Flying from London to Sydney usually takes around 22 to 24 hours. That includes one stop in cities like Singapore, Doha, or Dubai. The total time depends on which airline you choose and how long the layover is.

British Airways, for example, lists its London to Sydney flight via Singapore as taking about 22 hours and 50 minutes. The first stage from the UK to Singapore takes around 12 hours, while the next flight to Sydney is slightly under 11 hours.

It’s best to book your flight to Sydney around one to three months in advance. Keep in mind that booking too far ahead doesn’t always save money. Flexibility helps too. Try checking a few days before or after your ideal date. Also, note that flights that leave mid-week are usually cheaper than those on weekends.

You will usually find the cheapest flights to Sydney in the UK spring and autumn. This means looking at travel dates from March to May or September to early November. These months fall between the busy holiday seasons, so ticket prices are often lower.

Flights to Sydney are most expensive in December and January because that’s summer in Australia. Airlines like British Airways suggest booking outside of this period if you want to save money.

Flights to Sydney are expensive mainly because it’s such a long journey. It takes nearly a full day of flying to get there from the UK. That means higher fuel costs, more crew hours, and extra airport fees. 

Another reason is high demand. A lot of people fly to Australia during peak travel months, especially in December and January. Even outside peak months, there are only a limited number of flights each day.

Most flights also include a stop in another country, which adds more costs. Furthermore, if you're booking close to your travel date, prices are usually even higher.

You will usually find the cheapest flights to Australia on Thursdays. If you are flexible with your travel dates, choosing a midweek flight often helps you save. In addition to flying on a Thursday, it’s also worth booking your tickets on a Sunday. Data shows that flights booked on Sundays tend to be slightly cheaper than those booked during the week.

Sydney is one of the more expensive cities to visit. The cost of hotels, eating out, transport and attractions is generally higher compared to other Australian cities. If you’re travelling on a budget, it helps to plan ahead and choose your spending carefully.

However, there are still ways to save money when you take a trip to Sydney. Many of Sydney’s top attractions, such as beaches and public parks, are free. Public transport is reliable and reasonably priced.

During off-peak months like autumn, it’s common to find fares between £750 and £950 if you book a few months in advance. If you're travelling in December or January, prices often rise above £1,200 due to high demand.

No, Sydney or any city in Australia is not visa-free for UK citizens, according to the UK government’s travel page. Before you travel, you must get electronic permission from the Australian Government.

Most British travellers use the eVisitor visa (subclass 651), which is free to apply for. It lets you stay in Australia for up to three months at a time within a 12-month period. There is also an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority, subclass 601) option available via mobile app, but UK passport holders usually go for the eVisitor.

Depending on the airline and the length of the layover, the total travel time from Birmingham to Sydney is usually between 24 and 30 hours. Some dates might only be available with two stops, but one-stop flights are common.

The cheapest time to visit Sydney is usually during spring and autumn because these seasons fall between the busy holiday periods. The demand is lower, so the prices tend to drop. For the best savings, look at travel dates between March and May or September to November.

During these months, you can often find better deals on flights, hotels, and tours. The weather is still pleasant, with mild temperatures and fewer extremes compared to summer or winter.

A return flight from the UK to Sydney usually costs between £800 and £1,400 in Economy if you travel outside the peak season. During high-demand months like December, you could pay anywhere from £1,300 to £1,800 for the same route.
