Your guide to booking Hobart flights

From booking to airport arrival, find tips to help you plan your flight with more confidence.
  • For the best chance at a low fare to Hobart, aim to book around 5 weeks before you fly. That window historically saves about 24% versus last-minute pricing based on KAYAK booking data over the last 12 months.
  • For flights to Hobart, recent KAYAK data shows that stronger deals tend to be around $215 return. If you see a fare below that threshold, it's a good deal – book before the price climbs back up.
  • If you can choose when to go, aim to travel to Hobart in January. Return fares historically average $249 that month – typically the cheapest month to travel based on the last 12 months.
  • Before you book:

    • Check the route's typical price range so you can spot a deal.
    • Confirm baggage fees and seat selection costs on budget carriers.
    • Verify whether you need any travel documents beyond an ID.
    • Pick a departure airport, since your nearest may not be the cheapest origin.
  • Shift your departure to afternoon to save up to $39 per return. Afternoon flights to Hobart average $310 compared to $350 for midday flights. See the time-of-day chart above for the full breakdown.
  • Bag allowances vary by airline, fare type, cabin class, and route. On flights to Hobart, some airlines may include bags at no extra cost. For example, Jetstar includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class, Virgin Australia includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class, and Qantas Airways includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class. Always check the fare details before booking, since bag policies can change by ticket type.
  • Once you arrive in Hobart, a few great places to start are Salamanca Place, Theatre Royal, and Playhouse Theatre. These are popular with first-time visitors and can give you a good feel for the area.
  • Hobart Airport (HBA) is located right beside one of Tasmania’s best beaches, Seven Mile Beach. Depending on the direction your plane approaches from, you may have a landing that feels as if you are about to land on the beach itself, with a fabulous view. Even if your plane approaches the runway from the other side, you will still experience a stunning view of the city and its surroundings.
  • Hobart Airport is one large building, and the arrivals area is one large hall with baggage claim at one end and the exits right in front. It is easy to navigate due to its small size and open design, but if you are in need of any assistance or directions, the staff are friendly and happy to help with local knowledge.
  • If you are leaving Hobart Airport with a hire car and are in need of any supplies for outdoor adventures, there is an industrial park on the way to the city, where you will find the store Anaconda, carrying gear for camping, hiking and outdoor activities. Just cross the roundabout to exit Hobart Airport instead of turning left onto the highway.
  • As Tasmania’s major airport, Hobart is the gateway to the rest of the island. Whether your destination is one of the national parks such as Cradle Mountain Lake, hiking the Three Capes Track or travelling on to one of the smaller islands such as Bruny Island or Port Arthur, you will be flying into Hobart Airport and using connecting transport from here.
  • One of the best ways to explore Hobart and Tasmania is by car. There are eight different car rental companies with an office at Hobart Airport, while others are based in Hobart city. You’ll find the registration counters in the terminal, near the arrivals area. When travelling into Hobart, the airport and city are linked with a dual-lane highway and the drive to the city esplanade takes only 20 minutes.
  • Hobart Airport is not very large but still offers opportunities to shop for gifts or duty-free. You can pick up souvenirs at Australian Way, whether you’re looking for toys, apparel, jewellery, postcards and magnets or authentic aboriginal products. For your duty-free shopping, & Beyond has a range of food, drinks, beauty items and other products.
  • With Hobart Airport’s Meet the Maker stand, you have the opportunity to learn a little bit about Tasmania before even leaving the airport. Every two weeks Hobart Airport promotes a new Tasmanian craftsman, from whiskey makers to chocolatiers to fashion and beauty designers and more. Here you can learn about local goods and what it takes to make them.
  • For those travelling with or with someone who has a disability, Hobart Airport recommends contacting your airline in advance to organise a wheelchair if needed to help you around the airport. The airport has also partnered with Autism Tasmania to create Social Stories, a visual aid to help everyone better understand how the airport works. Find out more on the airport website.

New aircraft and flight was running on time, but adverse weather conditions meant we were unable to land on the first two approaches. Third attempt resulted in a very smooth and safe landing.

New aircraft and flight was running on time, but adverse weather conditions meant we were unable to land on the first two approaches. Third attempt resulted in a very smooth and safe landing.

