Whether you love lounging on a white-sand beach, channeling your inner adrenaline junkie on an adventure tour, or experiencing extravagant art, food, and wine culture, we can all pretty much agree that Sydney, Australia is what dream vacations are made of.
But what about when the vacation’s over? Because a short-lived vacation sure is lovely...but when you stumble weary and jet-lagged into your front door, drop your keys, and crawl into bed after that international flight, there’s nothing more comforting than being home.
And the cost of “home” in San Antonio, TX is actually pretty comparable to the cost of this lavish air fare.
Hear us out: a round-trip ticket from San Antonio, TX to Sydney, AU averages out around $1,500. And, albeit a little less glamorous, the rental rates in SA (even despite rising property values and interest rates) still remain less expensive than the plane ticket to and from Australia’s premier city.
