United Airlines has added more direct flights from San Francisco International Airport to Sydney, expanding the airline’s leadership position in overall service to Australia from the United States. The three weekly flights – starting on December 14 and scheduled through February 8 – will add to United’s existing daily service on this route for a total of ten weekly flights between Sydney and San Francisco. Tickets on board United’s Boeing 777-300ER are on sale now at united.com and on the United app.

This winter, United will offer more service to Australia than ever before and will offer more seats from the U.S. to Australia than any other airline. With the addition of Brisbane – which United will serve from San Francisco starting on October 28 – United will have non-stop service from the U.S. to each of Australia’s three largest cities, while no other U.S. carrier serves more than one location. United will serve six different non-stop routes in total, with non-stop flights originating in three different U.S. hubs.

In total, United will fly:

• San Francisco – Brisbane*, Melbourne and Sydney
• Los Angeles – Melbourne* and Sydney
• Houston – Sydney*

All Australia services are on Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, except for San Francisco to Sydney service, which is on 777-300ERs.

*Starting October 28 and subject to government approval
