted as low as $1301 return. That's for flights to Milan. Other destinations on the chopping block include Barcelona from $1349 return, Rome from $1383 return and Paris from $1471 return. Flights take off from either Sydney or Melbourne and feature a mix of last-minute fares for travel in October and November and trips February and March 2026.

Speaking of Melbourne, frequent flyers will be happy to hear that Lotte Duty Free has amped up your earn rate at their newly revamped Melbourne Airport Arrivals store. Until October 31, when you shop online you'll earn 10 points per $1 spent on eligible purchases.

Now, if warmer places are on the cards, Luxury Escapes has a smattering of discounted stays in Dubai, Maldives and Bali - including a few Lux List 2025 Nominees to really make your holiday sing. Of your options, the One&Only Royal Mirage in Dubai is a stunner that overlooks the Palm Jumeirah, and at up to 70 per cent off it'll set you back just $1429 per room for three nights.

To pop a cherry, the newly opened dusitD2 Feydhoo Maldives is up to 67 per cent off and is an all-inclusive paradise of beachfront and overwater villas that start from just $4369 per room for five nights. If that's a little steep however, Luxury Escapes also has all-inclusive stays at Aksari Luxury Resort & Spa Ubud down to $959 per suite for three nights.

With your destination sorted it's time to think about your next big purchase: luggage. That's where Samsonite is shining right now. They've got a very generous spend and save offer which sees you shave 30 per cent off your purchase when you spend at least $149. They've also got a stack of bags on clearance to complete your travel kit.

Not to be outdone, American Tourister has likewise dropped a spend and save deal. The discounts here run higher (but so does the minimum spend) with 40 per cent off when you spend $250. Or, you can still grab 30 per cent off when you spend $100.

Finally, because airport water is always overpriced, this is your friendly reminder to pop a water bottle in your carry-on. Memobottle for example has 15 per cent off with the code ESCAPE15. They also have 50 per cent off accessories with every original or stainless steel bottle purchase, and Ever Vessel is giving you a free set of whisk balls with every bottle purchase when you use the code GetaPair.
