Flying To Europe From Australia: The Ultimate Journey

Will it be Paris, London, Rome, Frankfurt, Athens, Barcelona, Vienna, Zurich, Madrid, or another city in Europe?

Of all the destinations at WorldLee Journeys, Europe has been by far the most popular booking post-Covid for travel in 2023. Looking back, those with the confidence to book early got the first worms in terms of prices that were higher than pre-Covid but much less than booking a flight from Europe to Australia in 2023 now.

High demand combined with increased fuel costs and airlines not yet back to pre-covid flight frequency are the reasons for current flight costs. In these conditions, airlines have no need to discount and are, in fact, doing everything they can to recoup 2 years of lockdown losses.

Book A Flight From Europe To Australia

If you owned a business in this situation, I’m sure most reading this would likely do the same out of financial necessity, if nothing else. While what you’ve read so far might seem a little gloomy, booking a flight from Europe to Australia in 2023 is possible. Here is what you can do to lower the cost of a flight to Europe:

  1. Book a package tour. Escorted Tour and River Cruise operators have spaces to fill on their tours. They have buying power, and some are also offering airfare rebates to fill their tours. If you can be flexible with dates and are willing to travel in the second half of 2023, WorldLee Journeys knows where to look to find good value for you along with our $250 discount offer for bookings over $10000, excluding non-commissionable items such as taxes, fees, and some airfares. Sit back and let someone else worry about the travel logistics. Choose a group size varying from 2-50 and everything in between.
  2. Check how many frequent flyer points you and your partner have. Again, flexibility with dates is required, but you may have enough points for 1 ticket one-way or return. My partner and I recently did this ourselves. We used points for 2 business class tickets one-way and then purchased 2 one-way tickets home. This almost halved the cost otherwise. Tip: If there aren’t enough points in one account, look into a pooling or transferring points to one person’s account to make redemption with points possible.
  3. Flights to Europe are currently at their lowest in late October and November. If 1 and 2 above don’t fit your plans, this time will be the most affordable.
  4. If all else fails with flying to Europe from Australia in 2023, all is not lost. I recommend one of two things:

Contact WorldLee Journeys to discuss more affordable destinations for 2023. Bucket list destinations like Japan and Egypt have not long opened to tourists. Making bookings to destinations like these hasn’t been possible until just recently. As we saw in Europe, early birds always get the first worms. Don’t waste another year; re-order your bucket list trips instead.

Air travel from Australia to Europe is forecast to stabilize in 2024 due to airlines being back to normal flight frequency. Register your interest in 2024 travel to Europe with WorldLee Journeys lee@worldleejourneys.com.au . Some 2024 travel packages are almost ready for release. Get ahead of the rest so we can inform you as soon as Early Bird deals for 2024 are released.

Got a trip on your mind? Stockholm, Copenhagen, Venice, Berlin, Prague, Istanbul – they are all waiting for you to ticket them off your travel bucket list.

What Our Clients Say

  • Fabulous Travel Agent, Always Has A Solution For Our Travels, And Now Particularly Through These COVID Times.

    Lee-Anne has been our agent now for many years. She helped us evacuate out of Buenos Aires when there was a national strike. Lee-Anne reorganized our bookings on Emirates for us to leave NZ in March 2020 just before the world locked down. She enabled us to fly into Paris (no rules broken) in September 2020 and since then as the European world has gradually reopened helped with our bookings for flights, cruises and even a private tour to Petra in late November this year. Even though we’re in France, still, Lee-Anne is also enabling us to support other small travel businesses in Australia. We wouldn’t consider using any other travel agent for our journeys. We feel that Lee-Anne understands our needs and works with us always for the best travel options.

    Anne B

  • We have had the pleasure of working with Lee-Anne planning trips and itineraries to various destinations of the past 18 years. Her knowledge has been invaluable to us. She has consistently taken care of every travel detail imaginable and is currently working on an extended European holiday for us. We have recommended Lee-Anne’s travel services to a number of family and friends who are now also her clients.

    The Francis Family

  • We’ve only recently started working with Lee-Anne for our family holidays. She made the whole process so easy. Several recommendations on how to put our holiday together were made based on her experience and we would never have thought of these on our own. The USA/Hawaii package she put together for us suited our teenage family perfectly. Lee-Anne went above and beyond to make sure everything was looked after. She will be the first call we make when we are ready to plan our next holiday.

    The Christensen Family

  • Lee-Anne Talbot is more than just a travel agent. Her knowledge and advice is invaluable, thinking of everything so you don’t have to. In times when Covid can change everything at any time. Having Lee-Anne on top of our travel plans has been invaluable. Thank you Lee-Anne, you will be my first call every time I travel.

    Mandy Giddings

  • Lee-Anne was recommended to us by our accountant after a bad experience booking online. Best decision we ever made. Lee-Anne encouraged us to do our own research online to compare with what she was able to offer us. Not only was she able to offer similar prices, hers were often better or included extras like breakfast or resort fees for the same price. The myth that online is cheaper for booking travel is completely untrue not to mention the financial risk you take with online travel companies not governed by Australian consumer protection laws. International holidays are expensive. Do yourself a favour, call Lee-Anne when you are planning your next trip. She will save you so much time and you’ll have peace of mind knowing your hard earned money is safe.

    Julie McCarthy

  • I’ve been booking group holidays for 30-75 people with Lee-Anne now for the past 8 years. We’ve been to Fiji, Perth, Hawaii, New Zealand, Thailand, Vanuatu, The Cook Islands and a cruise from Singapore. She is a trusted travel advisor, great listener and professional in everything she does. Not sure where I’d be without her assistance with my groups. Can thoroughly recommend.
