✈️ Travelling to LA 2028 from Australia and New Zealand

Los Angeles is the main gateway from our part of the world, with nonstop flights to LAX from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland (around 13 to 14 hours from Australia and about 12 from Auckland). A few things worth knowing:

• Entry: Australian and New Zealand passport holders travel under the US Visa Waiver Program and need an approved ESTA before flying (apply at esta.cbp.dhs.gov). A ticket does not guarantee entry; border officers decide on arrival. Requirements can change, so check before you book.
• Getting around: the venues are spread across a large city and LA 2028 is planning a transit-first Games with limited parking. We build your transfers and timings around your sessions.
• Weather: July in Los Angeles is warm and dry, around 28°C by day.
• Time difference: Los Angeles is about 17 hours behind Sydney and 19 behind Auckland.

How Tickets and Hospitality Work for 2028

Tickets for the 2028 Games are sold through the official platform at la28.org, where fans register for a purchase slot, and official hospitality is sold separately through the Games’ appointed provider. SportsLink Travel builds your flights, accommodation, transfers and support around the events you are attending, and we will point you to the official channels. We are an independent travel specialist and not an official ticketing or hospitality provider.
