Flying American Airlines from Australia
American Airlines is one of the largest airlines in the world and a founding member of the Oneworld alliance. It reaches Australia through its long-running joint business with Qantas — flying non-stop from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to Dallas/Fort Worth and from Brisbane to Los Angeles, then onward to hundreds of cities across the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
Whether Dallas or Los Angeles is your destination or your gateway to the rest of the Americas, American gives Australian travellers deep access to the US on a single ticket. Below you'll find its routes from Australia, cabins, the AAdvantage program and fleet, so you can choose the right flight and book with iFly.au when you're ready.
