Award Deal — Details

We’re seeing business class availability on flights operated by American Airlines from Los Angeles to Australia over the next few months.

While there’s availability for up to 2 passengers on most dates, you might get lucky and find up to 4 business class seats on some dates to Sydney.

These nonstop flights can be booked starting at 93,500 miles. Those departing from other cities should be able to find these flights and pair them with a connection on a domestic AA flight to get to a starting point for these award tickets.

  • Class: Business
  • Route: Los Angeles (LAX) to Sydney (SYD)
  • Cost: From 93,500 American Airlines miles plus $27.50
  • Travel dates: July to August 2026
  • Award seats: Up to 2 passengers on most dates; scattered dates with up to 4 seats

To compare multiple dates at once, you can use a tool like Seats.aero to help you find award space.

How To Book

Some dates are bookable for up to 4 passengers on this route; however, you’ll likely find most dates with only 2 seats available, so flexibility can be helpful if you need seats for multiple passengers.

These seats are available through the American Airlines AAdvantage program. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to earn American AAdvantage miles.

American Airlines has several co-branded credit cards available, and you can transfer Citi ThankYou Points to AA at a 1:1 ratio if you have an eligible Citi credit card. Additionally, you can earn Marriott Bonvoy points and transfer those to American Airlines at a rate of 3:1. You can also earn AA miles by dining out, shopping online, and other non-travel activities.

Final Thoughts

Planning a trip to Australia in style just got easier, thanks to award availability using American Airlines miles. Flights are available nonstop from Los Angeles to Sydney for the next several weeks if you’ve got time off and want to book a great deal.
