Best time to go to Adelaide

Peak Season:

The end of winter and beginning of autumn make up the peak season in Adelaide. From February to March, tourists flock to this lovely location to bask in the warmth. They are also drawn out by the many events in the area, such as the Adelaide Festival of Arts and Womadelaide.

Shoulder Season:

The shoulder season begins in September and finishes up some time in November. Some of the more active tourists like to visit the area during this time, as there are many sporting events that take place. However, as this season can also be quite humid, tourists thin out making this a great time to find inexpensive flights to the area.

Off Season:

June through August is a great time to take part in some of the many winter sports activities in the area. If, however, you prefer to stay out of the cool weather you can also enjoy one of the casinos, the Art Gallery of South Australia, or Her Majesty's Theatre in the west end. As most tourists prefer to avoid the rain of this season, this is the best time to find reasonably-priced flights.

How to survive the flight to Adelaide?
If you’re not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there’s no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Adelaide.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you’ll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Adelaide?
The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Adelaide before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
