How Much Does a Holiday Cost from Australia in 2025?
Post-COVID travel costs have risen significantly — flights, accommodation and activities all cost more than pre-2020. However, with careful planning and booking 3–6 months in advance, Australian travellers can still find excellent value, particularly in South-East Asia and New Zealand.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much spending money do I need for Bali from Australia in 2025?
For a 14-day mid-range trip to Bali for two people: flights $1,200–$2,000 return, accommodation $80–$200/night ($1,120–$2,800), meals and activities $100–$200/day ($1,400–$2,800), travel insurance $200–$400. Total budget: $4,000–$8,000 for two people. Solo budget travellers can manage Bali for $150–$200/day all-inclusive (accommodation, food, transport, activities).
When is the cheapest time to fly from Australia?
Generally the cheapest periods are: shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October for Europe/UK); avoiding Australian school holidays (January, April, July, September); booking 3-6 months in advance for international flights; midweek departures (Tuesday/Wednesday) are typically 10-15% cheaper than Friday/Sunday. Use Google Flights price tracking to monitor fare movements.
Should I get travel insurance for my holiday from Australia?
Yes — strongly recommended. Emergency medical evacuation from Asia or Europe can cost $50,000–$200,000 without insurance. A comprehensive policy typically costs $200–$600 for two people for 2 weeks, covering medical, cancellation, luggage and delays. Compare policies at Finder or Compare the Market. Note that many credit card travel insurance policies require you to purchase flights on that card.
