Top tips for finding a cheap flight from San Francisco to Adelaide

  • When you arrive at your connecting airport in Australia, you may need to move from the international terminal to the domestic terminal. Some flights with a stopover at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) involve self-transfer, so you'll need to make sure you have plenty of time to move to the domestic terminal and check in again. At Sydney and Brisbane Airport (BNE), there are buses connecting the two terminals. At Melbourne Airport (MEL), the terminals are within walking distance of each other.
  • If you're flying on a route operated by two airlines, such as United and Qantas, double-check which airline's luggage rules apply to your flight. It's usually the airline operating the bulk of the trip, but it's always best to double-check.
  • Generally, on United Airlines flights to Australia, you'll get up to two checked bags included in your ticket. Each bag can weigh up to 23 kg. You can also bring one carry-on item and one personal item. Your checked bag must be 76 x 51 x 30 cm or smaller and your carry-on item needs to be 23 x 35 x 56 cm or smaller.

Airline reviews

Business class Seats on the A350 from Nan to YVR were wonderful. The flight crew was okay but could do with better training. Toilets were clean but ran out of paper towels towards the end of the flight. The food/menu and the wine offered really needs considerable improvement. Dinner options were either Bolani, a beef sandwich (even this could be made much better), or paneer butter masala. Unfortunately, if you are not a fan of Fijian food, there isn’t much choice. Dessert was either turmeric ice cream or fruits but unfortunately, they were out of fruit! So the only option was turmeric ice cream. I’m not certain how many passengers like turmeric but I am not one of them. They need to cater to a more diverse group of people. Perhaps they need a new chef? The movies& tv shows were mostly older so I didn’t find that interesting either. It was however, fun to view the plane’s exterior cameras as we take off and land. The best thing about this flight are the business class seats.

Comfortable as one can get in Economy, food was very good, staff were super friendly & efficient.

Really liked the plane and business class seat. Food was ok but could be better. Service was very good.

Better connections, much better cabin crew, much cleaner cabin that Qantas, American and probably other carriers.

Better connections, much better cabin crews, much cleaner aircraft than Qantas, American and probably others.

Fiji left without me because American Airlines was too stupid to get to LAX on time. Fiji should have offered a standby on another flight but they told me tough luck. I will never fly with this company again.

The A350 aircraft business class experience was very good. Comfortable and well appointed pod, and supplemental bed pad available for sleeping. Food was very good.

Business class seats and amenities were excellent, crew very attentive. Slept well. Food good, lounge experience nice. Would fly them again. A350 aircraft excellent, very quiet.

The flight attendants were extremely friendly and helpful. Everything ran on time. I highly recommend Fiji Airways.

The experience was lovely in every respect. The crews were delightful.
