Exclusive: Hanjin Travel Unveils 2027 Australian Open Tennis Tour Package Combining Grand Slam Action with Sydney-Melbourne Adventure
Official Announcement: A Package Built for Tennis Fans
Hanjin Travel has officially launched its “2027 Australian Open Tennis Observation & Sydney-Melbourne 6-Day Tour” package, designed for fans eager to experience the intensity of the Grand Slam alongside Australia’s cultural highlights. The package, set to depart on January 18, 2027, includes:
- Three days of match viewing at Melbourne Park, home to the Australian Open since 1988
- Two Center Court sessions at Rod Laver Arena, where the biggest matches of the tournament are held
- One Grounds Pass for unlimited access to outer courts and festival zones
- Six days of guided exploration in Sydney and Melbourne, including iconic landmarks and natural wonders
- Direct flights via Asiana Airlines from South Korea to Melbourne
The Grand Slam Experience
The Australian Open isn’t just a tournament—it’s a cultural phenomenon. Held annually in late January, the event attracts over 700,000 spectators and features the world’s top tennis players competing for the prestigious title. The 2027 edition will run from January 16 to 28, with the final scheduled for January 28, 2027.
Rod Laver Arena: The Heart of the Australian Open
As the primary venue for the Australian Open, Rod Laver Arena has hosted legendary matches, including Novak Djokovic’s record-breaking 10th title in 2023. The arena’s retractable roof and state-of-the-art facilities make it one of the most advanced tennis stadiums in the world. Fans in this package will have the chance to secure seats in the main stadium for the biggest matches, as well as explore the vibrant atmosphere of the outer courts.
Why This Package Stands Out
While many travel packages offer general tourism experiences, Hanjin Travel’s offering is tailored specifically for tennis fans who want to immerse themselves in the sport while also experiencing Australia’s rich cultural landscape. Here’s what makes this package unique:
The package includes two Center Court sessions, ensuring fans don’t miss the biggest matches of the tournament. These sessions provide prime viewing of semifinals and finals, where the world’s top players battle for supremacy.
A Grounds Pass allows unlimited access to the outer courts, where fans can watch rising stars compete in qualifying rounds and early matches. This pass also grants access to the festival zones, where live music, food stalls, and cultural performances create a lively atmosphere.
Beyond the tennis, the package includes guided tours of Melbourne’s historic Flinders Street Station, the iconic Victorian Parliament House, and the City Circle Tram. In Sydney, visitors will explore the Blue Mountains National Park, home to the famous Three Sisters rock formation, and the Sydney Opera House.
The package also includes a visit to Sydney Zoo, where fans can get up close with Australia’s unique wildlife, including koalas, kangaroos, and platypuses.
Travel Logistics: Seamless and Convenient
The package is designed with convenience in mind. Departures will be on January 18, 2027, from South Korea via Asiana Airlines’ direct flights to Melbourne. The return date is set for January 24, 2027, ensuring fans have ample time to experience both the tournament and the cities.
Melbourne’s Climate: January in Melbourne typically sees temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F), making it an ideal time to explore the city and enjoy outdoor activities. The Australian Open is held in late January, so fans can expect warm, sunny days perfect for tennis and sightseeing.
