Australians planning their next getaway can now snag coach fares for as little as $10, with FlixBus celebrating its first birthday by slashing prices across its East Coast network.
The coach operator is marking one year in Australia with a seat sale running until 23rd November 2026, covering travel between 10th November 2026 and 30th April 2027.
There’s no discount code required. Travellers can book directly through the FlixBus website or app, although $10 seats are limited.
From two routes to 40+ destinations
When FlixBus launched in Australia in November 2025, it connected Melbourne and Sydney, and Canberra and Sydney.
A year later, its network spans NSW, Victoria, the ACT and Queensland, with six major hubs in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Bundaberg and Cairns.
New connections include Sydney to Brisbane, Brisbane to Bundaberg, Bundaberg to Cairns and the recently launched Parramatta–Western Sydney International Airport–Canberra route. Seasonal services also connect Sydney and Canberra with the Snowy Mountains.
Where can you go for $10?
The expanded network connects travellers with some of Australia’s most popular coastal and regional destinations.
- Sydney to Brisbane: Discover Port Macquarie’s beaches, Byron Bay’s surf culture and the lively beachfront of Surfers Paradise.
- Sydney to Canberra: Swap the drive for a weekend of national museums, galleries and gardens in the capital.
- Sydney to Melbourne: Travel via Canberra and Albury, where the Murray River and local wineries offer reasons to stop along the way.
- Brisbane to Bundaberg: Explore Noosa Heads, Rainbow Beach and the gateway to K’gari.
- Bundaberg to Cairns: Connect with Mackay, Airlie Beach, Townsville and tropical North Queensland, with the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest awaiting in Cairns.
- Parramatta to Canberra: A convenient new connection for Western Sydney, with a stop at Western Sydney International Airport and Goulburn along the way.
FlixBus plans to expand further in Australia
FlixBus Australia Managing Director Yvan Lefranc-Morin says the birthday sale is a thank you to passengers who have supported the company’s first year.
“This is our way of welcoming even more travellers on board and giving them a shared, more affordable way to get around,” he says.
He also confirmed the company plans to grow its Australian network by working with more local bus operators. “Our goal is to give travellers an alternative way to explore, so more people can discover the best of what Australia has to offer and reach destinations that would usually need a flight or a car.”
How to book $10 FlixBus tickets
The birthday sale is available until 23rd November 2026, for travel from 10th November 2026 to 30th April 2027.
Fares start at $10 on direct trips across the East Coast network. No promo code is needed, and bookings can be made through here or on the FlixBus app.
With more than 40 destinations now connected, FlixBus is giving Australians another reason to plan a getaway without the expense of driving or flying. Beat the rush and lock in a $10 seat while they’re still available.
