Flights from Australia to the Cricket World Cup 2027
Australia and South Africa sit on opposite sides of the Indian Ocean, and the two are linked by nonstop flights into Johannesburg. Those direct services, plus a range of one-stop routings through Asia and the Gulf, give Australian fans a genuine choice.

Getting there
How the routes work
Australia is one of the few origins with nonstop flights to South Africa, all into Johannesburg. Connecting routings through Singapore, the Gulf or Perth are also widely available and can be more flexible on price and timing.
Route information
Qantas flies nonstop to Johannesburg from Perth and from Sydney. As of the verification date below, the Perth–Johannesburg service operates several times a week, and the Sydney–Johannesburg service is scheduled to move to a daily nonstop operation during the 2026–27 period. Frequencies and aircraft change seasonally, so confirm current schedules with the airline.

The journey
Departure cities, hubs and arrival points
- Departure cities
- Sydney and Perth have the nonstop links to Johannesburg, while Melbourne, Brisbane and other cities feed into those or connect through an Asian or Gulf hub.
- Connection hubs
- The usual connecting points are Singapore and the Gulf hubs of Doha, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with Perth also acting as a staging point for onward nonstop flights.
- Arrival gateways
- Nonstop flights land at Johannesburg. Cape Town, Durban and the smaller venues are reached with an onward connection, most often through Johannesburg itself.
- Journey
- The nonstop crossing to Johannesburg is a long-haul flight of roughly 11 to 14 hours depending on the departure city, helped by a favourable time difference. One-stop routings via Asia or the Gulf take longer but broaden the options.
