Best Time to Book Flights to Australia

Booking Window: Book at least 3-9 months in advance for the lowest fares especially if you're planning to travel over Christmas, New Year, Easter, or UK summer holidays.
Best Days To Book: Aim for Tuesday or Wednesday, ideally early morning or late at night that's when airlines often update their pricing and sneak in discounted seats.
Cheapest Months: For lower fares, travel during Australia's shoulder seasons think May-June or September-early November. You'll dodge the crowds and save a few quid.
Extra Tip: Be flexible with your departure airport (e.g. Gatwick vs Heathrow) and consider midweek flights they're often cheaper than weekend departures.
