Find Cheap Flights from Sydney Kingsford Smith to United States

Cons: Too bad you have to pay for every service...seats, TV, food.

Pros: A nice crew memeber comped my beer and food.

Cons: With Jet Star you can not check in early or buy luggage before the flight when flying to the US and when I went to check my bag the total cost just to Oahu would cost $680 and not even get it to my final location. There was no option to buy my baggage limit early so was surprise de and forced to pay a crazy fee! As it was my last legal day to stay in Australia I had no choice...

Cons: THE SERVICE WAS EXTREMELY POOR AND THE STAFF WERE RUDE...MY DAUGHTER WAS STANDING DUE TO A BACKACHE AND WAS TOLD BY A STEWARD THAT SHE COULD NOT STAND IN ONE SPOT BUT HAD TO WALK UP AND DOWN THE AISLE OR SIT....DISGRACEFUL ATTITUDE BORDERING ON HARRASSMENT... WILL NEVER FLY WITH JETSTAR AGAIN!!!

Pros: Flight Crew

Cons: Check=in staff expensive luggage fees

Pros: Should have free entertainment on a 4-6 hr flight

Cons: Nothing to watch unless pay a fee.

Pros: The flight was smooth, the pilots were nice when on the speaker, the crew was good, food was very good!

Cons: Sitting next to the unpleasant lady in my row. Some passengers are rude but we’re coming from New York, so....

Pros: The crew!

Cons: The seats seemed smaller than normal. And it was almost a 6 hour flight and there were no free movies or tv. Kind of a bummer.

Cons: Flight delay and old aircraft.

Cons: You can eat a dick regarding your flight from Syd to NYC. Delta is bullshit and so is your service. The end

Pros: Food was good.

Cons: Virgin Australia and Virgin America apparently do not share traveler info with each other. Neither airline could provide a seat assignment until I reached the counter at my departing city. I had to search for my connecting flight check-in desk to receive a boarding pass. This required a 2nd trip through TSA inspection.

Pros: Flight was only half full, plenty of room to spread out and sleep; lots of self-service drinks and snack

Pros: This is my third time flying with Virgin Australia from LAX to Sydney return. I LOVE this airline. The staff at every point are friendly, responsive, professional and helpful. I loved the service on board. Nothing seems to be too difficult (this was refreshing as I have flown on many flights throughout Asia and America where the service ethic was not strong. Experiencing airlines such as Qantas, United, Asiana, China Eastern, British Airways, Southwest Airlines and many more). Food was good. My kids loved the snacks; chips, Weiss mango icecream, apples, Hawaiin chips etc. A big shout out for the friendly airline. Keep up the great service.

Pros: Economy seats were slightly better than most, but the configuration of the 2 seats was good 2 of us to have our own area. Food was good and unexpected for a 3 hr flight.

Cons: Movies/TV shows were limited compared to other airlines. I am taller so seating in any economy seat is cramped at best.

Cons: Small and bland food. Very limited entertainment. TV didnt work but they gave me an ipad.

Pros: The crew were very friendly and professional. Economy seats were slightly better than most, but the configuration of the 2 seats was good 2 of us to have our own area. Food was good.

Cons: Boarding was hectic and unorganized, but functional. Movies/TV shows were limited compared to other airlines. I am taller so seating in any economy seat is cramped at best.

Pros: Service is nice. Very friendly. Food is good.

Pros: The flight was underbooked so I had a row to myself. That always makes a happy flight.

Pros: One of the smoothest landings I’ve ever extin my life! The food was excellent- all our children ate from 17 down to 2. We were provided blankets and pillows (which you sometimes can’t get on other airlines). Would fly with them again for sure - great budget airline

Cons: We had about a 35 minute wait once on the plane before we could take off. Not sure why it took so long (other than they said we were number 7 for takeoff). Also once we went through airport security and sat around we had to go through security again before getting to our waiting area (or hold area) but we had to throw out our water. Not sure why seeing as we purchased the water in the airport.

Pros: No delays. Reached destination an hour early. Food was very good.

Cons: My main issue is with the payment confusion between vayama and philippine airlines (unknown outstanding balance came out after managing my booking) which caused major hassle because both parties couldn't help me even after several calls/emails. Actually, another vayama-Philippine airlines passenger reached out to me after she experienced the same situation. Baggage allowance very strict. Would prefer more asian entertainment content.

Pros: Business class from Bangkok to San Francisco was good overall, especially for $1400 one way. Food was not very good for business class, was more in line with JAL, EVA, Korean or ANA econo class but again, for the price, no complaints. Great friendly service, quick boarding. Priority Pass didn't have a lounge in Manila but thankfully, Philippines Air had their own lounge with great food and drinks for 1st Class and Business class ticket holders. Plane from Manila to SFO was older, screen way too far away, not even reachable without getting out of the seat. Business class seats don't quite lay flat but no complaints for the price. Would fly with them again!

