Need a Car For After Your Flight?

Australia is a paradise and a business hub for any families, corporate big-wigs, or solo adventurers on a budget.

Some of the major airports serving flights to Australia are in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Cairns. Each airport is unique in its own special way. Sydney Airport (SYD) is the international airport in Australia while Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Cairns airports are all domestic. SYD is the busiest airport in Australia but it has tons of conveniences such as eateries, Wi-Fi, discounted shopping, and multiple methods of transportation both within the airport and outside the airport. The airports are all located within the cities so any destination is just a quick taxi, train, bus or rental car ride as soon as Australia flights arrive.

Once Australia flights arrive, you will notice that the weather is absolutely beautiful and the average high on the coast is 78 degrees Fahrenheit and the low is 62. There is the rainy season which falls between May to August and the dry season which is from September to April, so sunblock as well as a trusty hat is always required because of the intensity of the sun. Those looking for a hot holiday vacation of fun in the sun book Australia flights in every season of the year.

Australia has many different low cost methods of transportation. Trains like the Queensland Railways are a wonderful way to see parts of Australia, traveling along the beautiful coast. NSW buses, ferries, and trams are a great way to get around Sydney quickly and safely, and will connect you to any of the landmarks you want to see. Passengers arriving on flights to Australia will find the T2 and T3 lines providing direct pathways to and from the airport in Sydney.

Australia is a relaxing and friendly vacation destination where you can lay back and have a drink or sightsee—there is something for visitors of all ages as well as discounts on events.

  • Sydney Opera House: overlooking the beautiful Sydney Harbor, the unofficial symbol of the city
  • Ayers Rock: a sacred landmark of the Aborigines that is also the largest monolith in the world
  • The Great Barrier Reef: the world’s largest mass of living organisms can be seen from space
  • Queensland: The Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees latitude South of the equator does not experience any seasonal change
  • Gold Coast: surfing competitions are held on a regular basis and a nightlife that never ends

How much is a flight to Australia?

How to book the cheapest flight to Australia?
With some of the most impressive flight deals around, you’re guaranteed value for money with Orbitz. The following useful tips will help you snap up cheap flights to Australia — and leave you with more money to play with:

  • Consider nearby airports to cut costs. Enter your preferred departure and arrival airports in the form fields, then select the ‘Nearby airports’ function below. It will list any available options.
  • If your travel plans aren’t carved in stone, click on the ‘Show flexible dates’ link to view the flight deals for a variety of departure dates. Go with any suitable cheaper fare that pops up.
  • You can also use the ‘Show options’ function to filter results for your preferred carrier, seating class, nonstop flights and refundable flights. Under ‘Sort & Filter’ to the left, you can even pick the time of day you’d prefer to fly.
  • Once you’ve worked out your travel dates, get booking. Prices generally climb as the departure date gets closer.
  • Save loads on your vacation by bundling your flights, hotels and car rentals into a package. Your credit card will thank you for it.
  • Don’t fly during peak seasons if you can. By avoiding school vacations and summer, you can make superb savings on your airfare.

What is the best time to book a flight to Australia?
On average, the cheapest month to purchase a plane ticket is in January. This is followed by February and August. When seeking a cheap flight to Australia, it’s worth being ready to book. Cheap deals appear quickly and don’t wait around!
What day of the week is the cheapest to book a flight to Australia?
To pick up a rewarding flight deal, book on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday. These are typically the cheapest days to book tickets to Australia.
What is the cheapest day of the week to fly to Australia?
Look into flying early in the week if you want to get cheap flights to Australia. Orbitz data from 2020 indicates Monday is normally the most inexpensive day to head off, followed by Tuesday. Saturday was found to have the highest ticket prices. Presumably, this is because most travelers prefer to begin their escape after a long working week.
What is the cheapest month to fly to Australia?
If you’re flexible with your travel plans, consider jetting off in August. Orbitz data shows that this is generally the best month to fly out if you’re after cheap flights to Australia. As you would expect, airfares get pricier in June and flights book out fast.
Which airlines allow free cancellation?
Flexibility is important, that’s why Orbitz lets you search for airlines that won’t slap on fees for making amendments. Enter your departure and arrival points, then choose “Filter by flexible change policies.” We’ll show you options that include free cancellation within 24 hours of booking and no change fees.
What do I need for the flight to Australia?
A long-haul trip can seem daunting, but it’s nothing a little preparation can’t fix. We’ve rounded up our top tips and tricks to make sure your journey is a smooth one:

  • Nothing is more important than having your travel documents. Which to bring and how many depend on whether you’re flying international or domestic. Be sure to double check with your airline. In both cases, you’ll need to show photo identification.
  • If you’re jetting directly to Australia, chances are you’ll be in the sky for quite some time. Take plenty of snacks and things to keep you busy. Now is a good time to get stuck into that book you’ve been dying to read!
  • Cabin temperatures can go from hot to cold quickly, so it’s best to bring an extra layer. Also consider wearing compression socks. They can help prevent swelling and improve blood circulation.

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Australia?
Smart travelers have a knack for finding business or first-class fares to Australia that don’t cost an arm and a leg. Follow their lead with these practical tips:

  • Be flexible with your travel dates and wait for huge sales on business or first-class airfares.
  • Plenty of low-cost airlines nowadays offer excellent business-class seating without the pricey fees.
  • Bid for an upgrade. Some carriers hold online auctions that let you put down a price for a seat at the front of the plane. You can also try upgrading with points earned through a rewards program.

Travel tips for Australia

  • The possibilities for adventure in Australia are endless — and Sydney Opera House is just one place you’ll find it. Book a car rental, work out how to get to this impressive attraction and then get moving!
  • One of Australia’s most sought-after cities, Sydney is the perfect place to begin an epic road trip around this region. Eat, sleep, adventure and repeat — that’s what vacations are for!
