Book cheap flights from Australia — compare hundreds of airlines in one search

Finding a great flight deal does not have to be complicated. At BudgetAir.com.au, you can compare flights from more than 500 airlines — from low-cost carriers to full-service airlines — covering over 9,000 destinations worldwide. Whether you are planning a city break in Melbourne, a beach holiday in Bali, or a long-haul trip to London, Tokyo or New York, we help you find the best available fare for your travel dates.

How to find cheaper flights

• Compare different travel dates — flying midweek is often cheaper than travelling at the weekend
• Book several weeks in advance for domestic and short-haul flights, and a few months ahead for long-haul journeys
• Keep your dates flexible: changing your departure or return date by one or two days may reduce the fare
• Compare departures from different Australian airports — flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth can vary significantly in price
• Check our flight deals page for current airline promotions and available discount codes

Why do flight prices change?

Airline prices are dynamic, meaning the same flight can become more or less expensive over time. Prices may depend on how far in advance you book, remaining seat availability, fuel costs, airport charges, travel season and demand. Low-cost and full-service airlines also use different pricing models, so comparing a wide range of carriers can help you find a better option. Booking early often gives you more choice, although last-minute offers may occasionally be available for flexible travellers.

What name should I use when booking?

Enter your name exactly as it appears in your passport or travel document. Carefully check the spelling and order of your first name and surname before confirming your booking. Requirements for middle names may vary by airline, so it is safest to include them when they appear on your passport. Name corrections after booking may involve additional costs.

Can I book flights to multiple destinations?

Yes. Select the “Multiple destinations” option in the search box to combine several flights in one itinerary. This is useful for multi-city journeys or open-jaw trips, where you arrive in one city and return from another.
