Embark on an adventure in South-East Asia

If you're craving a cultural and tropical escape, South-East Asia has a wealth of exciting destinations that have become increasingly popular among Aussies. Why not head to Siem Reap in Cambodia to explore the breathtaking temples of Angkor Wat? If you prefer beaches and a laid-back vibe, Krabi in Thailand is the ideal spot for island-hopping, while Busuanga in the Philippines offers stunning natural beauty and world-class diving experiences in its pristine waters.

Discover the northern corners of Europe

For those dreaming of a cold-weather adventure, Europe's northernmost cities have also become very famous among travellers. Rovaniemi in Finland, the official hometown of Santa Claus, is a winter wonderland where you can experience the magic of the Arctic Circle. Similarly, Tromsø, in Norway, offers incredible opportunities to see the Northern Lights.

Go local and visit Aussies' favourite spots in the country

If staying closer to home is more your style, Australia itself has no shortage of incredible last-minute destinations. Sydney remains a favourite with its iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. For a different vibe, head to Melbourne, known for its vibrant arts scene, diverse food culture, and hidden laneways. Beyond these two, Aussies also flock to beautiful coastal spots like the Great Barrier Reef.

Last-minute travel tips and tricks with Opodo

Booking last-minute doesn't mean leaving everything to chance. In fact, with a few insider tricks, you can save money and ensure your trip goes off without a hitch. Here are some useful tips and tricks:

Be flexible with your travel dates

Being flexible with your travel dates can lead to great savings, as flights are often cheaper mid-week or early morning. Opodo can help you easily browse flexible options to find the best deals without compromising your adventure.

Consider alternative airports

Think beyond the obvious! While major airports are the go-to for many travellers, smaller or nearby airports could offer cheaper flights.
