Travel in city Melbourne

Pack your stuff, throw it in a camper van along with a surfboard and don’t look back… This might be an old cliché but it’s one for good reason: Australia really is one of the best places on Earth for a road trip.

This year is shaping up to be a “year of contrasts” for the Asia Pacific hotel market, according to real estate services company JLL.

Qatar Airways announced that it intends to acquire a 25% stake in Virgin Australia as part of a deal that could drive more competition in the Australian market.

If you’ve long wished to explore the Outback, but don't want to give up your job, there's a way to live out your day dream—Australia's Working Holiday visa programs are a great option for people between 18 and 30 years old (35 in a few cases) to live and work in Australia for the short-term.

A man was arrested after climbing out of a plane's emergency exit on Thursday, airline Jetstar confirmed to Australian media.

Jetstar Asia (3K) has announced it will become the only low-cost carrier to fly direct from Singapore to Colombo, Sri Lanka, when the new service takes off on 21 November 2024.

When it comes to cruising, Australia and New Zealand are often intertwined into a single sailing — these two countries have a complementary relationship, offering a diverse array of attractions and experiences. Plus, their relative geographic proximity makes it convenient to check both of these bucket list destinations off your list simultaneously, creating one unforgettable vacation.

Points and miles are an incredibly useful way to fly more cheaply and comfortably. However, using them also means that you will often have fewer options than if you bought your flight with cash. That's because airlines release limited award availability, especially when it comes to popular dates and routes.

I am not a hot-weather person. As soon as the thermometer starts climbing toward 80 degrees Fahrenheit, you'll find me indoors with the air conditioning blasting. So it should come as little surprise that I prefer to skip typical summer vacations to warm-weather destinations in favor of milder — or perhaps even snowy — climes.

Qatar Airways is proud to announce its latest partnership as the Official Title Partner and Official Airline Partner of The Qatar Airways British & Irish Lions Tour to Australia 2025.

A massive IT outage hit flights and travel hard on Friday, leaving one passenger with very little to show for his trip to the airport.

I had to fly from Melbourne, Australia, to Dubai with only a few weeks' notice, and unfortunately, airfares for direct flights were expensive.

“Low-cost” and “long-haul” can feel like oxymorons when it comes to airlines, with seat comfort often sacrificed for affordable fares. But with several new budget international airlines launching around the world in recent years, it’s possible to snag perfectly-bearable long-haul flights for under $500 roundtrip.

You don't have to be a die-hard Taylor Swift fan for the (record-breaking!) Eras Tour to be on your radar. Each weekend, she lights up the stage—there in her glittering prime, the lights refracting sequined stars off her silhouette every night—during over three hours of sparkly Broadwayesque performances, rolling into cities all over the globe from New York to Tokyo to Melbourne to Madrid. Finally, this summer, London gets its own taste of the Taylor Swift show. The Eras Tour has sold out eight dates at Wembley between June and August, equating to nearly one million Swifties descending on the city.

Cerulean waves crash into limestone cliffs and plump koalas doze in ghostly white gum trees on the wild southwestern coast of Victoria, a rugged natural wilderness within easy reach of Melbourne.
