There’s a fantastic deal from the West Coast to Sydney for under $1,000 — and there’s wide open availability next year!

Here’s what you need to know.

Fare Deal — The Details

Check a few dates out on Google Flights and then book directly through United or an online travel agency (OTA) such as Expedia or Priceline. Keep in mind that the cheapest tickets are in United’s basic economy — among the most restrictive — but you can upgrade to regular economy for $200 more.

Class: Basic economy
Route: San Francisco (SFO) to Sydney (SYD)
Dates: January to November 2024

How To Book

There’s wide open availability throughout 2024 (except July, which has limited availability at the end of the month), so finding dates that work for you should be easy.

After picking travel dates, don’t forget to book your flights with a credit card that rewards you for flights, such as:

The Platinum Card^® from American Express: 5x Membership Rewards points on flights booked directly with the airline or through Amex Travel (capped at $500,000 spent in purchases per calendar year, then 1x points)
The Business Platinum Card^® from American Express: 5x Membership Rewards points on flights booked through Amex Travel
Chase Sapphire Reserve^®: 5x Ultimate Rewards points on flights booked through the Ultimate Rewards portal; 3x points on all other travel purchases
Chase Sapphire Preferred^® Card: 5x Ultimate Rewards points on flights booked through the Ultimate Rewards portal; 2x points on all other travel purchases
Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card: 5x Capital One miles on flights booked through Capital One Travel; 2x miles on all other purchases (including travel)

Final Thoughts

This is an excellent deal (even in basic economy) due to the wide open availability throughout 2024. Still, this deal isn’t likely to last forever, so if you want to visit Sydney, you should book now before it disappears!
