10 of the best destinations for a 10-day getaway

The perfect destinations for a quick holiday.

While we would all love to pack up and head off on a long and luxurious holiday overseas, the reality is that many people simply can’t afford it. A quick, 10-day getaway, however, is significantly more achievable, and more affordable.

We worked with Skyscanner to come up with a list of destinations that are perfect for a quick holiday, by pinpointing locations that have a flight time of 10 hours or less from Australia. That way, you won’t waste those precious days of annual leave up in the air. Rather, your flights will be shorter, be more affordable and far easier to endure than a 27-hour flight to America. Although, some of the flight times will vary slightly, depending on what state you’re in.

Best of all, these destinations are geared up for tourists, are family friendly, and affordable for the average traveller.
