FAQ

How long is a business class flight from San Francisco to Melbourne?
Plan on 14 to 17½ hours of flying between San Francisco and Melbourne. Total time shifts with the season, the winds over the Pacific and the exact departure you choose from the Bay Area.
Are there nonstop business class flights from San Francisco to Melbourne?
Yes, this is a nonstop route. Qantas and United Airlines both fly San Francisco to Melbourne direct, so you stay on one aircraft the entire way and skip any layover in Los Angeles or Sydney.
What is the time difference between San Francisco and Melbourne?
Melbourne sits 14 hours ahead of San Francisco, with the true gap a bit larger. An email sent at the close of a Bay Area day waits in a Melbourne inbox until morning, which suits asynchronous teams.
How much can I save booking business class through Business-Class.com?
Compared with the published price, business class here can run up to 51% cheaper through Business-Class.com, since fares from both nonstop airlines are reviewed together before you pay.
When is the best time to book business class flights from San Francisco to Melbourne?
Reserve three to five months ahead. Melbourne Cup week in early November and the Australian Open in January bring heavy travel, so anyone heading for those events should lock in dates early.
Can I change or cancel my San Francisco to Melbourne business class booking?
With two airlines flying nonstop, the change and refund terms depend on who issued the ticket: Qantas applies its own policy to its tickets and United Airlines does the same for its own.
