FAQs - booking Australia flights

  • Which airport is closest to the Meehan Range?

    If you’ll be heading to Tasmania's Meehan Range to explore the mountain biking trails or enjoy some hiking or horseback riding, the best airport to fly into is Hobart International Airport (HBA). Unless you’re flying from Auckland, New Zealand, you will likely have at least one stop, in Sydney or Melbourne, before you reach Hobart.

  • Which Australian airport should I fly into if I want to visit Byron Bay?

    If you want to arrive as close as possible to Byron Bay, look for flights landing at Ballina Byron Gateway Airport (BNK). If you’ll be hiring a vehicle and are interested in exploring the coast of New South Wales, you may prefer to fly into Sydney Airport and pick up your car there. You can spend a few days exploring the coastal towns, national parks and isolated beaches on the stretch between Sydney and Byron Bay at your own pace.

  • Do kids need to use child car seats for the drive to and from the airport in Australia?

    Regardless of whether you’re driving yourself, taking a taxi or using a ride-share provider, all kids under the age of seven require a child car seat or booster. To accommodate for this, Australia’s major airlines generally don’t count child car seats as part of your checked luggage limit. However, you need to contact your airline if you want to bring a car seat or pram, as they have limited space and will need to account for it when loading the plane.

  • Which airport is convenient for visiting Rottnest Island?

    If you want to explore the pristine beaches of Rottnest Island and meet the island’s famous quokka population, consider flying into Perth Airport (PER). While it is a smaller airport than Sydney and Melbourne, it receives plenty of international flights, including direct flights from London, Seoul, Dubai and other cities around the world. Rottnest Island lies just off the coast of Perth.

  • What is the most convenient airport for me to arrive at if I am planning on visiting Bondi Beach?

    If you are interested in visiting Bondi Beach to either surf, swim, or relax in the sun, the easiest airport for you to fly into is Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD), as it is approximately a 35min drive between the two locations.

  • What is the best airport to arrive at if I plan on visiting Kakadu National Park?

    When travelling to Kakadu National Park, you will find that Darwin International Airport (DRW) is closest. Once you have arrived at Darwin, you can then grab either a local bus or drive, both of which will take you approximately 1.5 to 2h.

  • I would like to go to Fraser Island. Where should I fly to?

    One of the easiest ways to get to Fraser Island is by flying into Hervey Bay Airport (HVB), a destination that serves the entire Fraser Coast region, as well as the city of Maryborough. Once you have landed, you can grab a local ferry that will take you directly to the island.

  • What are the most convenient airports to arrive at in Australia?

    For travellers that would like to visit several cities in Australia, it is best to fly into Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (SYD), as this is considered to be the largest travel hub in the country and provides many connections to other regions. Additionally, both Sydney and Melbourne are known for being two of the country’s most affordable cities to fly into.

  • How long is the flight to Australia?

    An average direct flight from Australia to Australia takes 2h 46m, covering a distance of 2354 km. The most popular route is Sydney - Melbourne with an average flight time of 1h 30m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to Australia?

    The cheapest ticket to Australia from Australia found in the last 72 hours was $35 one-way, and $84 round-trip. The most popular route is Sydney Kingsford Smith to Melbourne and the cheapest round-trip airline ticket found on this route in the last 72 hours was $102.

  • Which airlines fly to Australia?

  • How does KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a given destination and date is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

  • The northern part of Australia is primarily serviced by Darwin International Airport (DRW) and Alice Springs Airport (ASP), both of which offer flights to and from most major cities. If you would rather fly to a somewhat smaller destination, you can choose from options such as Groote Eylandt Airport (GTE) or Snake Bay Airport (SNB).

Boarding could be smoother but that's probably more to do with the airport infrastructure

Boarding could be smoother but that's probably more to do with the airport infrastructure

I liked the friendly team, the roomy comfortable seats, easy to use on flight entertainment, flights on time,

Personal kind attention to all.App was not spot on, but staff able to deal with any requests.Staff were legends !!

Fantastic staff and plane Only issue was flying out from terminal 2 at Perth nothing was open to get food or drink, we were there 3 hours early with 2 kids and not prepared to not be able to purchase food or drinks. Having self check in and bag drop would be wonderful too, as we had to wait for staff to arrive to check in despite checking in online the day before . Nothing major but would have made a great trip fantastic!

Enjoyed the comfort of the seats, slight delay to departure time but prompt takeoff and landing.

