Absolutely Affordable Australia

With flights starting at less than $400 each way, the Land Down Under is more accessible -- and affordable -- than it's been in recent years. Especially for those on the West Coast.

The fun-loving nation that brought the world Vegemite sandwiches and Hugh Jackman is luring U.S. travelers to its captivating cities and natural wonders with deals for travel through June.

Those who can pack their bags in the next few months will be able to take advantage of Australia's summer (November-March). Just remember that SPF, mate.

Note: Travelers can apply online for an Australian Visa, which is a requirement to enter the country.
