Find Cheap Flights from United States to Sydney Kingsford Smith

Left in time and flight had no incident

I didn’t like the fact that my luggage was lost. This is a big issue after traveling so far to have no luggage. Especially as I’m staying 45 days! I’m praying it will be found.

Baggage fees were rediculously high.

THE PRICE OF THE TICKET IS WHY YOU WOULD FLY JETSTAR. OTHERWISE, YOU WOULDN'T FLY JETSTAR.

The food menu is very limited to bready, carbohydrates - not a single salad or actual meal is available. Everything is tv dinner style. The entertainment only changes every few months so if you are frequent flyer with JetStar, you'll get bored of the movie and TV selection within three flights. The customer service varies wildly. I had one flight where a steward spilled a cup (literally) of water on me and handed me two napkins, and another flight where they moved me to a more comfortable seat upon request. Also, the JetStar membership is a JOKE! I paid for a year membership with the offer of deals and lower, membership prices. HA! I have yet to see an international offer, and they only reduce prices of say entertainment by $1. Also, they don't have an actual MILES program. If I was flying with ANY other company, I would have received some type of positive upgrade for all my flying with them. I must have flown 100,000 miles with them this year already.

They were super nice and did not charge me for boiling water and tap water as I made my own meal on the plane. They gave me an extra-large cup which made it easy for me to make my freeze-dried meal!

Reading the reviews - I also got the impression from Kayak that there would be 1 free checked bag. It took 2 hours for me to get my bags upon arrival, so I was almost unable to re-check my bags when the layover was almost 3 hours. I had to take a cab from the international airport to the domestic one, rushing to make the bag check-in deadline, and then get there to see the flight delayed 30 mins. The delay is not the problem, stuff happens, it was the lack of communication, from start to finish that was frustrating. Other airlines have texting and email services, and offer to check bags right outside of customs. I was glad to have brought my own food - $10 for 5 tablespoons of rice? $7.50 for instant noodles? at least the portion size looked OK. The flight staff were very nice, but I felt like the girl at the bar only drinking water.

Large variety of entertainment options

Not enough water served frequently enough in my opinion. Hard to keep hydrated (it's a very long flight)

Staff and seating

Paying for movies on a long trip really stingy ☹

Please read notes above -

This flight was on the 777-300 plane leased from EVA. Boarding proved to be a bit of a slow grind due to the inordinate number of families with children on this particular flight. Our fault for not realising this at time of booking. Flight itself went very smoothly. Seats were fine. Not a huge selection of movies to choose from. Felt the crew went about their duties without fuss and ticked all the boxes for me.

Check in and boarding was very efficient and timely

The flight is not too busy

I have to checked my all suitcase out and re-check in again even thought I am transfer. This is horrible!! Nobody informed me, I have to go back to customs and get my suitcase.

When I went to check in they disnt even want to help and were very rude

Comfortable seats and wide array of movies plus free WiFi. Very good service as well.

Poor communication on boarding process and on the flight delay. And bad WiFi near the boarding gate.

We missed our flight due to Justfly and Quantas not informing us about our schedule change. Did not get on our flight

Entertainment - lots of movies

Seat was more comfortable than I had expected.

Quantas rerouted our SFO - SDY non stop trouble LAX to pick up 28 Passengers!! So 270 Passengers ha to endure an additional 3grs 30 min. No compensation not even a drink voucher! Not up to Quantas standards.

quick and easy boarding, friendly crew, decent leg room, in seat entertainment, clean facilities

seats are a bit hard, flight was very cold (can't control air flow), reading light was mixed up with another seat

The flight crew were friendly and efficient !

Seats could be a bit larger and a bit more comfortable

I didn't like the fact that there were no snacks served between dinner and breakfast. It was a long flight and some snack could have been offered

Nothing I liked about virgin Australia airlines

Delay - The flight got delayed by an hour, no one knows why? the screen at the boarding area show on time despite online flight stats say dealyed Boarding - We were in economy and no one cares to smile, assistance is too far to think Food - Only two meals, one when we were asleep around 1am - 2am LA Time. After 12 hours into the trip breakfast was served, announcement was omelette, ham & cheese or French toast, but when they came to the seat, they had only omelette. Crew - One of the worst crew, they chat for hours together but no help to economy customer, no smile, no coffee, no snacks in long haul flight, wish had them on camera but didn't want to invade privacy of others, they offer rotten fruits if one asks for snack

Comfortable flight. Good crew. Easy checkin.

