United Airlines recently launched the first-ever non-stop flight from the United States to South Australia's world-renowned wine region without the usual layovers in cities like Sydney or Melbourne.
Departing from San Francisco International Airport (SFO), the gateway for many transpacific routes, United's non-stop service connects the US West Coast directly with a destination that has long flown under the radar compared to Australia's bigger cities: Adelaide.
Adelaide is now closer than ever for American travelers, thanks to this long-haul leap across the Pacific. The flight to Adelaide Airport (ADL) dramatically cuts travel time and friction, transforming what was once a multi-stop journey into a single, streamlined hop—one that opens South Australia to leisure and business travelers, wine lovers, and those visiting friends and family alike.
Meanwhile, for Australians, the new United route offers a direct bridge to Silicon Valley and beyond. The new flight also strengthens economic and cultural ties between the US and South Australia, supporting tourism and business on both sides of the Pacific.
"In a historic announcement for South Australia, the new connection between the two countries will deliver a huge boost to the economy through tourism and trade, including for business events and conferences," the Government of South Australia shared in a press release. "It also means South Australians will no longer have to endure traveling to Melbourne, Brisbane, or Sydney, often catching a bus to an international terminal just to connect to a US flight."

Adelaide may be compact, but it punches far above its weight. The city sits within easy reach of world-famous wine regions like Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Clare Valley—places where a glass of wine comes with a story. Beyond wine, however, Adelaide also offers a laid-back coastal lifestyle, vibrant food markets, wildlife-rich islands like Kangaroo Island, and a cultural calendar packed with festivals, arts, and music. It's also less crowded compared to larger Australian cities, arguably more immersive, and deeply local.
The 15-hour flight to Adelaide will operate on a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, with 257 seats—including 48 in United Polaris Business Class and 21 in United Premium Plus. United will operate three flights per week until March 2026, with the possibility to increase flights in the future.
With the new route, United has become the only airline with nonstop service to four Australian cities (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Adelaide), offering travelers between the two countries more routes than any other airline.
