American Airlines is making getting to Australia more affordable with a new deal.
A flight to Australia is a long haul, so it’s nice when it isn’t a long haul on your pocket book. For a limited time, American Airlines is making a round trip flight to Sydney, Australia from the U.S. starting at $899, and one-way flights starting at only 30,000 miles.
The promotion from American's deal advertises a roundtrip starting price of $899, but T+L spotted some flights that are even lower. For example, a flight booked from Los Angeles (LAX) to Sydney on March 1, 2025 came in at $796 per person roundtrip. A roundtrip flight from Chicago (ORD) to Sydney came in at $852 per person.
There are some important restrictions for this deal. Flights are valid for reservations that are made between Feb 17, 2025 and March 2, 2025. Travel must be from the United States to Sydney (SYD) and booked for the following dates to get their special prices:
- January 15 to July 13, 2025
- July 24, 2025 to December 5, 2025
- December 23 to December 25, 2025
- January 15 to July 13, 2026.
American says some limited stopovers are allowed, but it will affect the flight cost. Basic Economy seats remain non-refundable. Seat assignments are only made at booking and upgrades may not always be allowed.
If you are redeeming miles for their one-way, 30,000 mile offer, availability is limited and only valid for U.S. flights in the 48 contiguous states to Australia. The offer is only for those reservations made from the U.S. made between February 17 and April 17, 2025 and for returning to the U.S between February 17 and April 1, 2025. Travel dates from the U.S. should be between March 10 and April 17, 2025 and returning to the U.S. between March 5 and April 1, 2025. Stopovers cannot be combined with this offer.
