Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Cairns Intl. Airport (CNS) to Whitsunday Airport (WSY) last minute?
When it comes to booking your flights, being prepared pays dividends. While you may be able to score a last-minute deal on a Cairns Airport to WSY flight, prices usually don't get cheaper as the date of departure nears. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the sweet spot to lock in a domestic flight is between 28 – 35 days ahead. For international flights it's between three and four months.
What airports do you fly into for Flametree from Cairns?
Whitsunday Airport (WSY), Great Barrier Reef Airport (HTI) and Whitsunday Coast Airport (PPP) are your choices when heading off from Cairns to Flametree. About 2 kilometers south of downtown Flametree, Whitsunday Airport (WSY) is the city's major gateway. Keep in mind factors like flight arrival and departure times and the distance to your hotel before deciding where you fly into. Airlie Beach Market and Boathaven Beach are two great attractions to put on your itinerary when you get to your destination.
Can I change the date of my flight from CNS to WSY?
Quickly make changes to your CNS to Whitsunday Airport (WSY) trip by logging in to the Expedia Trips portal. But before you make any amendments, check the fare rules in your itinerary to see what the carrier will let you do and whether fees apply. Some airlines have a change fee per person, on top of any difference in fares. But if you booked in the last 24 hours, you may be able to cancel for free and book new flights.
