Cathay Pacific offers special fares from London Heathrow to Australia, New Zealand and Fiji

Cathay Pacific has launched a fare sale for travel from London Heathrow (via Hong Kong) for travel to Australia (Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Sydney and Melbourne), New Zealand and Fiji.

There are sale offers for both economy and business class. However, not all destinations are on offer in economy.

Bookings must be made by 17 March 2015 for travel between 13 April and 12 May 2015 in economy and 1 April 2015 and 31 May 2016 in business class. There are also minimum and maximum stay requirements.

Bookings are non-refundable but can be changed for a fee.

The economy fares do look very good value from £531. The business class fares less so from £3,909 for travel from London. It should be noted that business class fares are substantially cheaper travelling from Manchester.

Here are full details of the economy class and business class fares.
