There are many carriers now flying the Sydney to LA route which for years was dominate by Qantas. At present the carriers include: Qantas V Australia United Delta Airlines Of the above carriers the picks would have to be Qantas who fly the A380 on the route or V Australia who are flying new 777 craft. United and Delta fly much older craft on the route. Personally I would choose Qantas due to the potential Delta joint venture with virgin which could see them sharing aircraft on the route. In the case of Qantas the Flight Numbers to look for are QF93 and QF94 to find the A380 operated sectors.
