From 8 September, Qantas will fly direct to Perth 3 days a week, landing you in Australia’s sunniest city – gateway to endless coastline, world-class wine regions and the rugged red expanse of the WA outback.

This one’s for the families split across time zones. For the FIFO workers making their way home after long weeks on the job. For the business travellers navigating endless flight connections and M1 marathons – just to get from east coast to west and back. 

Whether you're heading west for work, reconnecting with loved ones, or chasing a new adventure, flying direct from Newcastle just makes sense.

Your guide to Perth

Perth offers the best of both worlds a buzzing city lifestyle wrapped in chilled vibes, with nature’s wonders just a stone’s throw away. And when you're flying from Newcastle, you'll have more time and energy to enjoy it all.

Here’s just a taste of what’s waiting for you:

  • Reconnect with loved ones. Whether it’s a family catch-up or a mate’s milestone celebration, it’s never been easier to be there for the moments that matter most.
  • Wander through Fremantle’s heritage streets, cruise down the Swan River or shop your way through Perth’s lively CBD.
  • Relax in style. Watch the sun dip below the Indian Ocean from one of Perth’s famous beaches – Cottesloe and City Beach are local faves. Or head inland to sip wine in the Swan Valley and slow things right down.
  • Want to venture further? Perth is your jumping-off point for some of WA’s most iconic adventures, from swimming with whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef to hiking through the ancient landscapes of the Kimberley.
