Destination guide

Sydney: Harbor, surf beaches and 14 hours from LA

Sydney is the far end of the map for US travelers, but nonstops from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston and New York make it a single long flight. The harbor, the Opera House, Bondi to Coogee and the Blue Mountains reward the journey.
