FAQs - booking Australia flights

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from Australia to Australia?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from Australia to Australia.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from Australia to Australia?

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

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from Australia to Australia?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional return ticket. You could then fly from Australia to Australia with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from Australia to Australia?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying from Australia to Australia up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

  • What is the cheapest day to fly to Australia?

    Based on KAYAK data, the cheapest day to fly to Australia is Saturday when return tickets can be as cheap as $350. On the other hand, the most expensive day to fly is Monday, when return prices are $428 on average.

  • To visit the southern region of the country, such as the cities of Adelaide or Mount Gambier, there are many airports that you can opt to fly to, including Adelaide Airport (ADL) and Port Augusta Airport (PUG).
  • For those that will be spending time in the state of Queensland, you will find that one of the most convenient airports to travel to is Brisbane Airport (BNE), an option that is within easy driving distance of many popular cities, including Logan City and the Gold Coast.
  • When travelling to the interior of the country, there are several airports to choose from, including Charleville Airport (CTL). Keep in mind that not all airports offer flights to the centre of Australia, so you may find that it is easiest having a stopover in a major city, such as Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane.
  • 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).
  • If you want to visit Cataract Gorge Reserve in Tasmania, the most convenient airport to fly into is Launceston Airport (LST). From here, the drive out to Cataract Gorge Reserve is roughly 14 km.
  • Melbourne Tullamarine Airport (MEL) is a major hub for Qantas and Virgin Australia. These airlines also use Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) as a key hub, as does Australia’s other major carrier, Jetstar.

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

Our 6.30am flight was boarded then cancelled to fly at 10.55am . We were flying to Brisbane to attend a funeral at 12 noon an hour away . This means missing the funeral due to unreliability of Virgin . Unimpressed !!

It was with Link Airways and the Saab 340 jet was noisy and little comfort.

They didn’t sent my luggage I got it 24 hours later

Plane was late and they wouldn’t check our bags through to Tokyo

Overall experience was good but what really impressed me the most was the care the flight attendants took of a sick passenger who was sitting in front of me. The flight attendants would come and check on her quite regularly providing her support and comfort. Brilliant service!

Only answered OK and poor as there was no entertainment and I didnt have any food

4.5 hr international flight. We got a glass of water. Ranks up there with Ryan Air, Easy Jet, Spirit and Frontier. Expected better.

Gluten free options less explicit on business class, but great service

Very good… seems the virgin staff particularly in the lounge and in flight exceeded expectations.

I liked everything about the experience but would have liked some free snacks!

Flight was canceled. I was not alerted. It was only kayak that alerted me

Flight was 2.5 hours late leaving. We spent 50 minutes of that sitting on the plane with no explanation. They did reduce the time in the air so we arrived a little less late which was something. The cheese and crackers were okay but the wine was terrible.

Excellent as always, I won't fly to Australia, and back to the US on any other airline. The flight crew is always top notch, and have a way to make one feel extra special. Thank you for your service, I would rate Qantas Airways a 10+.

A few more inches of legroom is all i ask

Business class points redemption - good value for points paid, dubious value if out of your own pocket, domestic class business product okay for this length of flight. The flight left and arrived on time, crew were good, aircraft was a bit old and tired, but still miles ahead of their competitors in Virgin and Jetstar.

Airline running better than post Covid, proper boarding process now implemented, some aircraft feeling a bit old and tired, crew fine, online experience better.

Five hour flight instead of four hours due to westerly headwinds which wasn’t the fault of Qantas !

The wifi was out. Otherwise it was great flight. Richard, as CSM, was excellent.

Was bumped to a later flight because of inefficiency on part of the airline.

The Emerits/Qantas flight was cancelled to Wellington. We need a refund. Had to buy another airline ticket. How do we get the refund. Still not in Wellington.

Flight was delayed both directions but once in the air was ok. Boarding out of Melbourne is just a mess.

Although a local trip via international flight it was fairly straight forward albeit more checks than desirable for local travel. On arrival Perth collecting luggage the trollies were hidden in one end of the long hall.

80 minute delay on departure based on two no show pax; removal of checked bags. Boarding very awkward, and waiting in terminal until specific rows called (not zones). Overhead not used for boarding, but specific staff member notifying people at the top of the stairs. Numerous people noted "this is confusing" on boarding. Seats ok, but entertainment (and food, and seat selection) all at extra cost. Smooth flight, and friendly neighbours.

Over four hours late. No entertainment without paying and same for food. Asked to check in at original time even though we were told it was going to be very late leaving. Way too long time to hang around the airport. Arriving to Sydney luggage did not arrive for an hour. Had to get staff to go and find out what was going on. All this made for a very long day and night for a eight hour flight.

I was disappointed to find that the QR code for purchasing in-flight entertainment did not function, leaving me without access to the amenities I had anticipated. (both flights)

I had opted to pay extra for a ticket on Jetstar A321-Neo in the first row, believing it would enhance my travel experience. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The constant line-up for the toilet resulted in people frequently standing next to me, causing significant discomfort throughout the flight. It was difficult to relax with the persistent disturbance from passengers bumping into my seat. Furthermore, I was disappointed to find that the QR code for purchasing in-flight entertainment did not function, leaving me without access to the amenities I had anticipated. Given these circumstances, I will not be purchasing seats in the first two rows in the future, nor will I choose to fly with your airline again.

Jet star delayed both trips with poor communication. Passengers were made to change gates often and then left to stand with no seating. As someone getting over surgery this was very trying.

Delayed twice. Poor communication and people made to change gates too often.

Very disappointed with my recent Jetstar experience. Firstly, it was extremely frustrating that we had to pay extra for basic things like in-flight entertainment and meals. Other airlines provide these essentials even with standard tickets, but Jetstar offered no comfort or amenities without additional charges. For a long international journey, this made the experience very uncomfortable. On top of that, there was a delay on our flight from Melbourne to Bangkok due to parts replacement, which was already inconvenient. But the biggest issue was the massive 5 hours and 15 minutes delay on our return flight, which completely disrupted our plans, caused unnecessary stress, and impacted both our time and health. Jetstar provided vouchers, but they were not nearly sufficient to cover proper meals or any meaningful service at Bangkok Airport. After such a long delay, this felt extremely inadequate and did not compensate for the inconvenience we faced. Overall, this has been one of my worst travel experiences. I am extremely disappointed and will not be booking with Jetstar in the future. I strongly request Jetstar to provide additional compensation for the significant delays and the discomfort we had to go through.
