Soak Up the Sun and Ambience with Flights to Melbourne

One thing’s for sure, Melbourne is an art lover’s paradise. With a wonderful array of galleries and museums alongside performing arts centres and street performers, you’ll find something around every corner.

And when your feet get tired, there are plenty of cafés that allow you to continue soaking up the vibrant atmosphere of this city. Melbourne’s also renowned for its fabulous dining options, boasting everything from fine dining by the sea to bijou bistros in secluded spots.

Want to escape the hustle and bustle for a bit? Then you might want to head out on an Aboriginal heritage walk or take a trip to Melbourne Zoo.

Finding Cheap Flights to Melbourne 

Because there’s so much happening in Melbourne all year round, you’ll need to plan your trip in advance to secure the cheapest flights. Watch out for the world-famous events that Melbourne plays host to, including the Australian Grand Prix in March and the Australian Open in January, as this can hike airfare prices up.

October through to March tends to be the busiest time for travellers going to Melbourne, as it’s not only the Australian summer but the cricket season, too. Locals and tourists tend to flock to watch these matches, which means you will often have to pay a bit more to secure optimum flights.

However, if you can hold off on your trip to Melbourne until the spring and autumn, you might be able to save money with cheaper flight prices. Spring offers you warmer temperatures and is a great time to see everything blooming into life. In autumn, temperatures will start to drop, but you can still enjoy the cultural offerings of Melbourne.

As Melbourne is a popular tourist destination all year round, it’s worth trying to be flexible with your flights (if you can). And don’t forget to set up price tracking alerts so you can secure discount flights when they become available.
