How to get to Australia?
You can fly every day to the east-coast cities from Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia. Fares depend on the season, the highest being the two weeks on either side of Christmas. Fares drop during the “shoulder” seasons – late February to May and mid-August to November – and you’ll get the best prices during the low season, June to mid-August. Because of the distance from the most popular departure points, flying on weekends does not alter the price. Of course, you can also choose a more adventurous way and take a ship trip from Asia.
