No attempt to make you comfortable. All they care about is how can they pack more people on the plane and how can they charge you for as much as possible. I find it invasive and discriminatory that you weigh my carryon (or any of my naggage frankly). If I physically weighed 15kilos more and my bag weighed under your stupid and arbitrary weight limit I would not be charged... but if I'm a person who is skinny and weighs less, well heaven forbid my bag is 1 kilo heavier than you wish!! $$$ VERY VERY DISCRIMINATORY POLICY!! NEXT TIME I'LL TRY TO EAT MY BAGGAGE SO THAT I CAN TAKE ON AS MUCH WEIGHT AS I WANT! Yeah... sounds ridiculous doesn't it!? No more ridiculous than you charging more for people who bring more baggage weight while letting obese people carry on all the weight they want! It just proves it has absolutely nothing to do with safety, or even your operating costs... Just squeezing as much money out of us as possible!!

    You’ll find different flight options for a trip to the United States at three of Australia’s five largest airports. Flights depart daily from Sydney Airport as well as airports in both Melbourne and Perth. The United States has an immense number of airports and most serve the significant carriers offering flights originating from airports in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth.

Only eight km from Sydney’s CBD, the Sydney Airport is accessible by taxi, shuttle, or ride-share services. There is also a direct train link into the city, with a station conveniently located at the northern end of the terminal. Melbourne International Airport or Perth International Airport also offer service to carriers from the United States, with flight times varying from 13+ to 16+ hours, or more. Vehicle trips from the Melbourne city center to its airport takes roughly half of an hour, while the drive from the Perth CBD to the airport is 15-20 minutes.

Many flights also schedule a stopover in Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport is a frequent stop, and some travelers aboard Air Tahiti Nui flights arriving in Los Angeles will book specifically for the stopover option in Papeete.

  • What are the most eco-friendly airlines from Australia to the USA?

    Delta and United Airlines are two of the most eco-friendly carriers with flights to the USA from Australia. These airlines have taken several measures to ensure low carbon emissions and sustainable travel, including providing a direct flight from Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Individually, both airlines have also taken several measures to ensure low carbon emissions. For instance, Delta has replaced most of its old fleet with the newer and more efficient A321s and A220s. They also have over the years invested heavily in carbon offsets and ran offsetting programs, and now, they are flying lighter aircraft, thanks to their new wireless in-flight entertainment system. Similarly, United Airlines is determined to reduce its carbon footprint. Most of their old fleet has been replaced by new ones with improved efficiency and lower emissions. They have also increased the economy class capacity, and they now ferry more passengers, meaning less carbon produced per passenger.

  • How can I fly more sustainably from Australia to the USA?

    Passengers also have a role to play in the fight for sustainable travel. There are these steps you can take to ensure you fly more sustainably. First, prioritize direct flights over connecting flights. Direct flights take off and land only once, meaning less pollution since these are the most polluting flight activities. Second, pack light. Stick to the airline's baggage weight limits to avoid overloading since it causes more fuel to be used and more pollution. Finally, avoid single-use plastics and disposable headphones. Instead, bring your own reusable bottles and headphones.
