£10 flights to Australia from Dublin Airport offered by travel company

A new travel initiative to attract workers to Australia could see adults able to travel across the world for only £10.

The South Australian Tourism Commission has launched the campaign in a bid to entice younger people to visit the region on working holiday visas to help fill employment gaps and boost tourism.

From April 26, adults can register online for a chance to get their hands on the £10 return flights this summer.

Qatar Airways will offer 200 discounted return flights to Adelaide from Dublin, Manchester, Heathrow or Edinburgh - reminiscent of the mass migration scheme launched in 1945 known as the "ten pound poms".

Travellers must be aged between 18 and 30 in the UK or 18 and 35 in Ireland, prove they have a working holiday visa and be able to travel to Adelaide before September 30, 2022

According to Trailfinders, you could find yourself working in a world-class winery or in one of Adelaide’s newest hotels or further afield, mustering on a cattle station, a cameleer assistant or working in a classic outback pub.

Airfares must be purchased with an Adelaide Starter Package from Trailfinders and you must register on their website here.

South Australian Minister for Tourism Zoe Bettison said: “South Australia is welcoming the return of working holidaymakers – it’s a real win-win for young people eager to travel and work abroad, and for our local tourism industry.

"Our tourism operators have missed having international visitors on their tours and experiences and booking up accommodation, and they’ve also missed the backpacker workforce and the vibrancy they bring."
