Top destinations in Asia from Australia

Australians love heading to Asia for beach breaks, family reunions, shopping trips, and everything in between. If you’re planning your next getaway, here are three of the most popular spots you can fly to from Australia:


Indonesia

Indonesia recently overtook New Zealand as the top destination for Australian travellers. Most trips are for holidays, with Bali leading the way thanks to its beaches, resorts, and nightlife.


But many Aussies are also exploring beyond Bali to places like Lombok, Yogyakarta, and Komodo. With direct flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, it’s an easy and affordable escape. Discover more about Indonesia by checking out our Indonesia travel guide.


Japan

Japan is currently the third most popular destination for Australians heading overseas. Tourism spans across the entire country, from Tokyo and Osaka to Kyoto and Hokkaido.


Direct connections from Australia make it simple to plan anything from a short getaway to a longer trip, and seasonal events like cherry blossom festivals draw many Aussies back year after year.

Bangkok, Thailand

Thailand

Thailand is a long-time favourite for Australian travellers. Bangkok is a major hub with daily connections from Sydney and Melbourne, while destinations like Phuket, Koh Samui, and Chiang Mai attract holidaymakers year-round.


Many Aussies head for the beaches and islands, but the food, culture, and affordable prices make Thailand just as popular for city breaks and longer trips. Need some inspiration? Read our Thailand travel guide.
