Qantas launching direct flights from Paris to Perth
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
Following the success of its non-stop London Heathrow to Perth and Rome to Perth flights, Qantas is launching Paris to Perth.
Flights will launch on 12th July 2024, in time for the Olympic Games in Paris. It will be the first time that Qantas has flown to Paris for almost 20 years.
There will be four flights per week during the first month, dropping to three per week from mid August 2024.
Services will be operated by a Boeing 787 and will take 17 hours. ‘Circle’ fares will be available, allowing passengers to mix and match Paris, London and Rome for their arrival and departure.
Avios redemptions will – in theory – be available as Qantas is a member of the oneworld airline alliance, but seats are virtually impossible to find on the Heathrow to Perth route. I would expect any that do appear will be snapped up quickly by the Australian market.
