Peak season:
Summer (December to February) is the most popular time to book flights to Sydney as the city is buzzing at this time of year. New Year’s Eve, the Sydney Festival, Australia Day and the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras are just some of the events that entice visitors to this vibrant city during January and February. Book your cheap flights to Sydney well in advance if you’re planning to visit during this period.
Off Season:
Once festival season is over things quieten down in autumn (March to May) and with lots of cheap flights to Sydney available at this time you can enjoy the cooler weather conditions for sightseeing. Temperatures are still mild and pleasant in winter (June to August). September can be rainy but is the one of the cheapest times to visit so check spring flight sales.

If weather is an important factor for your trip to Sydney, use this chart to help with planning. For those seeking warmer temperatures, January is the ideal time of year to visit, when temperatures reach an average of 22.0 C. Travellers hoping to avoid the cold should look outside of July, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 11.0 C).
For the greatest savings, book your flight tickets well in advance at any time of year. If you plan to travel during mid April to late June you can often grab some great cheap flight deals. Flexibility around the day you travel can also work to your advantage, with midweek departures on a Tuesday or Wednesday being less expensive. Peak periods to note are Friday afternoons, Sunday mornings and Monday mornings; school holidays and the lead up Christmas are also times when there are fewer cheap flights to Sydney. Although it can be a lottery depending on wind conditions and approach path, try for a seat on the left side of the plane if you want to catch views of the bridge and Sydney skyline.
