How Much is This Aussie Adventure Gonna Cost Me?
Ah, the golden question. The price of a flight from the City of Angels to the Land Down Under can vary more than a kangaroo's hop. It depends on a bunch of factors like:
- When you're going: Peak season (think summer holidays) is gonna cost ya more than a meat pie.
- Where in Australia you're landing: Sydney and Melbourne are generally pricier than, say, Brisbane or Perth.
- How fancy you wanna get: Economy, Premium Economy, Business, or First Class – the sky's the limit (literally!).
Expect to shell out anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Yeah, we know, it's a wide range. But hey, that's travel for ya.
