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.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Hobart?
Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Hobart could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
  • Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Hobart?
The secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Hobart in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. 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 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
