flights within australia

Flights within Australia are now relatively cheap since the collapse of Ansett, and the arrival of Virgin Blue. The regional routes are serviced by smaller airlines such as Regional Express or Airlines of South Australia. You will find that each state capital has an international standard airport and the majority of country towns and outback stations have at least an airstrip. Internal flights in Australia are the most practical means of long distance travel.

Here are some suggestions to save money on your flights within Australia

Booking online
Great savings can be made booking your internal flights online.

Qantas Boomerang Pass
Great savings can be made before you leave. For example the Qantas Boomerang pass (other companies have similar schemes) allow you to purchase a pass before arrival for 2-10 flights at discounted rates.

Backpacker Fares
If you have a YHA or VIP card you could save money on your internal flights in Australia. Purchase 3 flights and these cards will get you great discounts.
