When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in August around $690 and peak in October near $931, 35% dearer, across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes 2 stops and takes about 22 hours outbound, on a 21-night trip — ticketed under ANA, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $690 for 12,074 km each way, that works out to about $29 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. Across the 12 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Sydney, this fare ranks 2nd — 4% above the $663 from San Francisco. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 55 routes of similar length we watch out of Los Angeles, where the middle fare is $729. The best time to be in Sydney: Oct–Nov · Mar–Apr.

Good to know
LA → SYD, answered.
Is $690 a good price for Los Angeles to Sydney?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $745 round-trip and this fare is 7% under it. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Los Angeles to Sydney?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Aug 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 LA → 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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 4 months of cached fares, Aug comes out lowest on this route. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Los Angeles to Sydney?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under ANA. 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.
