When are flights from the UK to Australia most expensive?
Christmas and New Year flights to Australia
Flights from the UK to Australia are most expensive near the Christmas and New Year period. This is because it is when a lot of people visit families on the other side of the world, and others take advantage of time off work.
How expensive are flights to Australia over the Christmas and New Year period?
If you absolutely must fly out to Australia in mid to late December, you can expect to pay at least 50% more for your return flight than you would at other times of the year.
How can I avoid the expensive December flights?
The best way to avoid the really expensive flights from the UK to Australia over Christmas and New Year is to stay longer. If it’s possible to depart in late November or very early December, the price will generally be a lot cheaper. But of course, this all depends on whether you can get time off work. It’s also worth bearing in mind that accommodation prices tend to be more expensive at this time of year as well – it may be worth taking the extra hit on the flight price.
