    You’ll find different flight options for a trip to the United States at three of Australia’s five largest airports.

There is also a direct train link into the city, with a station conveniently located at the northern end of the terminal. Melbourne International Airport or Perth International Airport also offer service to carriers from the United States, with flight times varying from 13+ to 16+ hours, or more. Vehicle trips from the Melbourne city center to its airport takes roughly half of an hour, while the drive from the Perth CBD to the airport is 15-20 minutes.

    Delta and United Airlines are two of the most eco-friendly carriers with flights to the USA from Australia. These airlines have taken several measures to ensure low carbon emissions and sustainable travel, including providing a direct flight from Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Individually, both airlines have also taken several measures to ensure low carbon emissions. For instance, Delta has replaced most of its old fleet with the newer and more efficient A321s and A220s. They also have over the years invested heavily in carbon offsets and ran offsetting programs, and now, they are flying lighter aircraft, thanks to their new wireless in-flight entertainment system. Similarly, United Airlines is determined to reduce its carbon footprint. Most of their old fleet has been replaced by new ones with improved efficiency and lower emissions. They have also increased the economy class capacity, and they now ferry more passengers, meaning less carbon produced per passenger.

  • How can I fly more sustainably from Australia to the USA?

    Passengers also have a role to play in the fight for sustainable travel. There are these steps you can take to ensure you fly more sustainably. First, prioritize direct flights over connecting flights. Direct flights take off and land only once, meaning less pollution since these are the most polluting flight activities. Second, pack light. Stick to the airline's baggage weight limits to avoid overloading since it causes more fuel to be used and more pollution. Finally, avoid single-use plastics and disposable headphones. Instead, bring your own reusable bottles and headphones.
