Airline Tickets to Australia, Travelling from Asia

There is a broad choice of airline tickets to Australia when you are coming from Asia.

The distance is relatively short, compared with air travel from Europe and flights from the Americas or Africa.

If you travel from Asia you'll fly direct to one of the big capital cities in the land down under.

It takes around 8 - 9 hours to get from Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok to the cities on our South Eastern Coast: Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane.

Asian airlines are generally quite customer oriented, cater to your needs and offer you as much comfort as a long flight allows.

We flew Singapore, Malaysia and Thai airlines and were impressed with the service, food and entertainment on board. Generally better than many European airlines, I think.

From Asia, the airfares to Australia can vary a lot with the airline, season, day of the week or competition.

If you board on the plane and find empty seats, consider yourself lucky. You'll be able to sit more comfortably. But it doesn't happen too often.

Why? Because Australians are great travellers and Asia is a prime destination. So traffic between the two continents is big.

There is also a large number of international students coming Down Under, then tourists and relatives visiting family down under.

So book in advance if you want a seat on a certain date or airline. Otherwise be flexible with your airfares to Australia and expect to pay more if you delay your reservations.
