Air Travel to Australia

Coming from Europe

Air travel to Australia from the northern hemisphere is a long journey.

Count on at least 24 hours, if you are flying from Europe.

It is about 12- 14 hours to fly to one of the Asian destinations, then a stop that can be anything from 1 hour to the whole day.

From there on, another 7 - 9 hours.

It all depends on airlines and connections. On the positive side if your stop is more than 5 – 6 hours you could actually try and visit the Asian city where you have to board on a new flight.

Air Travel to Australia -
Stopping in Asia

For example, if you have enough time between flights in Singapore you might find an offer for free sightseeing tours. Hop on the bus and listen to the guide, who will reveal places and share stories about Singapore that are difficult to find on your own.

So check your stopover airport sites, you may have a nice surprise.

With Europe airfares to Australia high and trips really long, why not turn that stopover in an Asian city into a short holiday? Book yourself into a hotel and enjoy the experience of discovering new places, tasting great food and becoming aware of a new culture.

You will pay the additional airport taxes and probably some fee for interrupting your flight. But think of the savings you make if you compare these costs to the usual airfares to Australia from Asia, when you book a holiday from scratch.

And search the internet, you may find some good travel deals.

To add another positive note, your 24 hour flight has now become 2 flights in two different days.

Yes, each of them is long by European standards. But you will be able to stretch your legs and sleep in a bed rather than stay awake in a tight plane seat.
