Hobart Flights

Simultaneously hip and folksy, Hobart is blessed with a plethora of chic cafes and restaurants, exciting festivals and a lively music scene, natural beauty and stunning views. Since this location is home to so much activity and given that most of these activities are centrally located, it is no surprise that it is rapidly becoming a popular tourist hangout. Although tourists are beginning to discover the joys of this destination, cheap flights to Hobart are still relatively easy to find during the majority of the year.

Best time to go to Hobart

Peak Season:

Most tourists crowd this fabulous location from December through February, as the climate is pleasantly hot throughout the day and beautifully warm at night. These temperatures make the peak season a great time to visit, as you will be able to comfortably take part in one of the many events, such as the Royal Hobart Regatta, the Taste of Tasmania, and the Summer and Fall Music Festivals.

Shoulder Season:

The shoulder season in Hobart falls from March to June, then again in September to November. The shoulder season is a great time to visit the area; not only are flights cheap, but the weather is relatively dry and warm and the ground bursts with bright, beautiful wildflowers.

Off Season:

Flights are at their cheapest from July to August, when tourists typically avoid the area in search of warmer temperatures. Although the city may be cool and little rainy, this is still a good time to visit if you would like to indulge in one of the many indoor activities, like touring the Cascade Brewery, taking in a show at the New Sydney Hotel, or browsing the wares of the Bathurst Street Antique Centre.

How to survive the flight to Hobart?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Hobart could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We’ve rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It’s also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don’t forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket just in case you get cold. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it’s possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
  • The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Hobart?
It’s all about being prepared. We’ve pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Hobart, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
  • There’s a chance you’ll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
