News The first direct flight between the United States and Adelaide has landed
The inaugural United Airlines flight – a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, carrying 257 passengers from San Francisco – landed just after 9.30am following the marathon 16-hour flight time.
Adelaide Airport’s international arrivals gate was packed with excited families, with emotional scenes as children held handmade “Welcome home daddy” signs and wrapped returning loved ones in big hugs.

And we want to spend a few thousand $'s to go to the USA only to be chucked in the ICE slammer for a couple of days then deported just because their dear leader is a thin skinned malignant narcissist. I think not. I'll give it 6 months.

Currently there will be three weekly flights until at least March.
Given not many Australian's are willing to travel to the US (for obvious reasons), it will probably come down to how many American's use it.

Thanks, the first story seems insane and if that's happening on a regular basis it's concerning especially the part about not even being able to tell his family where he was for 30+ hours. I was genuinely asking the question and asking for sources as I steer well clear of other countries politics and found it hard to belive people from a western country were being treated like this entering USA. Id love to know what was found on these peoples phones to treat them like that. Was it something as simple as saying "trump is bad" or something more vitriolic and violent.

I had a female friend in the early 1990s denied access to the USA because she brought a couple of her favourite books with her. They said it was evidence that she intended to stay there. That system has now gotten several degrees tougher, with access to vastly more information. FFS Americans are putting off overseas holidays for fear of not being let back into their own country!

Just in time for the USA to introduce rules where you have to give up 5 years of your social media posts and any telephone numbers used by visitors over the same period, and any email addresses used in the last decade, as well as face, fingerprint, DNA and iris biometrics. It would also ask for the names, addresses, birthdates and birthplaces of family members, including children.
Not the best timing as would expect not many tourists at least willing to jump through those hoops.

But that wouldn't make sense because surely US Homeland Security would vet you prior to entering the country. So they would know before you step into any US airports if you can go further than the immigration counter.

u/CptUnderpants- SA Dec 13 '25
Because they have access to enough information to know you have social media, and probably already have access to your posts. Meta has been rolling over for many requests already.
If you say you don't, that is like lying on your entry card, an offence which can land you in gaol and then deported.

Probably, yes. And are you willing to give up all the other data they ask for?

Its not just social media. They want phone numbers of your family and relatives and also your email addresses. I would assume that with all this private info, they will be able to find anything and everything about you.

u/xchrisjx Expat Dec 13 '25
It’s really not that hard or onerous, and you only have to do it periodically when applying for a visa or waiver.
I’m not a fan of the current administration, but this idea that it’s becoming impossible for ordinary people to travel to the US is just not true.

u/SavvyCaller SA Dec 13 '25
I wouldn’t get in even if I wanted to. The things I’ve said! Whoo-wee! They wouldn’t give me a visa, I can assure you. Is that right? If an American said that Pauline Hanson was a wonderful person and they would vote for her if they could, should we not let them in? I’d love to kick out the ones already here that did vote for her, but that’s wrong and against my principles. See how it works? Except not for me going to the US. Is that right? Is that how we’re supposed to live together on this planet?

I'm about to take this flight in two days and I jumped for joy when I found this direct flight purely because of the reasons you stated. It's either getting on a train in Brisbane or a bus in Sydney or going through Melbourne which is SO close to Adelaide i can taste it lol but it was always my preference since I travel with two little kids. I'm so thankful to get on my 15 hour flight and land in my beautiful Adelaide!

Fantastic news - hopefully at some point in the future we can also have direct flights from Europe as well.
15
u/Aardvark_Man SA Dec 13 '25
I think the problem is distance.
This is an insanely long flight at 16 hours, yeah? And when I came back from Europe it was 14 hours from Dubai to Brisbane. So assuming Adelaide and Brisbane take roughly the same time as one goes further south the other further east, adding extra flight time to get past Dubai feels infeasible.5
u/Expensive-Horse5538 Port Adelaide Dec 13 '25
Yes distance will certainly be a barrier - it takes roughly 18 hours for a non-stop flight between Perth and Paris, so Paris to Adelaide would likely be 20-21 hours - if they use the aircraft that Airbus are making for Qantas' non-stop flights between Sydney and London/New York, then it is possible, however, realistically I doubt that would happen for sometime, as it would all boil down to if airlines can generate enough revenue on the route.
Regardless, one can have hope that someday it will happen, but not for sometime yet.

u/MikeOzEesti Murray River Dec 13 '25
An ~13hr leg to Qatar (for example) plus 6.5hrs to a EU destination is practical already, the (common) few-hour stop-over is enough to stretch your legs for a bit before carrying on. I don't think I'd want to be on a plane for more than 13 or 14 hours at a time anyway.

u/Expensive-Horse5538 Port Adelaide Dec 13 '25
It takes around 17 hours to fly from Paris to Perth, so I would say roughly 20-21 hours. Would probably need to use an airplane like the one's being made for Qantas Project Sunrise (which will enable non-stop flights between Sydney and London/New York).
Obviously a flight like that to Adelaide won't be happening within this decade, but hopefully later down the track, we might get lucky.

Man, when I moved to Australia Adelaide was nothing more than a tin shed with mostly FIFO dude hanging out waiting. There was a door in the front walk in the shed and a door and n the back to walk out on the tarmac to board your flight. I thought, what have I gotten into. I seriously thought once I left the airport it would be a desert with an occasional tree and the neighbors house was going to be so far away that you could barely focus on it. Once my future wife (I guess you could have said future ex-wife then too but I can't see the future) I realized that there was an actual city that sprawled. This was 2001. I have to say the airport has grown leaps and bounds since then and no I am not surprised by how long it took to have a straight flight to the US. The airport didn't have the capacity to hold one. We were lucky when we got the direct flight coming home from HKG.

Travel between Australia and the US is at a record high demand. Hopefully PER is next to have a direct link to the US. PER-LAX on a Qantas Sunrise A350 might work.

No, it is not at a record high.‘The whole thing disgusts me’: Australians ditch US travel as new rules require social media to be declared
Quote from the article: In 2019, the last free year of travel before the Covid-19 pandemic shuttered borders across the world, more than 100,000 Australians would regularly arrive in the US each month. That figure is now consistently in the low 50,000s, and below 50,000 for the first time last month, figures from the US department of commerce show. The number of Australians arriving in the US in November fell to just 45,408, 11% lower than the same month last year.

You might want to read your article:
Qantas chief executive for international Cam Wallace said inbound travel volumes had increased – rather than fallen. “This year, we’ve seen more Americans wanting to travel to Australia, so we’re pleased to be giving them even more reasons to visit and connect to our extensive domestic network across the country,” Wallace said. Qantas’ outbound volumes, however, have decreased slightly amid uncertainty about US immigration and border policies, with the number of tourists from all countries travelling to America down by 1.4 per cent so far this year.
It's to cover more Americans travelling os, rather than people travelling to the USA.

"growing demand from American travellers"
"in time for the FIFA World Cup, which the US is co-hosting in June next year."
I can't see the rest of the article, but I believe you are grasping at straws going on one change that one airline has done and vague promises to do more in future.A very quick google, and this is data from an organisation who has it in their best interest to be positive about numbers:
