Flights to Australia for families

A flight to Australia can be daunting, especially when you are travelling with children. For many children, the flight is at least as exciting as the holiday itself. So enjoy every moment, because the great adventure starts at check-in! All you need to decide in advance is which class you want to fly. Take advantage of our attractive rates and tips, it makes your choice so much easier.

Why choose Economy?


Sit back and relax - tomorrow you'll be in Australia. When you book with TravelEssence, your family gets the most comfortable flight for the best prices with leading airlines. We are specialists in finding the best airfares, routes, connection times, and stopover locations. Enjoy an easy check-in and a laid-back journey.

Travelling to Australia with your children may seem as though it's a bit of a mission. But it isn’t. We’ve seen it done hundreds of times and can offer you some great tips.

Are you flying with small children? Depending on their age, they may fly for free. You can bring your buggy to the gate and skip the lines when boarding. Are you flying with older kids? Don’t worry, they will each get their own inflight entertainment system.

We will have you seated comfortably in a row, watching the latest movies, eating a variety of foods and drinks, and enjoying your journey to Australia.

Get your holiday off to a good start

Choose travel times that suit you. Do you prefer a night flight, or flying during the day? Do you want a longer stopover to discover a new city and break up your journey? The options are endless. You can always find the flight route that suits your needs.

Have your trip planned by specialists

Mapping out the route that is ideal for you can be a complicated puzzle. That is why our travel specialists are always there for you. Benefit from their knowledge and experience in organising trips. They easily arrange everything for you, so that you can board your flight in Economy Class with peace of mind. Before you know it, you will land at your destination on the other side of the world.

Difference Economy and Premium Economy

In addition to Economy, you can also choose from Premium Economy. When you fly with Premium Economy, the seats are a bit more spacious and larger than in Economy, so you can enjoy a little more luxury and comfort. In addition, Premium Economy is often separated from Economy and Business Class.

"Would like to make your trip to Australia more comfortable? I suggest flying - Premium economy class. It's really worth the upgrade!"

Worried about flying with kids?

Have you considered a stopover? If you’re travelling with small children and worried about the length of the journey, we recommend a stopover or a day room in a hotel along the way. It can be really great to break up the journey! Stay at a beautiful hotel, take a bath, freshen up, and savour a delicious breakfast before you start the next leg to your dream destination. If you want to fly non-stop, there is one journey available with Qantas.

Considering a multi-city trip? We can help book domestic flights too. Venture from the historic city of Melbourne to the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns - it's all at your fingertips.

Since 1 April 2019, we are carbon offsetting all of our client’s flights and car driving whilst they are on holiday.
