Flights to Melbourne are becoming cheaper and cheaper. This is good news for those who want to travel to this wonderful city but were previously put off by the cost of airfares. You can get cheap flight Melbourne through two main airlines in Australia.

If you are traveling internationally then you will need to wait for your local carrier to have an airfare sale. It is the on the domestic market in Australia where the cheapest flights to Melbourne can be found.

Once you have arrived in Australia you will be able to fly to Melbourne from any major city. In recent years there have been a number of budget airlines which are competing with the once most popular Australian airline, QANTAS.

Virgin Blue and Jetstar Airlines now provide travelers with extremely affordable air tickets to Melbourne airport. When they are on sale, you can pick up a one way ticket from Sydney to Melbourne from as low as $60. That's cheaper than taking a bus!

Virgin Blue lands at Tullamarine Airport, which is Melbourne's largest and main airport. Jetstar normally arrive and depart from Avalon Airport which is about 50km from Melbourne CBD on the way to Geelong. Avalon Airport is a cut down version of a regular airport but their minimal facilities allow them to provide incredible discounts to travelers.

Tullamarine Melbourne Airport is just a short journey from the CBD and it is possible to get a bus or cab there for a minimal fee.

Jetstar and Virgin Blue are both reliable and professional flight services. Both undergo strict maintenance and of course comply with the strict Australian aircraft maintenance codes of practice.
