Destination Profile
The Pacific Ocean might be in the way, but it's still possible to hop on nonstop air links from places like Hawaii and Los Angeles to kick start your walkabout Down Under. If you're hunting for cheap flights to Australia from USA out of New York or Boston, you'll certainly need to throw in a layover along the way. But the journey is just the start. The adventure awaits after touchdown. Whether it's cool Melbourne and its sand-side bars in St Kilda, surf-mad Sydney, the swell-splattered Gold Coast, or the dusty wastelands of the Outback for glimpses of Uluru that have captured your imagination, you can rest assured it will be a trip to remember!
The Gold Coast rises above an azure sea with its glistening skyscrapers and world-class surf breaks.
Sydney Harbour bustles with life and comes crisscrossed by bridges and ferries. The Sydney Opera House stands here, and it's very much the heart of the metropolis.
Tasmania is an untouched isle, where rocky mountains descend to rainforests, and the Freycinet National Park counts white-sand beaches aplenty.
