Frequent Flyer Seats Available to Australia

With service set to start 7/1, Delta still has frequent flyer seats periodically available from then until the end of the year on its new service from LAX to Sydney. Be flexible with dates for your best chance. If you find it difficult to coordinate a direct connection in Los Angeles, remember that Delta frequent flyer tickets allow a stopover in one direction. This can break a long trip, and get you to or from Australia. In order to have enough miles available, Northwest WorldPerks members can now move their points to Delta’s SkyMiles program. Once in Australia, you may find surprisingly cheap fares on airlines like Virgin Blue. UPDATE: April 26, 2009: With fares now so very low from LAX to Australia, you may wish to buy a ticket and save your frequent flyer miles for another trip.
