When you think of places to fly on low-cost airlines, Australia might not be the first place that pops into your mind. While budget airlines are more popular and commonly-used in other continents like Europe and Asia, it’s totally possible to get around the Land Down Under without breaking the bank.
Let’s take a look at the two main budget options in the world of Australian aviation.
Jetstar Airways
Jetstar Airways is owned and operated by Australian carrier Qantas, offering a cheaper, low-frills version of their service. This company offers flights to 19 Australian airports and 15 international airports, including ones in Hawaii, New Zealand, Japan, and Southeast Asia. It’s a great option for discovering Australia itself as well as a base for discovering other places.
Tigerair Australia
Tigerair Australia, founded in 2007 and a pioneer in budget flying in the continent, operates a fleet of 14 mid-sized jets that provide flights exclusively in Australia at the present time. From Perth to Darwin to Sydney, you can use this airline to get anywhere you need to go to Australia without breaking the bank.