$4 for a cup of coffee?!!!! No thank you. And not a single pretzel without charge. Geez.

Very helpful with my Visa problem

I liked the price of the ticket.

The quality of the staff is so varied. There are a few of them, the stewards and stewardesses, who are top-quality, and then there are some that are absolutely horrible. Sexist, rude.

Great price comfortable flight and great staff from the beginning until landing. Accommodated our baby extremely well allowing us a row to ourselves

It costs money for food and entertainment and drinks!! 10 hour flight and no snacks or drinks :((

Long flight but staff attentive

Baggage at Sydney was extremely slow coming almost an hour !

Nothing much better but just slightly better than the long haul flight

Had to take a shuttle to the plane from the gate and walk up the stairs in the rain

Poor costumer service

I miss the fly from New York to China and after I was not aloud to you my ticket what was round trip to go back to New York and I was not given back even 1$ back fro that ticket

at least they gave us a voucher for a free dinner at the cafeteria in Macau

I liked the entertainment

They provided much more than a seat. One of us was overcome with air sickness. The flight attendants provided all the help and comfort necessary to recover from sickness. They were indeed very helpful. We are very thankful and grateful for all the care they gave us during the flight.

We love the space in the seats on the new Airbus 380. It is so spacious, and the seats are very comfortable. The movie selection was pretty good.

if I remember correctly the screen size was a little small for a new plane. Also I asked for two alcohol drinks, but was told only one may be served. I only asked so I wouldn't have to get up during my movie, and on Air New Zealand, they freely offer more than one drink. Also, if I remember correctly the arm rests did not raise all the way. We had all three seats to ourselves, and it would have been nice to lift the armrests all the way up so we could stretch out properly.

Seat space and leg room Food and service

Very nice and speedy check in. Boarding ok. Food good but no fruit.

slow entertainment system. Some shows and maps unavailable

Check in and boarding was very efficient and timely

Poor costumer service

Everything from check in to exit was well executed. Kudos! Will definitely use Virgin Australia on next trips as well

When my passport was renewed, for whatever reason my visa didn’t update. The person at the gate offered to help with the renewal — or said I could do it myself. Since it came down to part of the boarding process, I had her do it. It took about two minutes and she charged me $20 extra for the $20 visa. Your strength is supposed to be customer service. Really? On the plane, the seat bottom had nearly no padding for a 14-hour flight. I sat on the small provided sleeping pillow part of the way.

Time arrival

Rude flight attendant, but it is an experience with me. I am a very educated and respectful person, but I am latino, colored skin and it seems you need to meet some standard for them to treat you as a human. Food was bad, made me sick as others

I didn't like the fact that there were no snacks served between dinner and breakfast. It was a long flight and some snack could have been offered

Quantas rerouted our SFO - SDY non stop trouble LAX to pick up 28 Passengers!! So 270 Passengers ha to endure an additional 3grs 30 min. No compensation not even a drink voucher! Not up to Quantas standards.

The flight was perfect, good leg space in economy, food was good both breakfast and dinner, even snacks were available during the flight.

We missed our flight due to Justfly and Quantas not informing us about our schedule change. Did not get on our flight

You have a good airline. It was clean and everyone was friendly all communication was good EXCEPT before I got to the airport I forgot my visa and thought all I’d have to do is call Qantas and they’d advise me.

Every time I’d call an 800 number I’d get someone in South Africa who was sooooo unhelpful. I’m sure she had her script but for heavensake all I needed to do was to go online and get a visa. And I saw someone in San Francisco at the ticket counter get a visa and yet I was told I wouldn’t be flying that night as I had forgotten to get a visa. No help at all !! I know I wasn’t the only person that ever got a visa. I was told to call my consulate. Clearly there was a simple way to get a visa and I was so freaked out until I figured it out myself. Made it so unpleasant.

La puntualidad en los vuelos.

Servicio al cliente un poco deficiente en shangai nos trataron súper mal.

Very comfortable seat in the exit row and entertainment to choose from offered a wide variety of current and older movies, I was very impressed and will for sure book through China Eastern for my next flight to Hong Kong next month

Breakfast was a bit bland but nothing bad

at least they gave us a voucher for a free dinner at the cafeteria in Macau
