International tourism from India is on the rise and Indians nowadays are choosing to spend their vacations abroad, rather than in the country. Australia is among the most popular international holiday destinations for the people of India, with Sydney taking the centre stage. This capital of New South Wales is one of the largest and most frequented cities in Australia. With numerous attractions like Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sea Life Sydney Aquarium and Luna Park Sydney, the metropolis hosts a multitude of tourists throughout the year. Sydney, being the biggest commercial hub in the country, is also thronged by business travellers from all over the world.
Since New Delhi is the capital and a major financial hub, a lot of people from India prefer to fly to Sydney from here. More than 150 flights from Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) to Sydney Airport (SYD) are operated on a daily basis. These air services are offered by many Indian, Australian and other international carriers like Air India, AirAsia, Jet Airways, Qantas, Thai Airways and Cathay Pacific. The cost of flight makes a significant part of the travel budget. Some convenient ways for travellers to book cheap flight tickets are given below.
Book a Flight with a Low-cost Carrier
Low-cost carriers are a great option for passengers looking to fly economically from New Delhi to Sydney. They offer flight tickets between INR 15000 and 20000, which is cheaper than other carriers. Money saved on airfare can be utilised in sightseeing or maybe lavish accommodation.
Book Flights with Online Travel Agencies
People believe that online travel agencies (OTAs) always offer expensive tickets as they add their profits or commissions in their prices. However, this is not always the case. These agencies often book flights in bulk and well in advance; therefore, they are able to provide flight tickets at even lower prices than the airlines.
OTAs often roll out various deals and discounts to attract business. For instance, some time ago, an Indian LCC offered flights on some specific routes at just INR 1. Though these are rare, eCash offers and other discounts can regularly be seen on the portals of the various agencies.
Book Tickets on Mondays
New Delhi to Sydney flights are usually cheaper on Mondays. Sundays are believed to be the most expensive days for travelling on this route. Passengers who can be flexible with their itineraries can book a flight for this day to save money on their flight fare. The cheapest tickets on this route are often available for less than INR 40000.
Book a Round-trip
Passengers who have a planned itinerary and know when they are travelling back from Sydney can save a few thousand bucks by booking round-trip tickets. While one-way flight tickets on the New Delhi-Sydney route usually cost around INR 35000-40000, two-way tickets can be bought for INR 60000-65000. Not just on this route, round-trip flight tickets can save money for any route.
Travel in Off-season
During the peak travel season, the prices of flight tickets are usually higher than the ones in the off-season. Vacationers, who are planning a trip to Sydney, can go on the tour in the off-season to save money on airfare. During this time, the hotel tariff is also less than usual; therefore, the whole tour expense lowers significantly.
Using these tips, passengers can save a significant part of their airfare on New Delhi to Sydney flights, without much hassle.
