Catching up with family. Sharing a home-cooked meal. Hearing familiar voices again. For many in Australia, especially those with roots in South India, that feeling of going home is priceless. Now, it’s also far more affordable.
Malaysia Airlines is offering all-in return fares to Trivandrum from just $789—making that long-overdue trip to visit friends and family not just possible, but practical. Whether you’ve been putting it off due to cost, or waiting for the right moment—this might be it.
Nestled along Kerala’s coast, Trivandrum is more than just a gateway city. It’s a gentle welcome back. It’s the soft breeze off the Arabian Sea, the quiet warmth of old neighbourhoods, the pull of childhood memories. If you’ve never been to Kerala before, there’s no better time to start. And if you have, you already know—this place knows how to embrace you.
Fly into Trivandrum and you’re just a short drive from family homes in towns and villages across southern Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Whether it’s a festive reunion or just quality time with those you’ve missed, December holidays are the perfect excuse to book that ticket.
And here’s the bonus—if you’re travelling with kids or want to break up the journey, you can rope in a tropical stopover on the way. Malaysia Airlines offers smooth, well-timed connections with the option to pause in Kuala Lumpur. A night or two to explore bustling markets, try some satay and get a good rest? Yes, please.
The offer is valid for bookings made by 9 April 2025, with travel open until 15 December 2025—perfectly lining up with Christmas holidays, summer breaks and spontaneous “let’s go” moments. Flights from Perth start at $789 return, with Melbourne and Adelaide just a little higher at $919 return.
Going home has never felt so doable. No need to count annual leave days twice or watch ticket prices spiral. Just book, pack, and get ready to swap video calls for real hugs.
So, if it’s been years since your last visit—or you’re planning your very first trip to southern India—this is your window. Say yes to Kerala. Say yes to family. Say yes to you.
It’s time.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
