Wondering whether now's a good time to book? Here's today's Savvy Score for every route we track from Australia to Asia — updated every morning. A high score means today's fare is genuinely cheap for that route; a low score means wait. As of 21 August 2026 (Sydney departures, best current booking window):

What the score means
The Savvy Score rates today's fare from 0 to 100 against that route's own recent price history — not against other destinations. 85+ is Rare (book now), 75–84 Hot, 65–74 Strong, then Dropping, Stable and Overpriced below that. Full detail: how the Savvy Score works. Wondering whether waiting for a sale would beat booking now? We tested that.
Scores refresh every morning around 6am AEST. For the live number and to set a price alert, open your route: Sydney to Bali, Sydney to Tokyo, Sydney to Bangkok, Sydney to Ho Chi Minh City, Sydney to Singapore, Sydney to Seoul, Sydney to Manila or Sydney to Kuala Lumpur.