Very good it will be my choice of airline while in Australia.

Flight cancelled due to broken seat. $8 refreshment voucher barely bought a coffee. 3 hours to next flight. Also then delayed.

There were no food or entertainment on this short flight. Friendly staff even before getting on the flight. The seats were snug but it was quick flight

Good flight. On time. No problems. Plane was clean. Service was as you would expect. However nothing special, just a good flight.

Very friendly staff. No food service and no entertainment. Only 1hr 20min flight

High fees for excess checked baggage and somehow ridiculous rules for carry on bags.

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,

Cabin crew were very professional and welcoming. They certainly appeared to have lifted their game. Congratulations

Tightly packed passengers, 40 minutes late, no in flight service, long wait for luggage.

Small twin prop plane. Basic flight. Food was half a chicken & pesto sandwich. As the flight departed after 12pm alcohol was available. No on board entertainment. No wifi services.

I liked the refreshments as the flight was short and the free WiFi. The seats were comfortable.

From start to finish, every part of the experience was outstanding. The care and kindness shown to my 95-year-old mother was exceptional—truly 10 out of 10. From the assistance she received at Sydney Airport while boarding the plane to the help she was given when arriving at Wagga Wagga Airport, every staff member was friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. They made her feel comfortable, safe, and well looked after throughout her journey. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make my mother's trip such a wonderful experience. Your compassion and dedication are greatly appreciated.

I never flew with alliance. Kayak is a joke and none of the flights or times were correct. Won’t ever use kayak again

I missed my flight due to unforeseen circumstances It was, however , an excellent price !

My experience was great overall. Tanya was particularly friendly and helpful the entire trip. I was very pleased with her customer service skills. The plane was an older aircraft but the entire way was comfortable with barely any turbulence at all. Qantas should speed up its fleet renovation. Totally recommend using this airline.

Qantas is always subpar beyond comfy chairs for a domestic flight

an hour late, then had to disembark on back stairs and take 4 flights up to get to main airport. No warning, and difficulty for those with canes and poor knees.

Airport and crew experience was excellent. We had to queue for the runway - no one’s fault, but it did mean we were 30 minutes late leaving

Our flight was delayed twice and after we boarded it was delayed again as they were searching for a passenger's small bag. We arrived in Hobart one hour later.

A good standard flight, a little delayed, on the return flight, comfortable during cruise hour. The food was tasty, the tea pleasant, standing in the rain, on Launceston tarmac, was stupidity. Just delay the exit from the airplane, don’t have us standing around, while another plane slows its propellers. That’s common sense, but overall comfortable, clean toilet, good legroom, I paid for that, last on, first off, get a front row seat.

Cabin crew were really good. Flying in to Perth from Adelaide on domestic flight. The arrival for wheel chair use however has no air bridge provided. Unloading meant a scissor lift. Otherwise a good service.

Knees in back from passenger behind, limited seat pockets, no entertainment.

The Ryanair of Australia. Not impressed. Forced me to gate check my bag as it was over their weight limit. Charged me $125 for the privilege. Then said plane hold was locked and it would have to go out in the next flight, which was the following day. Explained that I was on a cruise the next day and the plane would not arrive until after the ship left, and that it would be impossible to catch up with the cruise at any point. Lady at the gate unimpressed. So to sum up they were ready to charge me $125 to lose a bag. Finally got it resolved by appealing to management, but the whole episode was not good for the blood pressure. The gate lady said they followed the Ryanair business model which means first time passengers get penalized for doing things that other airlines routinely allow.

Delayed 50 mins. Check in was excellent, boarding was good, everything else was OK and perfectly acceptable for a budget airline. Price was excellent. I noticed this airline had two other flights to our destination cancelled so not very reliable.

Horrible. The people that get this flights are very sick, dangerous and unhygienic

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

It was a super crowded time to travel out of Melbourne, but the flight was OK

On time and well-priced... For a short flight, what more do you need?

The flight was fine. Unfortunately, my 5.00 pm flight was cancelled and I was moved to the 6.00 am flight the following morning. Jetstar arranged transport, accommodation close to the airport and dinner & breakfast, so all was good other than an overnight delay.
