Fifth Freedom Routes
Sydney to New York via AKL
SYD → AKL → JFK
Qantas’ Sydney–Auckland–New York service is a modern Pacific route with echoes of the airline’s long history of connecting Australia with North America. Launched in 2023, QF3/QF4 revived the Auckland–New York link and replaced the traditional Sydney–New York routing via Los Angeles. This route will be superseded when the airline introduces direct services on their A350-1000 Ultra Long Range aircraft in 2028.
