Flights to Sydney

If you’re flying to Sydney, there’s so much to look forward to, from reassuringly good coffee to fantastic live theatre and a healthy appreciation of the good life. The weather is sunny, with mild winters and warm summers, English is the official language, the currency is the Australian Dollar (AUD) and transport is always a hot topic! Trains and buses are one of the best ways to get around, with taxis and ride-share services also plentiful. Roads can get congested at peak times so if you’re visiting Sydney for a holiday, avoid travelling anywhere during rush hour if you can.
