There’s currently no non-stop service between Sydney and Chennai, so every option involves one stopover.

Airlines regularly operating this route include Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines, Scoot, SriLankan Airlines, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways and Thai Airways International, each routing through their own hub city.
Which stopover suits you best often comes down to layover length, onward connection times and whether you’d like a longer break to explore the transit city along the way – our guide to stopover cities between Australia and India breaks down what each option offers. If Chennai isn’t your only destination in India, Mann Travel also helps travellers flying from Sydney book flights to Delhi, flights to Mumbai, flights to Bengaluru, flights to Amritsar and flights to Ahmedabad.
Total travel time typically runs from around 13.5 to 16 hours, depending on the airline, the stopover city and how long your connection is. Shorter, well-timed connections tend to bring the total journey time down, while longer layovers add to it. Fares and exact timings vary by season and airline, so it’s worth comparing live options before you book.
