How to get the best deal on a Melbourne — Perth ticket

Choosing an Airline: the low-cost carrier Jetstar competes with full-service airlines Qantas and Virgin Australia on this route. If you are traveling with carry-on luggage only, Jetstar tickets can be significantly cheaper, but keep their strict weight limits in mind.
Booking Time: for flights between major Australian cities, it is optimal to search for tickets 4–8 weeks before departure. Use the price trend chart on this page to track the most affordable periods.
Days of the Week: Tuesday and Wednesday departures are usually cheaper than flights on Friday evenings or Sundays, when demand for travel between business hubs increases.
Baggage Rules: when choosing the lowest fare starting AED 628, carefully check if baggage is included, as paying for it at the airport before departure is always more expensive than booking online.
