Bargain of the week
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Or should that be "Bargain of the Year"? From this morning, British Airways and Qantas are selling flights to Australia at an absurdly low fare, given all the stopover possibilities.
The deal is on offer for travelling out in April May or June, and returning by the end of July. To Brisbane, Cairns, Melbourne or Sydney, you pay pounds 699 plus tax - a fairly typical low-season fare for quality airlines. But in an act of spectacular generosity, the two airlines are offering stopovers in Africa or north east Asia.
The choice on the outbound leg is between Bangkok or Singapore, but on the way back you get to chose from Osaka, Peking, Seoul or Tokyo in Asia; in Africa, the Zimbabwean capital Harare or Johannesburg in South Africa. You can book through any agent, or either airline; the fastest response yesterday was from Qantas on 0345 747767. Bookings must be made by 8 April.