Pros: Flight attendants escorted us to our seats and helped stow our carry on luggage. Lie flat seats were comfortable with some storage space. Meals were very good as well

Cons: Limited in-flight entertainment. Headsets weren’t too good

Pros: Punctual

Cons: I was surprised for an overnight flight, no pillows provided, no toothpaste available, need to take hus from plane to terminal

Pros: Flight went smooth, was on time, no issues. Meal had pretty good cake. In flight entertainment has a good amount of Japanese pop, too.

Cons: Minor gate change, not a big deal. Really not to much to complain about.

Pros: The seat is a nice seat and on par with the better airlines.

Cons: The food and service are terrible at best.

Pros: Constant service through out the night on long 12 hour segment. Hostess was constantly walking up/down aisle serving great green tea and juices. Unlike other airline where crew puts off lights and go to sleep too

Cons: Food totally tailored to Chinese tastes. Though Muslim meal pre ordered was ok Beijing airport no WiFi and terrible security check

Pros: The check in & boarding was so fast and convenient The stars aliens program works perfectly with the business lounge , luggage extended limit

Pros: The service is good especially for a mother who carires baby

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Short waiting period for connecting flights

Cons: Bad service for China Air crews and not using the airport terminal tube, the passengers need to take a bus

Pros: I arrived safely.

Cons: Nothing good to report. Uncomfortable seats. Not even water seved on one 3 hr flight. Invisible flight attendants. Disorganized boarding. Idiotic carryon 7 lb weight limit. Soon they’ll be charging by passengers’ body weight. $145 for 2 checked suitcases. No option for free seats. Very long line mandatory to check in. No kiosk to get boarding pass. Pay for entertainment. Had them booked for 3 flights. The worst.

Pros: This no-frills airline gets you to and from Australia fairly cheaply, although when you start adding in all the extras, it may not be as cheap as first thought.

Cons: We attempted to add a meal online and were thwarted at every turn. It took a call and talking to a real person to resolve our issue. Plus, the in-flight service is so minimal; one person in our party tried to get a glass of water, and never received one. It seems a little parsimonious to charge for things like coffee and tea, especially on such a long flight between the US and Australia.

Pros: Eventually opened Service counter to process check-in.

Cons: Long check-in line. No other check-in option.

Cons: So I didn’t like how the flight was canceled which caused my wife and I to stay an extra day in Sydney. We missed work and needed to take an extra vacation day. But I’m not really upset about that. What I’m REALLY upset about is that I had to reschedule the connecting flight to PDX which cost an additional $400. Is that reasonable to upset? Jetstar basically just put their hands up and said sorry lol

Pros: Everyone was very nice, food was good, movie choice was great

Cons: Would have liked a more comfortable seat. Couldn’t sleep well

Pros: Nice seats in Business

Cons: 2 hour delay

Cons: Vegan meal option needs more veggies

Pros: JAL flights to LAX are always great. Good food too.

Pros: Very smooth flight. Nice 787

Cons: Very cramped no room to move. I can't believe the meals that were served. Very small portions. A slice of bread for breakfast. No butter just dry bread and coffee!!

Cons: I used Kayak to find my ticket and fill out my information (all kayak logos on top of the page and so on). However, when my confirmation email and e-ticket came in, they were issued by Budgetair.com. I had no experience with them and took it to be a reliable website since they were working with Kayak. However, I had to change/cancel my flight because of delayed passport delivery, and this is when everything turned very Ugly! I had to spend an hour over the phone to get connected to an agent with BudgetAir, who disconnected the line within 2 minutes saying: “please hold so I can pull up your information”. This game went on for 6 hours. I tried to connect with the airline directly to make the change, which was not possible since Budgetair had placed a restriction on this ticket. After 6-7 hours, which meant no work for me or lunch because I was sitting behind my desk with a phone on my hand, I got through an agent who was rude and impolite. He took 15 minutes to find flights for the new dates (I did it in 2 minutes on their website), and then told me to pay $315 in extra fess. When I inquired that the prices on your website for the exact same ticket is way cheaper than my original ticket price, he got angry and aggressive. Basically implying that I have no choice to take their offer as is, or let go of my original ticket price of over $2000. Long story short, DO NOT buy from BudgetAir if you like having a peace of mind!

Pros: On time and new plane

Cons: Nothing much

Cons: Food at Air Canada. Very bad.

Cons: Food

Pros: Staff friendliness, leg room

Cons: No sleeping eyepatch

Pros: The business class seat pods were superb. Food was good and crew was very helpful, especially in Seoul -- they automatically rebooked me on another Asiana flight to Bangkok when I missed my connection, and they loaned me a cell phone to call the people who were going to meet me there.

Cons: The 2 1/2 hour departure delay (due to a mechanical issue) resulted in my missing my connecting flight to Bangkok. Entertainment choices (movie selection) could use improvement.

Pros: The new aircraft A380 was so comfortable.
