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 29 September 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.
Prices are the best-scoring fare on each Sydney-origin route as of the date shown, from fares we track daily; they move through the day and with your travel dates. Fares marked "1 stop" are the best-scoring option on that route today; the rest are nonstop.
