Whether you’re dreaming of sipping cocktails beachside in Bora Bora or fantasising about taste testing every croissant and pain au chocolat in as many Parisian patisseries as possible, we don’t need to tell you that travel doesn’t come cheap. But, with a bit of forward planning and savvy spending habits, you can save a pretty penny with the End Of Financial Year (EOFY) flight sales.

Although it’s too early to know what the 2025 EOFY flight sales are going to be, here’s how to best prep yourself to maximise your savings when all the sales drop.

EOFY, an acronym for End Of Financial Year, is exactly what it says on the tin. It marks the end of the financial year here in Australia (as opposed to the calendar year, which ends in December).

Different countries have different financial year periods, but in Australia the end of the financial year is 30 June. Businesses finalise their accounts during this period and many also drop huge sales to help clear stock before the new year, including airlines and travel companies. It’s the perfect time to take advantage of cut-throat prices and score a bargain on airfares for your upcoming trip.

While it’s still too early for many airlines and brands to announce the deals they’re planning, looking back at last year’s sales could be a crystal ball into what to expect in 2025.

Here are a few major flight deals for Australians during 2024’s EOFY sales:

While 2025’s deals are still under wraps, we are waiting with bated breath to see what amazing bargains drop this time around. Keep checking back here for announcements — if history is anything to go by, these money-saving deals will be snapped up fast

Fortunately, EOFY rolls around the same time every year, making it convenient to predict when the sales are on their way. EOFY is the end of June, so the EOFY sales will typically start dropping around mid-June and are limited-time only. While some offers will last until early July, many are gone for good as soon as they sell out.

Don’t waste any time if you’ve got your eye on a hot flight deal, as these sales are incredibly popular with travellers eyeing off a bargain. Lock in the savings and press that “book now” button before someone else beats you to the punch. We recommend setting reminders, downloading the Traveloka app, and make sure you’re ready to roll when the best deals come!

So, you’re ready to grab a bargain when the EOFY flight sales land and want to ensure you’re able to scoop up some huge savings. Below, Traveloka shares our best tips and tricks for nailing the sales season.

Figure out where and when you want to travel to before the EOFY sales drop. When you have a clear itinerary ahead of time, you’ll know exactly which flights you’re aiming for and be able to make quick and confident decisions. Don’t forget to be flexible, however! Flying on weekdays or during the off-peak season can help you save even more cash.

Don’t get too caught up in the moment and spend more on flights than you’re comfortable with. Keep the adrenaline at bay when booking on-sale airfares by using Traveloka’s intuitive filters to search by price range.

Don’t let your finger linger over the “book now” button. EOFY sales are competitive, and the best deals sell out quickly. If you see an offer that aligns with your plans, snap it up — it might not be there for long and you don’t want to miss out.

Even if you’ve planned ahead, sometimes things can change for unforeseeable reasons. Ensure your bookings offer refund or rescheduling options. Traveloka makes these details clear so you can book with confidence.
