Peak season
Holidaymakers love to take cheap flights to the Sunshine Coast for destinations such as Noosa, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba and Caloundra. The 60 km idyllic stretch of coast starts an hour north of Brisbane and ends at Cooloola, the jumping off point for Fraser Island. The Sunshine Coast offers great natural beauty and is well set up for tourism with plenty of resort style accommodation both in the lush hinterland and in the seaside towns all along the coastline. Noosa offers a more luxurious seaside escape, while the laid-back town of Caloundra is perfect for outdoor activities such as: surfing, kayaking and fishing. The peak tourist time, when the majority of sun-seekers arrive on flights to the Sunshine Coast, is the Christmas period up until the third week of January. This is a popular destination for families during school holidays and long weekends such as Easter, so you’ll need to book flights and accommodation well in advance.
Off Season
The low season is from after Easter through to mid-September. This is becoming an increasingly popular time to visit and when many visitors seek flights to the Sunshine Coast from the cooler southern states to relax on sunny beaches.
You should be able to get a reasonably priced flight to the Sunshine Coast at any time of year. In general in the low season months between June and September are the best times to look for the cheapest flights to the Sunshine Coast. If you want to fully appreciate the numerous beaches and outdoor activities the area offers, then October to February, outside of school holidays can offer flight ticket bargains.

I felt like I was cattle on a cattle truck. Albeit, a politely treated steer! Packed flight sitting next to morbidly obese couple spilling into my seat; baby screaming behind me; food/drink cart passed me by without offering me anything. Definitely not a flight for a business traveller!
