What is the best month to visit Australia?

Answer 1

Airlines have the lowest prices on coach class seats when the flight schedules are first announced. For US-based airlines, this is about 10 months before the date of travel. Qantas, the Australian airline, releases its schedules about a year in advance.

However, with the entry this year of VAustralia and Delta as air carriers to Australia and the economic "downturn" in travel, there have been many airfare sales on flights to Australia. The lowest "published air" prices have been considerably higher than an airfare special that may promote a specific destination or flights during a specific time of year.

There's no guaranty that the airfare sales will continue into 2010, but VAustralia is actively promoting its flights to Australia - and Qantas has been trying to keep pace with the sales.

Depending on where you plan to visit in Australia, your best airfare purchase may be a Qantas Aussie AirPass, which allows for between 3-4 (depending on the current special) "free" flights to destinations within Australia for the cost of the international (non-sale priced) airfare. The cost of an AirPass does not change; the best time to puchase it is as soon as you have planned where you want to go.

For only one or two destinations, or if you're looking for a really low price, the best time to purchase your tickets is during a sale. The pricing for each new sale has been higher than it was for the previous sale, and only a small number of seats on each flight are allocated to sale prices. If you have specific dates you must travel, you may be forced to pay more if you wait too long.

Finding the lowest priced airfare is often a bit like playing roulette - unfortunately, there are no guarantees.

Answer 2

It would depend upon where one wanted to go. Generally, September gives the best options all round, for the following reasons:

• There is still snow at the ski resorts in the Australian Alps.
• Gardens are blooming in gereat profusons, and flower shows are being held around Australia, such as Floriade in Canberra and the Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba.
• It is not too cold for Surfing and swimming.
• It is not too hot and humid on the Great barrier Reef, or too dry and hot at Ayers Rock.
• The wet season has not yet set in at the Top End.
• Wherever one was to go, the climate is most consistent and temperate at that time, with less chance of extremes (although there are always exceptions).
