Cheapest time to fly to Da Nang

Fares kick off at AU$328, with May and the September-October window emerging as budget travellers' best friends. These shoulder seasons are a hidden gem—fewer tourists, delightful weather, and prices that won't make your wallet weep. September takes the crown for budget hunters, marking that sweet spot after summer crowds scatter but before the rain decides to party. 

Steer clear of December through February unless you're keen to pay premium rates, as perfect beach conditions align with Australian summer holidays. For the ultimate travel hack, target late February (post-Tet festivities) and early May – these periods serve up a perfect blend of comfortable conditions and wallet-friendly fares that'll have you grinning from ear to ear.

Just make sure your passport hasn't got one foot in the retirement home – it needs to be valid for at least six months after you plan to strut back home.
