When are flights from the UK to Australia cheapest?
Shoulder season to Australia
Experts will always say that ‘shoulder season’ is the cheapest time to fly from the UK to Australia, but what does ‘shoulder season’ mean?
Summer flights to Australia
Well, to all intents and purposes, it means the northern hemisphere spring and autumn. Most Australians want to go to Europe in summer; most British people want to go to Australia when it’s winter at home and thus summer down under. The laws of supply and demand take effect.
Airline sale validity dates
The absolute best time of year for cheap flights between the UK and Australia, however, is usually in the northern hemisphere spring. Specifically, between a couple of weeks after Easter and the end of June. This is when most of the headline fares of the airline sales will be valid for.
