Matt GrahamNew Flights USA/TX to AUST
NOTE FOR ALL CLIENTS & AGENTS . I just found that Australia’s National carrier (and American Airlines partner)... Qantas will be doing direct flights from Sydney to Dallas from May this year, with Dallas to Bris/Syd on the way out. This is big news for our Texas, mid-west and south-east USA hunters. They will clear out of the US Customs in Dallas (instead of LA) and fly right into Dallas from Syd on the way home. BIG NEWS!! Most importantly we prefer our hunters coming to the Northern Territory to enter Aust via Brisbane and exit via Sydney (permit reasons) if they want to see Sydney – so this works perfectly. This will save a lot of time in transfers and in dealing with the mess at LAX.
This is not just for US hunters benefit - this will be great for us Aussies wanting to travel to southern USA as well
However - All direct flights for San Francisco to and from Australia have been cancelled and will be handled through LAX or DFW. No great loss there!!
Cheers for now
