Qantas Launches New 15-Hour Nonstop Route In 2 Months: See Map Now
Qantas adds a direct transpacific leisure lifeline timed for peak events as Aussies prepare to ring in the New Year.
Qantas is preparing to operate scheduled flights between Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) and Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) for the first time, marking a historic shift from its previous charter operations on the route.
The airline’s move positions it to offer a nonstop connection to Las Vegas, expanding its long-haul network beyond Australia’s east coast.
Jetstar, Qantas’s low-cost subsidiary, has also previously served the route on a charter basis, indicating related experience with the Sydney-Las Vegas corridor.
The news comes from Simple Flying, which notes Qantas’s milestone as a scheduled-service operator on this route, contrasting with its past charter status.
