Qantas has unveiled plans to resume flights to New York
with a new service from Sydney, via Auckland, starting 14 June
2023.
The airline will initially operate flights QF3 and QF4 thrice weekly, after a three-year COVID-induced hiatus.
Flights will
be operated with Boeing 787 Dreamliners, with three new aircraft
scheduled for delivery next year.
Qantas currently operates six
daily services to Auckland from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne which
will increase to 11 daily services when the new flight to New York
launches.

The flight time between Auckland and New York is
approximately 16 hours.
“We’re back flying to most of our pre-COVID
destinations, which is a fantastic achievement by our teams and so
important for Australians reconnecting with the rest of the
world,” said Qantas Group CEO, Alan Joyce. “We can’t wait to return to New York and it’s
made possible by the delivery of new aircraft, which have been
caught up in delays that have impacted lots of airlines. Customer feedback on our direct London and Rome services show how
well suited our Dreamliner cabins are to longer international
flights like these, which is helped by the fact we designed them
with more room and fewer seats than most of our competitors. We think this route will be very popular with Australians
given the opportunity to connect via Auckland and it also gives
New Zealanders more choice.”
When Qantas launches the New York flights it will
operate two Points Planes in the first
week, with all seats across every cabin available as a Classic
Reward flight on QF3 and QF4 on 16 June.
Points Plane connections
will also be available for Frequent Flyers based in Brisbane and
Melbourne to use Classic Rewards for their trans-Tasman flights.
Tickets for the Sydney-Auckland-New York flights
are now on sale.
