When to fly over Christmas
December 22 is the most expensive day to fly across all airlines from Sydney to Melbourne in December 2024, according to travel insurance company Compare the Market.
If you're flying out of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Wellington, flights are generally cheaper from December 3 to 5, and 10 to 13, the organisation said.
Travellers can also save money by flying to select destinations in Australia and New Zealand from the four cities on December 31, Compare the Market advised.
My all-time favourite destination is ... Cornwall. From the giant seagulls to the blustery beaches, Cornish pasties and fishing villages, it stirs something romantic and seafaring in me.
Next on my bucket list is … Mongolia. I want to go somewhere really unique that feels totally foreign and challenges my way of life.
My top travel tip is … Don’t plan too much. Walk the streets and let it happen. And make sure you check out what’s within a few blocks of your hotel - sometimes the best local food is found that way.