It asks about entertainment tho it’s not applicable. 10/10 for Rex 👌🏻

Not sure how to answer on the entertainment as there wasn’t any.. Comfort, I wasn’t comfortable as I was on the window side and a morbidly obese man sat in the middle and eased out into my space. I had sciatica so I wasn’t able to move much to get comfortable. Food wise I have a wheat allergy and asked if there was a gluten free option and was given a Byron bay cookie which was lovely tho it wasn’t wheat free. Not to worry. I wasn’t expecting there to be any appropriate snacks for me anyhow. The staff were very generous with the snacks and their concern for the passengers. The staff were amazing tho. Truly amazing ! One of the staff must have noticed my discomfort and helped me out to stand in the back of the plane to stretch which I really appreciated. I would fly with REX again without hesitation. Thank you very much. It was my first flight with you and I look forward to my return flight home on Tuesday. Best wishes to your company 👌🏻

All good, was a one hour flight so no food or entertainment which was expected

Rex is an underrated airline. Its my first time flying them and they were fantastic. the only things that annoyed me about my flight were things other passengers did so it was nothing i or REX could change

Really enjoyed flying with Rex the boarding and booking baggage on was easier than most. I will beat using Rex next time.

On time and a quick flight and staff vert good

The crew was very helpful to my family, especially when my daughter became sick during the flight. Will fly with them again.

Too many passengers are bringing on too many large items as part of carry on baggage where it should be checked in. This is not the fault of Qantas but the stupid mindset passengers have now about trying to bring anything and everything on as carry on luggage where it should be checked in.

Better than expected, normally I don't use this airline because they are too expensive for me, but if you can afford it, good on you, you won't regret it. Regards.

The flight was delayed over 2 hours. We had to wait on the plane and the air conditioning was turned off. The food was average and the cutlery was wooden!

Perfect. The flight was on time and the crew were very friendly and helpful.

Plane a little late departing, but not an issue. The pilots humour when he said “I will try to make up some time…. I know a few short cuts to Adelaide” made the passengers chuckle. This is what makes Qantas “Australian”.

I have never had a problem with flying Qantas, so this flight was the same as any other.

After British Airways cancelled my London to Sydney and Virgin Australia refused to refund, there was no ways I would try Virgin Australia again, so it was Qantas - what a good flight experience. So much easier to get off an international flight and get a local flight without having to add extra amounts for baggage

The plane was delayed about 3 hours so anything else is immaterial

It was so hot on the plane mixed with being quite turbulent and a rough landing. We all felt very nauseous for hours afterwards. Crew were lovely though.

I'll never transit from international through Sydney with Virgin until they improve the domestic transfer system. It's ridiculous that you have to take oversize baggage to the transfer desk to get it activated then struggle onto the shuttle bus (carrying a 25kg, 2m long ski bag and carry-on - along with about 6 others in the same situation) then negotiate the terminal and queue to put it onto the oversize receival bag drop.

For a red eye flight it is pretty uncomfortable. They provide nothing in the way of pillows, etc.

2 hrs + delay! Times kept changing, Onboard menu was half depleted, Entertainment wifi was N/A Overall very frustrating flight and I never slate Virgin.

Virgin Australia passed this flight onto Alliance, so my rating and comments are based on my experience with crew, aircraft and available options. Alliance only offers drinks which consisted of tea, coffee and water, free of charge. There was no on board entertainment. The aircraft seating although narrow accommodated my 6 foot 2 body with little discomfort.

When the flight is full out would be good to allow the use of the front toilet as well as the rear. Otherwise it was an uneventful flight.

When I made the booking I was not aware I had to book our checked baggage separately. As we had no checked luggage booking, I had to pay A$120 per bag (total 2 bags) so you can imagine I was not pleased. I am an experienced traveller so something needs to be done to improve the booking app,

Toasties not available (only GF option). Hot drinks not able to be served No usb charging port

Flight departed in time and arrived on time, no issues at all.

Boarding took place at the front and back. Weight of luggage was unclear and cost an arm and a leg.

The flight between Canberra and Coolongatta passed very quickly and was comfortable. The crew were very efficient and helpful. The boarding process is a bit slow and not done by rows. Overall, Virgin does a fairly good job.

The flight was over an hour late due to staff shortages and due to it being the last evening flight, I got back to Sydney very late

This was the most horrific experience we have ever had. I would advise people to steer clear of this airline at all costs.

Online checkin was a nightmare. They kept popping me into Chinese language site which I can't understand.

a constant reminder that you need to work harder so you can avoid this airline

For some reason the cabin was kept very cold. Unlike my flight over which i would say was excellent this was a long, cold flight home.

Note that food has to be purchased in flight. No free food. And no entertainment in flight. So I’ve treated these two items as okay which, in this case, means neutral/not applicable.

My Dad needed assistance to board the plane. The Jetstar staff were excellent with him and made the experience a lot easier😁

No food taken so can't rate also no entertainment so can't rate.

Boarding was easy and unstressful, though the early "final call" was a bit off-putting. The crew were pleasant, and the seats were comfortable. The prices for food and drink were reasonable, apart from tea and coffee, where simple percolated coffee was charged at espresso prices. Deboarding was OK, though some Jetstar passengers appear to have a bad habit of pushing forward from their assigned rows, making it more difficult to get out for passengers that have paid a premium to sit up-front. Jetstar might want to look to address this to stop it from spreading.

I got to the airport earlier than I expected, and they let me change to an earlier flight with no trouble.
