Answers to the questions we hear most about booking international flights with us.
How do I find the cheapest international flights to Europe from Australia?
+
Fares vary depending on your departure city, airline, routing, and how far ahead you book. Booking three to five months ahead generally gets the best price. Connecting through Middle Eastern or Asian hubs, or flying into smaller gateway cities like Lisbon or Athens instead of London or Paris, can also lower the cost.
Which airlines fly from Australia to Europe?
+
Airlines on this route include Qantas, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines, Etihad, Turkish Airlines, and Finnair, connecting through hubs like Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, or Istanbul. Qantas also runs a direct non-stop Perth to London flight, one of the longest in the world.
Which European cities have the most direct or convenient connections from Australia?
+
London has the highest frequency of flight options from Australia. Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, and Zurich are also well connected. For multi-city trips, flying into one city and out of another is often the most practical option.
How long is a flight from Australia to Europe?
+
Sydney to London takes around 22 to 24 hours with a connection. The direct Qantas flight from Perth to London takes about 17 hours. Sydney to Paris, Rome, or Amsterdam typically takes 22 to 26 hours total, depending on the layover.
Do I need a visa to travel to Europe from Australia?
+
Australians can visit most Schengen countries for up to 90 days without a visa, but will need an ETIAS travel authorisation before arrival. Countries outside the Schengen zone, like the UK and Ireland, have their own separate entry rules.
What is the Schengen zone and which countries are included?
+
The Schengen Area is 27 European countries that have removed passport checks at their shared borders, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Greece. The UK, Ireland, Romania, Bulgaria, and Cyprus are not part of it and have their own entry rules.
What is the best time of year to fly to Europe from Australia?
+
Summer has the warmest weather but the highest fares and biggest crowds. Spring and autumn balance good weather with better pricing. Winter is quieter and cheaper, and January and February tend to have the lowest fares overall.
Is it better to book a multi-city European itinerary or a return flight to one city?
+
For two weeks or less, a return flight to one city is usually simpler and cheaper. For three weeks or more, flying into one city and out of another can save backtracking and suit a multi-country trip better. Our team can help map out the best routing.
Are there any hidden fees added at checkout when booking international flights to Europe?
+
No. The fare shown on EaseTravel includes all taxes, carrier charges, and applicable fees. There are no extra costs added at the end of the booking - what you see during your search is what you pay.
What baggage am I allowed on an international flight to Europe?
+
Full-service airlines like Qantas, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, and Cathay Pacific include at least one checked bag on economy fares, with more on business and premium economy. Budget carrier connections within Europe may charge separately.
Can I change or cancel my international flight to Europe after booking?
+
This depends on the airline and fare type. Flexible and business fares usually allow changes with little or no fee, while discounted economy fares may be non-refundable. We show the full fare conditions before you confirm.
How will I receive my e-ticket after booking an international flight to Europe?
+
Your e-ticket and confirmation are emailed within minutes of payment. If it doesn't arrive, check your spam folder first, then contact our support team and we'll resend it.
Do you offer last-minute international flights to Europe?
+
Last-minute fares to Europe do come up occasionally, though availability is more limited than on domestic routes. If you need to travel at short notice, contact our team and we'll check what's available.
Can I book a one-way international flight to Europe?
+
Yes. One-way, return, and open-jaw options are all available. If you're travelling through multiple countries and returning from a different city, our multi-city booking lets you set that up.
Do you offer group bookings for international flights to Europe?
+
Yes. For groups of six or more, contact our team directly. We'll search for the best group fares, help with seating where possible, and support you from enquiry through to departure.
Is Europe a good destination for a family holiday?
+
Paris, Rome, and London all have strong family attractions, from the Eiffel Tower to the Colosseum and Disneyland Paris. The Swiss Alps suit active families, and Greece's islands offer calm, safe beaches for younger kids.
What are the most underrated European destinations worth adding to an itinerary?
+
Porto offers great food and architecture with fewer crowds than Lisbon. Ljubljana is a beautiful, overlooked capital. Kotor in Montenegro, the Amalfi Coast, and Norway's Lofoten Islands all offer scenery that rivals the more touristed spots.
What is the best way to travel around Europe after landing?
+
High-speed trains connect major cities quickly, like Paris to London via Eurostar in just over two hours. Budget airlines make short hops affordable, and renting a car works best for rural areas and national parks.
Is Europe good for a honeymoon from Australia?
+
Paris, the Amalfi Coast, and Tuscany are classic honeymoon picks. Santorini and Mykonos remain popular for their sunsets, while the Swiss Alps or a Rhine river cruise offer something quieter. Our team can help build an itinerary to fit your budget.
Is Europe good for business travel from Australia?
+
London, Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, and Zurich are all major hubs for finance, tech, and trade, hosting events like Mobile World Congress and the Frankfurt Motor Show. Flexible fares let you adjust your booking if plans change.
