Cheap flights from Adelaide

Being so central, flights to any coast in Australia can be very affordable (oh, and international flights too!).

We’re reader-supported and may be paid when you visit links to partner sites. We don’t compare all products in the market, but we’re working on it!

Adelaide is often overlooked when it comes to flights but its central location gives Adelaidians a chance to explore their own country at budget prices.

While international destinations aren’t quite as cheap, they’re still affordable with direct flights to Bali, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur available.
