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.
