Departure

Perth (PER)

PER
Check-in
For a flight this long, keep the full international buffer — Perth's international terminal is efficient but this is a headline ultra-long-haul departure.
Security
Security generally moves efficiently at Perth outside peak periods.
Connections
Perth Airport has direct road links into the city; public transport options are more limited than at larger hubs.
Arrival

London Heathrow (LHR)

LHR
On arrival
Confirm your arrival terminal ahead of time — Heathrow's terminals are organized by airline/alliance.
Ground transport
The Heathrow Express reaches Paddington in 15 minutes; the Elizabeth line is a cheaper, slower option.
Planning ahead
Given the flight's length, build in recovery time on arrival rather than scheduling tight same-day plans.
Timing & fares

When it flies, what it costs.

Fares & booking

Booking window
Booking well ahead (2-3 months) is worthwhile for this flagship route given strong demand for both cabins.
Cabin advice
On one of the longest nonstop routes in the world, Qantas's premium economy and business cabins are a serious comfort consideration, not a luxury.
Peak pricing
The Australian summer holiday period (Dec-Jan) and UK summer both push demand up.
