KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from New York to Sydney

  • Looking for a cheap flight? 25% of our users found flights on this route for $1,632 or less round-trip.
  • You have three airports to choose from for your travel to Sydney—either the John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), the LaGuardia Airport (LGA), or the Newark International Airport (EWR). Most flight deals operate out of the first two.
  • JFK is the largest of the airports and has a wider range of flight options. Furthermore, if you plan to travel by public transportation to the airport, it is better connected to the city center by subway lines A, E, and the AirTrain. Because it has the greatest variety of international flights, it is also one of the most crowded airports.
  • If you are trying to avoid crowds, do not plan to get to the airport during peak times. Traffic builds up on the city’s bridges and tunnels during rush hour, so be sure to leave plenty of time to get to the airport. Newark Airport can be reached by public transportation, although it requires various transfers. If you would prefer to get there via taxi, then EWR might be an even better option for you.
  • Sydney offers a wide range of services to get your trip off to the right start. There is free Wi-Fi across all terminals, a medical center (level 3 of Terminal 1), prayer rooms (level 3 of Terminal 1), a wide variety of airline lounges in all three airport terminals, currency exchange offices in all three airport terminals, and showers (near gates 31, 51 and 24).
  • Upon arrival to Sydney, you will be required to pass through the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service where you will need to show your passport, visa, and an incoming passenger card, which you should receive during your flight. Bear in mind that it is not permitted to record or photograph in these areas, and this is strictly enforced at the Sydney Airport.
  • Please also be sure to check the list of prohibited items before traveling. Certain foods, plant materials, and animal products are all prohibited and hefty fines will be enforced if these items are detected in your luggage upon passing through customs. Play it safe and be sure to declare anything you bring.
  • Shower facilities are plenty at JFK Airport in the following lounges: Wingtips Lounge in T4, American Airlines Admiral Club in T2, and Delta Club Lounge in T2 and T4. Facials, pedicures, manicures, and massages are also available at BeRelax and XpresSpa in T5 and T1, near Gates 3 and 6.
  • There are no direct, non-stop flights from Newark Airport (EWR) to Sydney Kingsford Airport (SYD). However, multiple airlines, including United Airlines, operate at least a one-stop flight from Newark Airport and New York John F Kennedy Airport (JFK) to SYD Airport.
  • Several lounges, including the Plaza Premium Lounge near Gate 24 and the Air New Zealand Lounge in Terminal 1, towards Gate 63, are available at Sydney Airport. All these lounges are open to all passengers, including arriving passengers, through lounge membership programs, a lounge pass, or by paying at the door. Lounge pass rates are around A$ 40. Services available at these lounges include shower facilities, free Wi-Fi access, flight monitoring information, TVs, rest areas, and food and beverages.
  • Newark Airport has a designated relief area, where you can take a pet for a potty break ahead of a flight. The Pet Relief Area is located just outside Terminal A, on the west side of the terminal. In Terminal B, the Pet Relief Area is on the south side of the terminal near Gate 57 B3 and Gate 65.
  • To catch up with an early morning flight from New York to Sydney at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), consider spending your night in the onsite TWA hotel. At Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), you may consider hotels near the airport. Among these hotels is Hilton Newark Airport.
  • One of the most cost-effective ways of spending your long layover as travelers whose flights have been delayed or have just arrived early for their flights from JFK to Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) is to visit the freely accessible observation decks. JFK's observation decks include Terminal 5's TWA hotel, which offers full views of the airport runways, and the departure level in Terminal 4.
  • After landing at SYD, you will afford to walk luggage-free thanks to the onsite free baggage trolleys, surcharged Luggage Wrapping services at Secure Travel, Terminal 1's Landside, next to Check-in D and H, and the Luggage Storage & Lockers at SmarteCarte in Terminal 1's arrivals level, opposite to Blooming Trails Florist.
