Tips for First-Time Travellers to Sydney
- Be prepared for the humidity. Upon landing on Auckland to Sydney flights, it's almost impossible not to be hit by the humidity - and it may definitely come as a surprise to those not up with Sydney's weather conditions. Of course, this is Australia so be sure to pack plenty of sunscreen in the luggage you're taking with you on flights Auckland to Sydney.
- Navigating the CBD roads can be tough so consider this before booking a hire car. Many of Sydney's roads become one way-only or veer in off-shoot directions, so it can pay to have a GPS on hand, or to download city maps in advance.
- You need an Opal card to use public transport. Pick one up from train stations or convenience stores upon touching down on your tickets to Sydney from Auckland, and don't forget to touch on and touch off as you leave each train or bus.
- Bars, pubs and nightclubs are bound by the city's lock-out laws (coming into force at 1.30am) so make sure you're inside before then.
The Best Time to Travel on Cheap Flights to Sydney from Auckland
