Fifteen hours over the Pacific — what the lie-flat seat was invented for.
Business class flights to Sydney land at Kingsford Smith (SYD), eight kilometres from the CBD. From the U.S., Qantas flies nonstop from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Dallas; United from SFO, LAX and Houston; American and Delta from LAX — 13.5 to 17 hours, all lie-flat.
From London, the kangaroo route runs one-stop via Singapore, Dubai or Doha. Qantas’ nonstop Project Sunrise flights from London and New York are slated for 2027 — as of August 2026, every itinerary still makes one stop.

| Route | Typical published fare | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| From the U.S. West Coast | $6,500–$12,000 round trip | As of August 2026; transpacific business retail is among the world’s priciest. |
| From the U.S. East Coast | $7,000–$13,000 round trip | One-stop via LAX, SFO, DFW or Auckland. |
| From London | £4,500–£8,000 round trip | Via Singapore, Dubai or Doha until the 2027 nonstops arrive. |
| Peak (Dec–Feb) | Top of the ranges above | Southern-summer holidays and New Year’s Eve sell out early. |
Sydney peaks in the southern summer, December through February, when holidays and the harbour’s New Year’s Eve sell cabins out — book 4–6 months ahead. The southern winter, May–August, is the soft season with the best pricing. Even off-peak, cabins are small relative to demand, so book 2–3 months out.
