Qantas has a Fly Away Sale to Noumea until the end of 24 June, with around a 25% and 35% discount on regular Economy and Business Class prices respectively and good availability, including the September-October 2016 and April 2017 school holidays.
A nifty bonus of buying a Business Class ticket for Sydney-Noumea return is that it will net you 120 Qantas Status Credits, with Melbourne-Sydney-Noumea return getting you 200 SCs, which would have you nearly a third of your your way to Gold status (which requires 700 SCs to qualify and 600 SCs to maintain).
New Caledonia is surrounded by the world’s largest lagoon and second longest coral reef, and has the third largest population of dugongs in the world
