Best time to book flights to Europe Return 22rd September to 6th October

When would be the best time to book flights to Europe from Sydney from 22nd September to 6th October.

Ideally looking at Amsterdam return, at the moment the cheapest is $1320 with China Southern Airlines.

Seems a bit pricey considering I've seen return flights to Europe for under $1000.

  • I would say wait, something will pop up
    I have bought tickets for half price, thinking they good deal and closer to travel dates, they were even much cheaper, go figure.
    Set up alerts, error fares are flukes but works!

    • Yeah that was my thinking too!

      My friend would get the return flight Sydney —> Amsterdam but I'm considering going Sydney —> Amsterdam —> Beirut —>Sydney

      Do you think round trips be cheaper too if I wait?

      • I would say round trips are always expensive, except once Thai Airways from memory.
        Like we bought Singapore Airline tickets, was 650 Mel-Paris, but we end up booking Mel-Sin-Paris and Return from Rome- Melbourne for $900.

        Within Europe, the flights are like 50AUD one way usually and you can still go as many places as you want,
        I will look at cheapest to one destination and then look for the connecting flights.

        As Beirut is not in Europe, it may cost you more.In that case you might want to look at Emirates and Qatar

      this is true sometimes but not always the case.

      if you have defined dates you NEED to be there on, just book with earlier bird fares. waiting until the last minute they can actually increase to the point they are ridiculous and you won't have a ticket.

      it depends on the season and airline but sept. isn't freezing weather there so you won't get absolute bargain basement.

      qatar airways had about 1200 last time i checked. so that's a bit cheaper and probably better airline.
