Fares to and from Canberra remain relatively low. This provides opportunities for a greater proportion of the population to travel by air and acts as a catalyst for long-term passenger growth. Examples of the new low air fares are shown in Table 5.1 although fares do vary by fare type and time of travel. One-off fare sales have seen prices drop even further, with one-way fares to Sydney as low as $19, and Adelaide, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Melbourne as low as $39. The availability of discount seats has also increased, with deeply discounted fares available for booking closer to travel and at a wider range of times than previously.
