Key facts about Brisbane

How to get cheap flights from London to Brisbane

Tips and advice from our flight experts

Fly from London to Brisbane and, once you reach Australia, you’ll land at Brisbane Airport (BNE) – an international flight hub that serves all of Brisbane and Queensland. There are around 1,294 weekly flights on this route setting off from several London airports, but they’re all indirect – so you can expect at least one stopover on the way.

London Heathrow (LHR) is the most popular airport in this city for flights to Brisbane, while the most popular airlines are Singapore Airlines, British Airways and Cathay Pacific. Both flight prices and accommodation rates fluctuate throughout the year though, so it’s worth searching by month to reveal the cheapest times to fly.

On average, the flight to Brisbane takes around 21 hours and 20 minutes, but that all depends on your route and the number of stop-offs on the way. If you want a bargain, keep an eye out for flights with Royal Brunei, as they often have good deals. Or, you could broaden your search by looking at flights to other airports in Australia to see if there are any cheaper options.

The most expensive time for flights from London to Brisbane tends to be March. This is the start of autumn, which means temperatures are more bearable than summer – which runs December through February – and also coincides with school holidays, so prices go up alongside visitor numbers.

July, on the other hand, is often a cheaper time for London to Brisbane flights, so you might find a bargain. It may be Brisbane’s coldest month, but you can still expect temperatures between 10°C and 22°C, and it’s also a good time for whale watching. Bear in mind that school holidays end in Brisbane mid-July, which could also affect flight prices.
