Author: In the past year, more air carrier routes and never-ending promotions and special sales increased the availability of cheap flights to Australia from the continental US and Canada. If you start your trip in the low season — May 1 through early June and mid-July through September 23 — flights to Australia are available at extremely low prices. The most expensive time to find flights to Australia is around the year-end holidays.
Australia is as large as the continental United States and like the US, each of Australia’s regions offers a distinct and exciting experience.
Begin in Brisbane
If diving on the Great Barrier Reef, surfing on the Gold Coast, hiking through one of the world’s oldest rainforests or sailing around the Whitsunday Islands is your dream, choose cheap flights to Brisbane, less than a 14 hour flight from Los Angeles.
Brisbane is the gateway to Australia’s sunshine state — Queensland, where the weather is beautiful one day and perfect the next. When the cheapest flights to Australia are available and the temperature in southern Australia is a bit nippy, you’ll find it warm and sunny in Queensland.
Start your adventure in Melbourne
With cheap flights to Australia, you can uncover amazing things to do in Melbourne, a vibrant city and the capital of Victoria. Mingle with the locals at an Aussie Rules football game and join in the celebrations after the game. Explore the maritime history and scenic beauty of the Great Ocean Road all the way to Adelaide, with stops to sample the fruits of the vine along the way. Spend a day on Phillip Island with koalas, fur seals, and luscious chocolate, before joining the nightly parade of little penguins as they return home from the sea.
Stroll through Melbourne’s many alleyways in search of hidden treasures to tempt your tastebuds. Enjoy the complementary tram to see the city’s main sites, and go back in time to take the place of a notorious outlaw in the Olde Goal (prison).
See the sights in Sydney
Sophisticated, cosmopolitan Sydney is the most popular city in Australia. Enjoy some of the endless things to do in Sydney: Savor the fantastic views of the city from the top of the Harbour Bridge, or while enjoying champagne and nibbles aboard a yacht cruising the bay. Learn to surf on Bondi Beach – or lay back and watch the surfers from the comfort of a seaside restaurant. Grab a bicycle to uncover the treasures off the tourist tracks; hear a symphony at the Opera House or tour backstage before the action begins.
Leave the city to walkabout the Blue Mountains for awesome views and hikes surrounded in a blue haze; or head out to Australia’s oldest wine growing region for tastings of wine, beer, cheese and chocolate. Sit on a porch in a vineyard and watch the roos mingle with the vines – or enjoy a sundowner at a sky high restaurant to see the city’s twinkling lights.
When you find your cheap flights to Australia online, you’ll save money and be able to see more of this amazing country on your vacation.
