Half the fun of going on a holiday is the planning process. Researching your destination, deciding what time of year you want to travel, whether you want to use an agent or not, your budget and whether you’re going with friends or trekking solo. At Aussie Trains, we think the planning process, taking all these things into consideration, is worth the anticipation and excitement! In this post, we discuss four things you may want to consider before booking your next train holiday in Australia.
What Time of Year do You Want to Travel?
Before booking in an Australian train holiday, the first thing to consider is the best time of year to travel. Your job, annual leave, university commitments, peak periods, preferred weather and coordinating with others may all affect what time of year you are able to go.
The time of year may also help to determine the destination. If you are travelling to sunny Western Australia, on the Pilbara and West Coast Expedition for example, you’ll want to avoid the height of summer. If your work holidays are over the Christmas period and this is your only opportunity to get away, you may want to opt for a beachside getaway on the East Coast.
What Travel Agent do You Want to Use?
Once you know the time of year you want to take your train holiday, you’ll want to find a reputable travel agent that you can trust. Aussie Trains is one of Australia’s best when it comes to established train-based travel agents. From outback wilderness adventures to swimming with sharks, you’ll find whatever Australian adventure you’re looking for! Your travel agent at Aussie Trains will take you through all the possibilities when it comes to our train packages, including the type of accommodation, all the inclusions and every fun extra that you may want to add in to your red desert trek or leafy, natural getaway.
Standard or Premium Cabins?
Once you’ve hired Aussie Trains as your travel expert, we’ll offer you the opportunity to stay in a standard cabin or a premium cabin on board. Depending on your budget, the tour package you choose and who you’re travelling with, we’ll help you to find an accommodation option that suits you. On the Red Centre Spectacular tour for example, you have the option of staying in a Gold Twin cabin, a Gold Single cabin or a Platinum cabin.
What is the Cancellation Policy?
It is important to review the cancellation policy when booking your tour, because you never know what is going to come up! Whether an emergency, a weather event or a worldwide pandemic, it’s always best to have the assurance that you can cancel or change your booking without losing all of your deposit. To find out more about the cancellation policy of your individual tour or travel package, get in touch with your friendly travel agent and they will talk you through your options.
