Are There Direct Flights from the UK to Perth?

Yes. Qantas flies non-stop from London Heathrow to Perth every day, and it is the only non-stop flight from the UK to Australia.

Qantas flight QF10 leaves Heathrow at 11:30 and lands in Perth at 12:15 the next day (November 2026 schedule). It uses a Boeing 787-9 with Business, Premium Economy and Economy, and continues to Melbourne on the same flight number.

The return flight is different right now. Because of Middle East airspace, Qantas flies Perth to London via Singapore. This is planned until 31 January 2027, with non-stop flights due to return from 1 February 2027. Check your return dates when you book.

Non-Stop, Direct and Codeshare: What the Terms Mean

• Non-stop: The aircraft flies without landing. QF10 London to Perth is non-stop.

• Direct: One flight number, which may still land on the way. Perth to London via Singapore is direct but not non-stop.

• One-stop: You change planes once, for example in Dubai or Doha.

• Codeshare: One airline sells a seat on another airline's flight. For example, British Airways sells Perth itineraries on Qantas flights, so check the operating airline on your booking.

Our guide to direct vs connecting flights explains the differences in more detail.

Qantas also plans non-stop Sydney to London flights from October 2027. That route is not yet operating and does not change the Perth service.

Qantas is the only airline flying non-stop. Emirates, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines and Thai Airways offer one-stop journeys.

• Via Dubai (Emirates): The widest choice of UK airports, through Dubai International Airport. See our Dubai flights page.

• Via Doha (Qatar Airways): A daily Perth flight from several UK airports, through Hamad International Airport.

• Via Singapore (Singapore Airlines): Singapore is a short final flight to Perth and a popular city for a stopover, with plenty to do at Singapore Changi Airport.

Cheap Flights to Perth from the UK

The best way to find good value is to compare the total trip, not just the headline fare. In November 2026, Cathay Pacific advertised London Heathrow to Perth return economy fares from £1,095, including taxes, for selected November dates. That is a starting fare, not a typical price.

• Compare dates. Moving your trip by a few days can change the price.

• Book early for peak dates. Christmas and school holidays fill first.

• Try other UK airports. Manchester or Birmingham may save the cost of getting to London.

• Compare non-stop and one-stop. The non-stop flight saves time, while a one-stop route may cost less.

• Check what is included. Look at baggage, seat selection and change rules before you compare fares.

• Check your return. The Qantas return currently stops in Singapore, so compare return times too. Our guide to one-way vs return flights explains the options.

Best Time to Book Flights to Perth

There is no guaranteed cheapest month or booking day, but fares are usually highest around Christmas and UK school holidays.

Perth's summer, from December to February, is hot and busy, and many UK families visit relatives at Christmas. It is also a popular choice for winter sun holidays from the UK. Winter in Perth, from June to August, is milder. For peak dates, start comparing fares several months ahead.

See our guide to the best time to book flights and the UK school holiday dates.

Which Cabin Should You Choose for Flights to Perth?

On a 17-hour non-stop flight, the cabin you choose makes a big difference.

• Economy: The lowest fare, with meals and entertainment included.

• Premium Economy: More space and a bigger seat, which makes a real difference on a non-stop flight. Qantas offers it on QF10.

• Business Class: A flat bed and lounge access, ideal if you want to arrive rested.

• First Class: Not offered on the Qantas non-stop, but available with Emirates via Dubai on selected flights.

Our guide to airline cabin classes for long-haul travel compares the options in more detail.

Arriving at Perth Airport

Which airport do international flights use in Perth? Perth Airport (PER). Qantas flights use Terminal 3, and other international airlines use Terminal 1.

The two terminal areas are separate, so check yours before planning your onward journey.

• From Terminal 1: The Airport Line train runs from Airport Central station to Perth city in about 18 minutes.

• From Terminal 3 (Qantas): Take bus 292 to Redcliffe Station for the same train, or bus 40 into the city.

• Taxis: About 20 to 25 minutes to the city.

• Onward flights: Qantas domestic flights also leave from Terminals 3 and 4, which makes connections to Melbourne, Sydney or elsewhere easier.

Before you land, check what to declare with the Australian Border Force. Australia has strict rules on food, plant and animal products, and some medicines.
