Flights to Sydney
Flying from London, England, to Sydney, Australia, involves taking a long haul flight. The journey will involve somewhere around 22-23 hours of actual flying time, although the trip itself will actually take longer. The reason for this is because it will be broken into two or possibly three legs with one or two stops to allow the plane to be refilled with fuel. Typical places that the plane might stop for re-fueling could be Dubai, Bangkok, Singapore or Hong Kong. Normally, if the plane is just there to take on board more fuel, then passengers will remain on board to keep the length of time on the ground to a minimum.
Sydney has one major airport where all international flights to the area land – Kingsford Smith Airport. It is located nine kilometers to the south of Sydney and has three terminals, but only one of these is used for international flights. Kingsford Smith Airport is actually Australia’s largest airport, and serves forty international and nine domestic and freight airlines. It has more than one hundred and fifty shops, and is one of the oldest continually operated airports in the world.

Generally speaking, the cheaper flights will be with budget airlines, and will be economy flights while the larger airlines who offer more facilities will charge a bit more.

Sydney is one of the most instantly recognizable cities in the world, with its large open harbor, amazing bridge and of course the Sydney Opera House. Although it isn’t Australia’s capital city, it is certainly its oldest and a trip to Macquarie Street where you can see the Hyde Park Barracks which were constructed by convict labor, the Mint building, Parliament house, and Sydney hospital will give you a glimpse of some of the first important buildings to go up here.
Of course the beaches of Sydney are why many people visit, and Bondi beach is one of the best known of these, although there are many to choose from including Manly, Tamarama and Balmoral beaches. A good way to see Sydney Harbor and the city too, is from the water, and a ferry can be taken from Manly and will last about 30 minutes. There are also plenty of parks, gardens, shopping and excellent dining to be found in this wonderful city.
