United Airlines to New York City: Sydney from $1063 Return - Oct 2026 to Aug 2027
About the Airline
These fares are with United Airlines, a large US carrier with significant Pacific and North American coverage. United is a founding member of Star Alliance and partners with Air New Zealand, Singapore Airlines and other Star Alliance airlines, so these flights are a good way to earn points with a Star Alliance frequent flyer program. More on the airline and its network is in our United Airlines airline guide.
United doesn’t fly non-stop between Sydney and New York, so these itineraries connect in either Los Angeles or San Francisco, depending on the day you travel. For an overview of each airport and its connection times, see Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO) on MinimumConnectionTime.com. You’ll clear US immigration and customs at your first point of entry before the onward flight to New York, so check the minimum connection time against your itinerary before you book.
About the Destination
New York City needs little introduction: Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and MoMA, the view from the Top of the Rock or the Empire State Building, and the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island by ferry from Lower Manhattan. Beyond Manhattan, Brooklyn’s DUMBO and Williamsburg neighbourhoods and the walk across the Brooklyn Bridge are well worth a day. Autumn (October and November) brings changing leaves and mild weather, December has the Rockefeller Center tree and holiday windows, and spring is a pleasant alternative to the humid peak of summer. See the official New York City tourism site for attractions and planning tips.
