Cheap flights from Sydney (SYD) to Dallas (DAL)

Dallas is a genuine nonstop destination from Sydney — Qantas flies it directly — but there's a detail worth knowing about the airport before you book. Here's what to expect flying from Sydney to Dallas.

Which airlines fly direct from Sydney to Dallas?

Qantas operates the only nonstop service on this pairing, flying an Airbus A380 daily between Sydney and Dallas. It's worth knowing that this nonstop flight lands at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), not Dallas Love Field (DAL) — Love Field is a domestic-only airport with no facility for international widebody arrivals, so no airline flies international services there from Australia. If your search or itinerary shows "DAL," double check which airport is actually attached to your booking.

• Qantas: the sole nonstop operator on this route, flying into Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) with its flagship A380.

Flight time from Sydney to Dallas?

The nonstop Qantas flight takes around 0 hours and 0 minutes — one of the longest scheduled nonstop flights in the world.

Fares typically rise around the US Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year period (late November to early January) and Australian summer school holidays. Shoulder months — February to April or September to October — tend to be calmer and cheaper.

Where is the airport in Dallas?

Flights from Sydney land at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), about 18km from downtown Dallas — not at the smaller Dallas Love Field (DAL) closer to the city centre, which handles only domestic US services. From DFW, options into the city include rental cars, taxis, ride-hail, and the DART Orange Line light rail, which connects the airport to downtown Dallas.

Visa and passport requirements for Australians flying to Dallas

Australia is a member of the US Visa Waiver Program, so eligible Australian passport holders travelling on an e-passport can apply online for an ESTA instead of a full visa, for tourism or business stays of up to 90 days. Apply a few days before you travel, and confirm your passport meets current validity requirements. Check the official US Customs and Border Protection site or Smartraveller before booking, since these rules can change.

Time difference between Sydney and Dallas

Sydney is typically 15 to 17 hours ahead of Dallas, the exact gap shifting with each hemisphere's daylight saving calendar.
