5 destinations you can visit for less than $500 in 2019

Travelling is now more accessible than ever before. You can grab flights on sale, sweet hotel deals and even snag yourself a free upgrade if you’re adept at sweet-talking the airline staff. However, the cost of living is high and very few of us have enough money saved up to jet off on holiday whenever we feel like it. Lucky for you, we spoke to the travel experts at Skyscanner to discover which international destinations you can visit for less than $500. So, if you’re looking for a way to spend that tax return – we’ve found it!

Right now, these are the 5 destinations you can visit for less than $500

  • You can get to Malaysia’s capital city, Kuala Lumpur, from $428.
  • Visit Phuket in Thailand from just $402
  • You can manage return flights to Singapore from just $497 per person
  • Holiday a little closer to home in Auckland, New Zealand, with flights from $434
  • If Bali is more your style you can reach Denpasar, Bali for just $433
