Looking at flights to Australia?

It is easy to underestimate just how big Australia actually is. Of course we all know that it’s a big country but until you have spent five hours just flying across it, you don’t really believe it. The journey time from the UK to Australia can vary enormously just depending on which airport you decide to fly into.

Perth is the closest international airport to the UK and the flight time from London is approximately nineteen hours with a stopover in Singapore, Hong Kong or Bangkok. The time difference is eight hours ahead of GMT. If you are looking for a flight to the East coast however, be prepared for a longer journey. Flight time to Sydney is around twenty one and a half hours again with a stopover in the Far East. The time difference is eleven hours ahead of GMT.

Qantas, British Airways, Emirates and Singapore Airlines are the main carriers to Australia from London but you may find better deals by consulting a price comparison website.
