They do fly from those countries. I was an exchange student in australia, and remember Quantas had direct LAX/Sydney flights. I think United, Cathay Pacific, singapore and Air New Zealand also offer this direct service.
The other side of the question is that it is a very long flight, and easier to break up at least with one fuel stop (necessary for some jumbo jets). Fuel stops to those countries are often Fiji, Tahiti and sometimes Hawaii.

there are airlines that do fly directly to those locations it is just a bit more costly. I used to work for a company shipping pets around the world and book flights for the pets on the direct flights to Australia and other places like that it is easier for the pet! So it's possible for humans as well!

I've met people who have flown from Auckland and Sydney direct to San Fransisco and Los Angeles. The most direct and quickest route is over the Pacific with very little in the way for a stopover.

Qantas flies from Sydney and Melbourne to Los Angeles and San Francisco.
United flies from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Sydney
Air New Zealand flies from Auckland to Los Angeles (not sure if they have discontinued San Francisco).
These flights are near the maximum range for the 747-400 aircraft which serve them, but these are not the longest flights in the world. EWR-SIN and LAX-SIN are longer. Singapore uses an Airbus 340 airplane with reduced capacities to save weight to make this possible.

that's a type of inexpensive airplanes that doesn't have the little t.v. reveal on the lower back of the guy in front of you's chair? i've got been on a pair of those. inspite of the incontrovertible fact that they weren't from now on than 6 hours so all i did grew to become into stare out the window and circulate to sleep. yet you ought to attempt taking a competent e book or an ipod. in case you have a action picture telephone that ought to be super as long as you place it into flight mode so it does not intrude with any navigation indicators. purchase a nintendo D.S. or yet another style of handheld activity. Get a bop it with headphones so it does not annoy people, they're distinctly addictive. only take as many categories of entertainment as you may so it does not get tedious. endure in innovations you wont be wide awake for the entire 17 hours. Have a advantageous flight! :-)

Hi Jerome, actually there is at least one direct flight from Sydney to Los Angeles with Qantas. I'm not sure if any other airlines offer direct flights, but that might be a start for you.

They do. QANTAS flies directly to Honolulu and Los Angeles from Australia. Air New Zealand flies directly from New Zealand. When you think about it, how else are you going to get from Australia to America except straight across the Pacific?

It is not feasible to go direct, as there are places to stop and pick up/drop off others. plus one tank of fuel may not allow u to fly that far without stopping.

Never? Uh, every day, my friend, several airlines make the flight across the great pond, non-stop.
Back to the drawing board -
