Watch out everyone, there’s a new airport in town! Western Sydney Airport is officially open, with some airlines already operating flights to and from the airport. (And inexplicably, some travellers have already accidentally ended up at Western Sydney Airport!)
Here’s a look at the current and future airlines operating flights to Western Sydney International Airport and how you can use points to get there.
Airlines currently operating flights
| As of 1 November 2026 |
Jetstar
Jetstar is the first airline to start flights to and from the new Western Sydney Airport. Since opening day on 25 October 2026, Jetstar has been operating up to 24 return services a week using its Airbus A320 aircraft.
Want to use points to get there? You can book these eligible flights using Qantas Points. Fees and carrier charges are not included in the points price and will need to be paid on top – it’s around $42 each way.
| Economy | |
| Western Sydney to Melbourne | 5,700 Qantas Points |
| Western Sydney to Gold Coast | 5,700 Qantas Points |
| Western Sydney to Brisbane | 5,700 Qantas Points |
To be honest, cash Jetstar fares will usually be better value than points if they’re on sale. But reward seats booked through Qantas include an overhead cabin bag and a checked baggage allowance.
Air New Zealand
Air New Zealand operated the first international service from Western Sydney to Auckland on 26 October 2026. The airline will run three return flights per week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, using its A320 and A321 aircraft.
Want to use points to get there? Air New Zealand Airpoints members may be able to redeem eligible flights with points through Koru, subject to availability. Airpoints rewards are dynamically priced.
You can book Air NZ with points and miles of other Star Alliance carriers, such as Singapore Airlines and Air Canada. Economy reward seats are plentiful, but watch the fees and charges.
Upcoming flights to WSI
Singapore Airlines
Singapore Airlines will launch daily flights between Singapore and Western Sydney International Airport beginning in November 2026. These flights will operate on Singapore Airlines’ A350-900 aircraft.
Want to use points to get there? You can redeem these flights with eligible Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer miles, subject to reward seat availability. Fees and carrier charges are additional to the points price. WSI does not appear to be bookable from the Virgin Australia website at the moment.
| Economy | Business | |
| Singapore to Western Sydney (KrisFlyer) | 29,000 miles | 72,000 miles |
VietJet Air
Vietjet Air will launch flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Western Sydney Airport on 9 January 2027, which will initially operate two services a week. These services will then increase to three weekly services in March 2027, with flights operated on its Airbus A330 aircraft.
As a budget carrier, you’ll likely find that sale fares will be more attractive to book than using SkyPoints (which are difficult to collect anyway).
| Economy | |
| Ho Chi Minh City to Western Sydney | 14,500 SkyPoints |
Qantas
Qantas will launch domestic flights between Western Sydney Airport and Melbourne and Brisbane on 28 March 2027. These services are expected to increase to four weekly flights to both cities.
Want to use points to get there? Eligible flights can be booked with Qantas Points using the Classic Flight Rewards, subject to availability. Compare points fares with eligible cash fares to find the best value. Fees and carrier charges are additional to the points price.
| Economy | Business | |
| Western Sydney to Melbourne | 9,200 points | 19,300 points |
| Western Sydney to Brisbane | 9,200 points | 19,300 points |
Fiji Airways
Fiji Airways is set to launch flights between Western Sydney International Airport and Nadi in March 2027, operating three services a week. This new route will provide travellers with a new way to reach Fiji on board its modern Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
Want to use points to get there? You can redeem Qantas Points on eligible Fiji Airways flights, subject to availability. Fees and carrier charges are additional to the points price. The good news is that Fiji Airways is part of the Qantas table, so the reward seats are cheaper than most other partner airlines.
| Economy | Business | |
| Western Sydney to Nadi | 20,700 points | 43,600 points |
Qatar Airways
Qatar Airways is set to launch flights between Western Sydney International Airport and Doha on 19 December 2026. Operating three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, the service will use its Boeing 777-300ER, featuring its Qsuite Business Class.
Want to use points to get there? You can redeem Qatar Airways Avios on these eligible flights, including Business Class. Fees and carrier charges are not included, and reward seats are subject to availability.
| Economy | Business | |
| Doha to Western Sydney | 35,000 Avios | 70,000 Avios |
