When are the 2019 Easter holidays?
School holidays are some of the busiest periods in the travel calendar and, for some, they’re the only time that a holiday is feasible. With so much riding on booking the right flight, picking the perfect Easter holiday destination for 2019 has huge importance.
Easter Sunday falls on 21 April in 2019. This is sandwiched between the national holidays of Good Friday (19 April) and Easter Monday (22 April). Tasmania also celebrates Easter Tuesday on 23 April. These celebrations are closely followed this year by Anzac Day (25 April)
School holidays vary across the country:
| State | 2019 Easter holidays |
|---|---|
| Australian Capital Territory | 13 April – 28 April |
| New South Wales | 13 April – 28 April |
| Northern Territory | 13 April – 22 April |
| Queensland | 6 April – 22 April |
| South Australia | 13 April – 28 April |
| Tasmania | 13 April – 28 April |
| Victoria | 6 April – 22 April |
| Western Australia | 13 April – 28 April |
Flight (and accommodation) prices tend to go up the closer you get to your departure date, but as a general rule Skyscanner research has found that the best time to book domestic flights is 22 weeks before you want to fly.
