| How Long Is The Flight From Sydney To America |
Hold Your Koalas, It Depends...A Lot
Unlike your average trip to Tasmania (unless you're paddling there on a pool float), America is a big, sprawling beast of a country. Flying to Sydney from the West Coast (think Los Angeles, San Francisco) is a different beast altogether compared to hitting the East Coast (New York City, Miami). We're talking about Pacific Ocean vs. a quick hop over the ditch.
QuickTip: Read section by section for better flow.
Here's the skinny:
- East Coast Escapade: Buckle in for a marathon, mate. We're talking 15 to 25 hours depending on if you score a direct flight (think superhero stamina needed) or one with layovers that could rival a season of Survivor.
- West Coast Chill Out: This is a much more manageable 13 to 19 hour journey. You might even have time to watch all the Lord of the Rings movies (extended editions, of course).
Don't Forget the Fun Part: Flightmares (and Dreams!)
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.
Let's be honest, a Sydney to America flight is a long haul. Here's how to make the most of it:
- Become a Movie Marathon Master: Download all the flicks you've been meaning to watch. Bonus points for documentaries about different parts of America to get you pumped.
- Channel Your Inner Chef (or Snackrifice): Pack plenty of your favourite treats (goodbye Tim Tams, hello jumbo bag of M&Ms). Airlines snacks are...well, airline snacks.
- Befriend the Window (or Aisle): Window seat for epic sunrises and gazing out at the endless ocean? Aisle seat for leg stretches and becoming BFFs with your neighbour (hopefully not a screamer)? The choice is yours!
