Peak season:

July through August is Brisbane’s peak tourist season, but you may want to consider taking a cheap flight to Brisbane from June through November if you’re keen on doing some whale watching. Although the weather is hot and sunny year-round in Brisbane, traveling here during the peak season may see you paying more for flights and accommodation, so do keep your itinerary in mind before booking your flights.

Off season:

Between the months of December and February, Brisbane gets quite humid, but it’s nothing that South Africans can’t handle. Flying to Brisbane during this “off season” can be a great way to help you save on airfare and accommodation costs.

I like the polite and friendly air crew. Boarding from the aircrew was fine and orderly, however the Changi gate staff were disorderly and chaotic. I found the economy seating was way too small for a full service airline. It seems about the same size now as the budget carriers and I’m not sure if the value for money is there anymore. The saving grace with that is the generous baggage allowance. Our Singapore Darwin leg was on a 737-800, a small plane for an almost 5 hour journey. As was the case on our Darwin Singapore leg, the flight was full. So it was quite hot and unpleasant for the hour extra we had to wait on the runway before we actually took off. Total time in that cramped seat was close to 6hrs and no way of sleeping even with the fatigue of our 12.5hr Munich Singapore flight preceding it. I love Singapore Airlines and value our sole full service direct connection from Darwin, but we paid a lot of money for the cheap seats and it appears that the airline has slipped since we last flew with them in 2019.
