Deal Alert: San Francisco to Sydney from $581 Round-Trip
The cards we feature here are from partners who compensate us when you are approved through our site, and this may impact how or where these products appear. We don’t cover all available credit cards, but our analysis, reviews, and opinions are entirely from our editorial team. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Please view our advertising policy and product review methodology for more information.

Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend that you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz's courtesy cancellation if you're unable to travel. Additionally, keep in mind that discounted partner fares may not earn miles with US-based carriers.

Great news if you're planning a trip to Australia this year: Affordable flights from the US are still available, this time for flyers originating in San Francisco (SFO). Today's cheapest fares are heading to Sydney (SYD) and are available from $581 round-trip on Delta and Virgin Australia. Unlike yesterday's deal, it seems that the best rate is available on Virgin Australia's website or by calling — these itineraries can be found via Google Flights. If you're departing from SFO, you might also be able to find similarly priced fares to Brisbane (BNE). Additionally, it seems that yesterday's deal to Australia from Newark is still available on select dates at a higher price point.

Airlines: Delta, Virgin Australia
Routes: SFO and SYD
Cost: $581-$626+ round-trip in economy
Dates: April 2016 through December 2016
