SYDNEY — Qantas is adding more flights to its nonstop Vancouver – Sydney route for Canada’s winter season.

The airline is boosting service from three per week to daily, from Jan. 1 – 24, 2026, before adjusting to five flights per week from Jan. 25 – Feb. 8, 2026 and then tapering to four flights per week from Feb. 9 through March 2026.

Cam Wallace, CEO, Qantas International, said the increased flying over the Canadian winter season will boost available seats by 68% from January through March. All services will be operated with B787-9 aircraft.

“Just as Australians head to Canada for its spectacular ski conditions, it’s the perfect opportunity for Canadians to swap the snow for sunshine and explore Australia’s summer,” said Wallace.

“With these additional flights between Vancouver and Sydney, we’re giving Canadian customers more opportunities to experience everything the city and New South Wales have to offer – whether it’s relaxing on Bondi Beach, exploring the wineries in Southern Highlands, or discovering the stunning landscapes of the Blue Mountains, there is something for everyone,” he added.

Canadian travellers can fly through Sydney and connect onto Qantas’ domestic network, with more than 60 destinations across Australia.

Australian customers flying through Vancouver can connect onward throughout Canada thanks to Qantas’ partnership with WestJet offering one-stop connections to Calgary, Montreal, Toronto, Victoria and more.

Average annual lead-in fares for nonstop roundtrip flights from Vancouver to Sydney start from Cdn$1,929.

Qantas flights between Canada and Australia included checked baggage, premium inflight food and beverage, Aussie hospitality and more than 2,500 hours of inflight entertainment included as standard with every booking.
