Flights by country
A fare is only half the decision. The other half is which Australian airport actually flies there, how much of a connection you are taking on to reach it, and whether the month you have picked is the one everybody else has picked too. Each destination below carries the official route and traffic figures alongside the search.

Prices are indicative, shown in AUD and refreshed from provider APIs where available. Always confirm the final price on the provider's site - it is the price that applies. We may earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes what you pay. Partners are listed before providers who pay us nothing, as our terms set out; sorting by price ignores all of that and orders on the number alone. How we make money.
Frequently asked questions
When is the cheapest time to fly overseas from Australia?
Fares follow demand, and demand for most destinations peaks around the Australian school holidays and the destination's own high season. The shoulder months either side of a destination's peak are usually the cheapest, and each destination page here shows which month Australians actually travel in, from Australian Bureau of Statistics figures, so you can see the peak rather than guess at it.
Do I need to book a return flight to enter another country?
Often yes. A large number of countries require proof of onward travel before they will let you board, and airlines check it at the gate because they carry the cost of flying you home. Each destination guide on this site states whether onward travel is required for Australian passport holders, alongside the visa and passport validity rules.
Should I book a domestic connection on the same ticket as an international flight?
Yes, wherever you can. On one ticket a missed connection is the airline's problem to fix and they will rebook you. On separate tickets it is yours, and the international fare is the expensive half. If the legs have to be separate, fly in the night before: Australian domestic flights are cancelled about 2 percent of the time, and more than twice that on some routes.
How far in advance should Australians book international flights?
For a peak-season trip, several months. For a shoulder-season one, six to ten weeks is usually enough. The figures on each destination page show when Australians travel to that country, and the busiest months are the ones where booking late costs the most.
