What was the destination of Oceanic Flight 815 in Lost before it crashed?

Oceanic Flight 815 was bound for Los Angeles before it crashed in Lost.

The flight was traveling from Sydney, Australia, to Los Angeles, California, when it broke apart over the mysterious island. The crash creates the series’ main ensemble by bringing passengers from many different backgrounds together in one isolated location.

The route matters because the survivors initially believe they are somewhere along the aircraft’s expected path. The wreckage and the lack of a reliable rescue effort eventually show that the flight ended far from where search teams expect it to be. The airline and flight number are fictional elements of the series.

Los Angeles is the destination, while Sydney is the departure city. These locations are sometimes reversed when people summarize the crash, but the canonical route is Sydney to Los Angeles.
