How long does it take to fly to Australia?

It takes quite a long time, but if you ask anyone who has done it before we'll bet they all say that it was well worth it and an experience of a lifetime! It takes between 13.5 to 14 hours to fly from Los Angeles to Sydney. The time variance is based on flight path and wind speeds/direction. If you are coming from the East Coast it takes an additional (apprx) 4-5 hours from Orlando or New York to get to Los Angeles. With this in mind as well as calculating your 2-3 hour layover in Los Angeles and airport travel time, you could say that from the East Coast it takes about 24 hours in total. Some folks decide to stay a day or two in Los Angeles on route to break up the trip.
