Travel
For our U.S. family and friends-
When traveling here from the U.S, you will land in Australia two days later (ex: if you leave on a Wednesday, you will land here Friday). You will also need to apply for an Australian Tourist Visa. The process was easy and reasonably quick. I, Lucy, applied for the Tourist Visa in December 2022 to travel in March 2023 and it was granted within three weeks or so. All information on how to apply is on Australia's immigration website

Below is just an option for flying. You may choose whichever airline to Brisbane Airport, but I personally loved Air Canada, as it was the shortest flight/layover and least expensive
Flight
Air Canada
Air Canada has the shortest and least expensive flight, stopping in Vancouver then to Brisbane Airport. The flight is 23-24 hours, and the layover is only an hour & 45 minutes to two hours long. The only downside of flying Air Canada on this flight is that it leaves from Newark Airport in New Jersey. I flew Air Canada both times to Australia, and it was a great flight
For all the days along the way
