When to Book Flights to Australia
Australia is truly the land down under. Located in the southern hemisphere, it enjoys its summer during the US winter. As a result, flights to Australia tend to rise in price between November and the start of March.
In northern states – like Queensland – the warm weather rarely stops. Here the mercury never drops much below 70˚F during the day at any time of year. So, you can grab that sun without paying the hottest prices.
In southern parts of the country, the months of June, July and August can be a little cooler but so are the airfares.
For moderate temperatures, quiet beaches and a good choice of flights to Australia from American airports, consider planning your trip in spring or fall when conditions are often at their most pleasant.
How to Find the Best Flight Deals to Australia
If you’re currently hunting for great value tickets to Australia, Orbitz can help you track them down.
Choose ‘Nearby Airports’ to see flights to and from other destinations close to your suggested departure and arrival points. You can often grab a great deal by flying to or from an alternative location.
Check if connecting flights can get you there cheaper than direct flights – often a non-direct flight adds little to your overall flight time. You can also use the advanced options to search for non-refundable flights: these are typically cheaper.
Try comparing prices on different days around your chosen dates. Click the ‘My dates are flexible’ tick box to discover the cheapest flights across a range of days.
Main Airports in Australia
Most major cities in Australia have an international airport so finding flights to your chosen destination should be pretty easy. Indeed, you don’t have to fly in and out of the same airport – multi-city flights can also unearth some cheaper fares.
The busiest international airports in Australia are Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, however many smaller cities also have domestic air terminals.

Places to Visit in Australia
Queensland
The home of the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef also boasts an average of 300 sunny days a year. There’s arts and culture in Brisbane or rainforests and wildlife in Cairns.
Sydney
Australia’s oldest city never shows its age: contemporary dining, culture and nightlife all take place close to beaches and the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
Perth
Over on the west coast, the laid-back city of Perth mixes skyscrapers, scuba, surfing and sandy beaches with effortless aplomb. Nearby Fremantle boasts Aboriginal crafts and at the Darling Range you can hike to the oldest rocks on our planet.
Melbourne
The good life here consists of fashion, food, entertainment, nightlife and some high-profile sports events, such as the Australian Open and Melbourne Cup.
Tips for Traveling in Australia
Visitors to Australia need a visa. Although Tourist Visas are usually issued within 24 hours, it can take longer. If you don’t have a visa you won’t be allowed to board your flight.
Be sure to ask about multi-day passes and smartcard systems for transport in Australian cities. These make using public transport easier and a lot cheaper.
