In a take on the term "10 pound Pom" - originally coined to describe British citizens who migrated to Australia after World War II - the scheme will allow Brits to travel Down Under for just STG10 ($A20.42).The move to boost the tourism industry will see 150 Qantas tickets to Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane or Adelaide available for anyone with a valid Working Holiday Visa. Travellers will be able to return home whenever they wish.
The limited tickets will be available from STA Travel outlets across the UK on August 5 on a first-come, first-served basis. The fare is available for departures between August 15 and September 30 and November 1 to 30.
Would-be travellers are being encouraged to camp out for the tax-inclusive tickets, which are expected to be snapped up within hours. Those who miss out will be offered special Qantas return airfares at STG679 ($A1,386.56).
STA Travel group managing director John Constable said people were looking for good value holidays in the current climate. (au.news.yahoo)
