Budget Airlines that Fly to Adelaide
Adelaide is an often underrated destination, but for those that enjoy good food and wine, especially in a more relaxed environment, often find Adelaide a nice getaway. Adelaide is the main shoot-off point for the ever popular Kangaroo Island, where just like its name suggests is home to plenty of bouncing roos. Other travelers choose to explore a more adventurous route by using Adelaide as a starting point for a massive Australian tour to Alice Springs.
To get to Adelaide from overseas, you may have to have a transfer stop in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth or other major gateway. Since this is already part of the process, you might be able to save some money on this route by switching carriers to a more budget airline once inside the country. Other than that, flying on the cheap to Adelaide can be done by exploring in the off-season (winter in Australia) or by choosing flights on certain non-peak travel days of the week.
