Which airlines appear on this route
Two airlines appeared in the fares we saw: Jetstar and Virgin Australia. Jetstar had the lower starting price, at US$80. Virgin Australia started at US$120.
Both airlines had direct flights in our data. Jetstar appeared more often at the lower end. Virgin Australia did not show a fare below US$120 in this snapshot.
Remember that fares change often. An airline that looks lower today may not be lower tomorrow. Compare both airlines for your specific dates before you book.
Direct or with a stop?
Every fare we saw was direct, with no stops. That means the flight goes from Adelaide to Sydney without changing planes. Direct flights are common on this route.
We did not see any connecting fares in the last 48 hours. That does not mean they never exist. If you are open to a stop, you may see other options.
A direct flight is often simpler, but it is not always the lowest. Compare direct and connecting options for your dates. The data here only covers direct fares.
How to choose your dates
The data shows December had the lowest fare we saw, at US$80. January was the highest, at US$125. If you can travel in December, you may find a lower fare.
Flexibility helps. Try shifting your departure by a day or two. A fare can change from one day to the next, sometimes by a noticeable amount.
Look at the whole month, not just one date. The lowest fare we saw was on 1 December, but other days may be similar. Use a calendar view to spot the lower days.
Using price alerts and comparing before you book
Set a price alert to watch fares for your dates. FindMyFlight offers email alerts with a one-click unsubscribe. You will receive an email when the price changes, if you have set an alert.
Always compare before you book. FindMyFlight lists results by price, low to high, and never adds anything to a fare. You book and pay the airline or partner directly.
Look at both airlines and different dates. A small change can save you money. The fares we saw ranged from US$80 to US$125, a difference worth noting.
- Check fares for a few different dates.
- Set a price alert for your preferred travel window.
- Compare Jetstar and Virgin Australia before booking.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not assume the lowest fare is available every day. The US$80 fare was seen on one date only. Other days in December may be higher.
Do not book without comparing. A fare can look low until you see the total with bags or seat selection. Check what is included before you pay.
Do not wait too long if you see a fare that works for you. Prices change quickly, and the fare you saw yesterday may be gone today.
