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.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Adelaide?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Adelaide in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Adelaide?
As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Adelaide in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
  • Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
