Peak season:
Southern Australia has its peak tourist season from late December through the end of January. This marks the height of summer, which also means that flight prices are at their most expensive, which means that if you’re planning on visiting Australia over this period, you’ll have to book your flight tickets and accommodation as far along in advance as possible. On the other hand, Northern Australia has its peak season over the period of June through August, since temperatures tend to be warmer in the north during these months.
Off season:
Generally speaking, you should be able to score a cheap flight deal to Australia’s southern parts, which include Sydney and Melbourne, if you book your flights from late April through early May, which is when the south has its colder winter months. Cities such as Kimberly and North Queensland get hotter and more humid during the winter months than the cities of southern Australia. If you’re looking at visiting the warmer parts of the country during their off season, just make sure that you book your flights well in advance to avoid overpaying for late bookings.
As one of the world’s premier travel destinations, Australia boasts some of the best attractions for tourists.

Take all of that and then mix it up with locals that radiate a passion for life: you’ve got quite a few brilliant reasons why people don’t want to leave the Land Down Under. By taking a cheap flight to Australia, you’re guaranteed to find something you’ll fall in love with, whether it’s your first time visiting the country, or whether you’re starting out a brand new love affair!
