Finding good flights to Australia

From October to June is the best period to visit the southern part of Australia and cities like Melbourne, Adelaide, or Sydney may get quite busy. June-September is definitely the best time for getting good flight deals. But again it depends where you are heading to. In tropical Australia, the northern part of Australia, it gets very busy during these months and therefore it will be difficult to find good flights to Australia especially to the Northern part of the country.

December and Christmas time is definitely too busy and therefore it is better to avoid travelling australia during this time. If you wish to visit Australia during this period of the year then make sure you book a long time ahead in order to get a fair good flight price. I highly recommend to visit Australia during a more relaxed time of the year such as March-April, or September-October.

Flights to Australia: choosing the airline

Among the several flight airlines there are a few which get the best recommendation from travellers, for being "good value for money", as well as offering great service and comfort onboard. You can view this list here below where you can find good flight deals to Australia:

Emirates
Qantas

Air New Zeland

Malaysia Airlines

Emirates is the airline company that, in my opinion, offers the best fligth deals from Europe. Last year I was enthusiastic when I got to know that Emirates offered flights to Melbourne directly from Venice, via Dubai. In terms of value for money I do not think there are airlines that can beat Emirates from Europe. The great advantage is the daily offer of Emirates flights to Australia from over 30 destinations in Europe with the stop-over night option in Dubai. You can read more about my flight with Emirates on the Blog Page.

Qantas also known as "the flying kangaroo", is the airline that offer good value flights deals to Australia in terms of flexibility and variety of choice but apparently according to a travellers survey outcome on this arline the opinion about Qantas is divided into excellent feedback and less good ones. I have only used Qantas for my domestic flights within Australia and my experience on these flights was excellent.  At this page you can view all Special Flight Offers to Australia.

Singapore Airlines is among all airlines companies flyiing to Australia one of the most known for its service and quality flights to Australia. I personally flew a couple of times and I was very happy with the flights from Europe to Australia. At this page you can learn more about 

Another good airline company offering great flight deals to Australia is Royal Brunei, they fly from Frankfurt and London to different destinations in Australia.
