Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific islands are among the longest trips from North America, with most flights crossing the Pacific overnight from the West Coast. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver and other western gateways are the usual departure points, and hubs such as Sydney, Auckland, Nadi and Papeete connect onward to smaller cities and islands. Because the seasons are reversed, the Christmas and summer holiday period Down Under is one of the busiest and priciest times to fly.
Cheap airfare to Australia & the South Pacific is mostly about timing and flexibility. Compare fares across airlines and nearby airports, shift your dates a few days either way, and book when the price looks right.
