Qantas Launches New 15-Hour Nonstop Route In 2 Months: See Map Now

Qantas will become the first airline to operate scheduled flights between Sydney (SYD) and Las Vegas (LAS), shifting a route historically run on a charter basis alongside Jetstar. Starting December 29, the oneworld partner will add a Boeing 787-9 service with a three-times-weekly rotation. QF55 departs SYD at 9:00 PM and arrives LAS at 3:55 PM, while QF56 leaves LAS at 8:20 PM and reaches SYD at 6:35 AM (+2 days). The seasonal schedule runs December through March, cutting up to five hours versus other US gateways such as LAX, SFO, and DFW, and marks Las Vegas as Qantas’ 101st destination.
