How much does a flight to Brisbane cost?
Cheapest time to fly and when to book
The cheapest time to fly is usually autumn and spring, outside school holidays, when the weather is mild and sunny and the city is quieter.
Fares peak in December-January, Easter and school holidays, so winter is a good-value pick for dry, sunny days.
How early in advance should I book my flight
Book 1-3 months ahead for the best fares, and earlier for school holidays. Prices generally rise closer to departure.
