I don't know any. But maybe u wanna seat those budget airlines like Jetstar?

Those are quite cheap.

But of course, the things provided are also very little too.

planning a trip to sydney during the june school holiday.

does anyone has a ‘cheaper than jetstar asia’ package to share?
jetstar offers tickets to sydney at about S$700 pp. i estimated hotel around S$200 p nite. so one week there will be around 6nite x S$200=S$1200. air tix for 3 = S$2100.

We went to Sydney with my 2 kids, aged 8 and 4 during the June School Holidays. Just to share the itinerary:


Day 1-2 : Mowbray Park Farmstay. The kids rode the tractor, fed the animals, rode horses, milk cow etc. Not cheap, in fact the most expensive accommodation we had on the trip. But I guess it was worth it as the kids have a taste of a working farm. And we slept in an old stone cottage…first time for all of us.

Day 3 : Trainworks. Rode on a steam train and visited the train museum

Day 4 : Blue Mountains Scenic World and explored the Blue Mountains area.

Day 5 : Featherdale Wildlife Park. Have to see Koalas and Kangaroos while in Australia !

Day 6 : Darling Harbour. Sydney Fish Market, Chinatown, Paddy’s Market. There is a large Playground (like our Pasir Ris Park Playground) at the Darling Harbour. The difference is the weather! The kids can stay there the whole morning without heat.

Day 7 : Opera House, Harbour Bridge, more shopping : QVB, Chinatown.

Day 8 : Back to SG

All in all, it was a fun and relaxing trip, where the kids get to be close to nature and animals. It was also the first time we travelled to Australia in Winter and we found it more enjoyable than travelling in Summer. Winter in Sydney City is not very cold, but very cold in the farm and Blue Mountains area.
