Last Minute Travel Deals to Australia
Last minute travel deals to Australia can cut the cost of a trip down under substantially. This is especially important for American travelers today, as the plunging value of the US dollar against the Australian currency has caused the price of travel to Australia to increase.
Yet more airline capacity has also been introduced between the two countries since 2009, which has caused airfares to plummet. The average coach airfare on the US to Australia routes was above $1,800 three years ago, and peak season rates averaged $1400 in December 2010. Rates do depend on the season one is traveling, with December-January being the peak season. The most fantastic deals to Tasmania can be found from May to October. If you're traveling last-minute and can reserve lodging less than a month out, then the Aussie-based website Wotif.com is a fine resource for hotel deals.
