When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in November around $731 and peak in March near $1,205, 65% dearer, across the 7 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 21.5 hours outbound, on a 7-night trip — ticketed under Air China, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $731 for 16,994 km each way, that works out to about $22 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $42 per 1,000 km that ultra-long-haul fares on this board typically run. Of the 30 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Sydney, this is the cheapest right now — 16% under the next one, Milan. The best time to be in Sydney: Oct–Nov · Mar–Apr.

Good to know
LON → SYD, answered.
Is $731 a good price for London to Sydney?
Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $1,080 round-trip. At $731 you're 32% below that, which we rate great for this route.
What is the cheapest month to fly from London to Sydney?
Across 7 months of cached-fare history, Nov comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Sydney are Oct–Nov · Mar–Apr — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book LON → Sydney?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 7 months of cached fares, Nov comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from London to Sydney?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Air China. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
