Australia to California Travel Guide

California is one of the most popular states in the USA, reeling in over 260 million visitors each year.

Most people head for the Pacific coast where curving highways sew together big cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Santa Monica. And the national parks are basically one big travel bucket list – from wild Yosemite National Park to the desert-dry Joshua Tree National Park.

But how to get there? Direct flights jet off from a couple of Australian cities. You’re looking at around 16 hours’ flight time.

Some of the shortest flights are the direct ones. So you could hop on a flight from Sydney to Los Angeles or San Francisco (around 15 hours long). Flight times are an hour or two longer from southerly cities like Melbourne (17 hours).

Perth is too far away for a direct flight, so you’ll have to book an indirect flight to California. These can last from 22 hours long.

Over in the USA, California is your oyster. Los Angeles International Airport and San Francisco International Airport are the two big-hitters. Or there’s always San Diego International Airport, John Wayne International Airport in Santa Ana, or Palm Springs Airport.

California isn’t nicknamed the Golden State for nothing. This south-west corner of the USA ticks off sandy beaches, heat-struck deserts, sulphuric national parks – plus some of the most famous cities on the planet.

Book direct flights from Australia to California, and you could land in Los Angeles or San Francisco. Other popular routes include San Diego, near the Mexican border, and Sacramento, the historic state capital.

Spectacular scenery is never far away from the cities. The coastal Big Sur highway is one of the world’s most dramatic drives, while the Sierra Nevada mountains serve up Lake Tahoe and grand Yosemite National Park.
