However, the best availability for this deal was for flights out of Miami. Delta Air Lines is offering round-trip itineraries from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Sydney in late September for as low as $933, with a layover in Los Angeles each way.
According to Google Flights data, this is a huge discount from what this route typically sells for during this time of year.
This same itinerary was up for grabs at the same price in October and November.
We don’t usually include routes with more than one stop each way, but this deal out of Charlotte was too good to not mention. You can get Delta tickets from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) to Sydney for only $937 round-trip.
Yes, there are stops in both Atlanta and Los Angeles each way, but that’s a huge discount for this route. The example included below is a January itinerary, but you could fly this same route in November and December as well.
We found fantastic prices for flights to Australia from Dallas. Delta Air Lines has fares from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to Sydney in November for $933 round-trip.
We’ll end with a fare out of the West Coast. Hawaiian Airlines has tickets from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Sydney (with a layover in Honolulu) starting at $833 for a round-trip ticket in the fall.
