 Australia's newest airline by Gwynneth
Our major airlines can help you plan your trip. There are discounts for booking over the internet that aren't available any where else. If you would rather phone your bookings in, there are plenty of package deals and holiday escapes if you book in advance.
Qantas - arguably one of the best airlines in the world.
Virgin Blue - the newest airline to rival Australias committed customers, they offer amazing online discounts and one way tickets.
Both websites are shown below.

 Plane by Virgin Blue in
Melbourne by martin_nl
Australia's national carrier is Qantas and is excellent. I flew them from Europe to Australia and back and also from Australia to New Zealand. I also took two domestic flights from Darwin to Adelaide and from Adelaide to Sydney. The service is very good and the planes they fly are of the best quality. Click here to go to their website.
Virgin Blue I flew once from Melbourne to Darwin. This flight was also very good, but since they are a budget airline no food is served aboard the plane that is included in the ticket price. You have to buy everything yourself. Virgin Blue also flies to New Zealand and many Pacific Islands. Check out the site of Virgin Blue here.
Finally Jet Star is owned by Qantas and also is a low-coster. While I was in Australia they just started this airline up, and I read many negative reviews in the papers. However what can you expect from a low-coster? You just want the flight to be very cheap and safe. Jet Star flies mainly around in the eastern states, Tasmania and Adelaide. If you want to check out New Zealand... Jet Star also flies to Christchurch. You can check the rates here.
Do compare prices between all airlines before booking, because sometimes Qantas is the cheapest option, even though it's not a low coster. Also take into consideration, the purchase of food and drinks on the low costers that you have to add to the price of the cheap ticket. On Jet Star you can now also collect Qantas Frequent Flyer Points. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 Greyhound bus by bluesmama
There are many different passes to choose from; some with set routes and some where you purchase kms.
First time we had an "Aussie Highlights" buspass taking us round the east half of Australia. A 1-day tour of Kakadu and a 3-day tour around the Red Centre were included.
Second time we'd bought the "All Australian" pass, but we had to have at change since Louise had broken her ankle and we couldn't travel as fast as we needed. There were no problems in changing the bus pass at all!
Since I still haven't got a driver's license this will definitely be my mode of transport the next time in OZ as well. Leave a Comment

Their website is quite old and primitive- don´t get scared. I travelled with them many times.
