More Flight Options to Austalia

Watch for better prices on flights to the Land Down Under! The traditional routing for Canadians and Americans heading to Australia is to connect through Los Angeles. With direct flights currently being offered by United Airlines and Qantas, Qantas has long been known as the dominate carrier on this route.



That may all change as Delta Airlines have announced starting in July they are going to begin direct, non-stop service between LA and Sydney. Additionally, British billionaire Richard Branson is starting up a new airline to service the routing as well called V-Australia. V-Australia, a sister airline to Virgin Atlantic, is slated to begin service this coming February.


We also have options to fly using Air Canada through Vancouver giving Canadian a host of options when heading to Australia.



With the new flight options coming online, watch for some very competitive pricing as the airlines battle it out for market share on this long haul routing!
