Brisbane Flights Guide
The city may not have the crowds of Melbourne or the famous attractions of Sydney, but it still has plenty to offer tourists who decide to take a chance on Brisbane. Brush up on your Aussie lingo — barbie for barbecue and snags for sausages, to name just a few — and get started on exploring the city.
There are art galleries and cozy cafes for those looking for something laid-back, great window-shopping at Queen Street Mall for those on a budget, and plenty of pubs in Fortitude Valley offering cheap drinks and great live music. The Central Business District is where the city's deals are done, but this is also a great place to walk around and grab a spot of lunch before you head off to the South Bank Parklands, Gallery of Modern Art, or the Queensland Cultural Centre.
Rare treats to be found in Brisbane include the Queensland Police Museum and Daisy Hill Koala Centre, both of which are free to the public. For some one-on-one time with Australia's famous marsupials, visit the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary where you can volunteer your time and skills in exchange for koala hugs.

When to Go and Weather
From December to early March, Brisbane's summer temperatures average a warm 30-32°C and while it can get fairly humid on the coast, it is less so in the interior suburbs. Those who can't take the summer heat and humidity are better off booking Brisbane flights in the winter, between June and August. At an average of 20°C, winter temperatures in the city are mild, with 18°C considered 'low'. From October to December the city experiences frequent thunderstorms often accompanied by hail, so even if tickets are cheap, it's best to avoid booking flights to Brisbane around this time.
The shoulder seasons for travel to Brisbane extend from March to May and mid-September to mid-October, when temperatures are at a comfortable 25-27°C. Getting sun-burnt in Brisbane is very easy, even in the wintertime, so remember to always carry plenty of sunscreen with you, no matter when you travel.
