5 Things to Consider When Planning A Domestic Holiday


With Australia’s international borders still closed for the foreseeable future, a lot of us are turning to domestic travel (or New Zealand) as a way of fulfilling the travel bug need. Whilst a domestic trip might be easier to plan, it’s still important to cover all your bases and ensure your well planned. 

We’ve compiled a checklist of things to consider when planning a domestic holiday in Australia. 


Where do you want to go? 


One of the first things you’ll want to decide from the get-go is where you want to go. Without a destination in mind, there’s really no direction to take.  

Do some research on places that might interest you and ask the following questions: 

Are you looking for coastal or country? 

Do you want somewhere remote or urban? 

How far are you willing to fly? 

Once you’ve decided on your location, we recommend taking time to research the best flight deals or wait for an upcoming sale.  


Who Will Be Coming With You? 


Your travel companions can sometimes determine the location of your trip. So it’s important to consider who will be joining you. If you’re travelling with young children, taking them somewhere remote with minimal access to public toilets, hospitals, groceries stores etc, could be a gamble. Similarly, if you and your friend want some peace and quiet, it’s probably not a good idea to visit a busy city.  


What’s Your Budget? 


We all like to shoot for the stars when it comes to going on holiday. But sometimes choosing an extravagant location, with high priced accommodation, simply isn’t an option. Set a realistic budget for your trip and ensure that you stick to it. Sometimes developing a price breakdown can be useful for providing insight on the cost of everything.  


How Long Will You Be Away For? 


This point will also tie into your budget. If you’re planning on going away for two weeks, but only have a limited budget, it might be best to hold off and save for a little bit longer. Also deciding how long you’re away for will help organise elements such as taking time off work, finding someone to look after any pets or possibly organising a house sitter.

  

How Will You Get to The Airport? 


The final element you’ll want to consider, is how you’re going to get to the airport. Save the hassle of paying exuberant prices for Ubers or stressing over possible public transport delays and drive yourself to the airport.
