Exciting airfare to Sydney!

According to Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software, you can find fares starting at $781 (Basic Economy). By checking the same dates with Air Canada, the price drops to $737 (Basic Economy) or $899 (Regular Economy).

Air Canada’s $899 fare includes a regular economy ticket that comes with one checked luggage and a standard carry-on bag.

Additionally, Air Canada offers a $737 fare as a Basic Economy/Economy Light option. Be aware that these Basic Economy/Economy Light fares:

• DO NOT allow for advance seat assignments
• DO NOT include checked bags—fees are $75 each way for the first bag and $100 each way for the second
• DO NOT permit any changes
• DO NOT allow for cancellations—if canceled after the 24-hour risk-free period, the Basic Economy ticket will lose its value for future purchases
• Many online travel agencies inaccurately label these fares as BASIC ECONOMY when booking with Air Canada

Please ensure you acquire an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) to enter Australia. Beware of fraudulent websites selling ETAs for over the official price of $20 AUD, which is available directly from the Australian Government.
