Travel tips

What to know before you go.

Book at least seven days ahead during school holidays, the Easter long weekend, and the Christmas–New Year period. Long-haul corridors fill quickly during these windows and same-day fares can be double the advance-purchase price. Outback corridors have long stretches with no phone reception. Download offline maps and entertainment before you board. Wet season (November to April) can flood sections of the highway, so build a flexible day into your itinerary if you're travelling then. Arrive at the terminal at least 15 minutes before departure. Most operators begin boarding 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time and won't hold the coach for late passengers. Pack snacks and a refillable water bottle. Rest stop options on regional corridors are sparse, particularly between major towns. Check the operator's luggage policy before you travel. Most include one checked bag (typically 20 kg) and one carry-on, but allowances vary by carrier and additional bags usually attract a fee.
