Overview
- The new route will run December 29, 2026 to March 12, 2027 three times weekly on Boeing 787-9s as QF55/56, with the Sydney–Las Vegas sector blocked at about 13 hours 55 minutes.
- Flights are scheduled on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, with QF55 departing Sydney at 9:00 p.m. and arriving in Las Vegas at 3:55 p.m. local time.
- Bookings opened February 26, 2026, with economy return fares advertised from AUD $1,099 and a short bonus-points offer on Las Vegas hotels and packages through March 2, 2026.
- The service is timed to capture peak demand around major events including the Consumer Electronics Show and the NRL’s Las Vegas Festival, following three years of sold‑out NRL charters.
- Las Vegas becomes Qantas’s 101st destination, a link welcomed by local tourism officials who note more than 250,000 Australians visit annually, with the nonstop saving up to five hours versus connecting options.
