Qantas doubles down on flights from Melbourne to the US.

Melbourne’s post-COVID tourism recovery is set to accelerate with Qantas launching a new direct route from Dallas Fort Worth and significantly increasing flights from Los Angeles.

Dallas Fort Worth is home to Qantas’ partner American Airlines, providing seamless connections between Australia and over 200 cities across the US, Canada, Mexico and South America.  

We are also adding another four weekly return flights between Melbourne and Los Angeles with our 787s, up from four currently, to meet strong demand on the route.  The additional flights are operating from this week.  

Fares are on sale from today through your GDS starting from $2128.
