Direct flights from Perth to Rome are taking off in June 2022

Following the West Australian Governments’ announcement of a border open date in February 2022, Qantas has announced they’ll be adding a non-stop flight from Perth to Rome in June next year.

Holiday goers can catch one of the new direct flights three times a week after they are launched with one return ticket, helping reunite fellow West Aussies with friends and family overseas.

It comes with the announcement that the popular Perth to London direct flights will resume in April 2022 as part of the plan to help WA reconnect with the world and key international markets again.

Boeing 787 Dreamliners will service the Australia-continental Europe links, with connecting flights available to 16 European destinations and a further 15 across Italy.

Flights are now on sale, and fares start from $1620 return with the service set to run through to October 2022.

WA Premier Mark McGowan said the new route will be key in the Reconnect WA Plan.

“We’re opening up our incredible tourism industry to vaccinated overseas visitors, who will see our State as an exciting and safe destination like no other.”

The new route is expected to entice more international visitors back to the West and boost our tourism industry after massive blows during the COVID-19 pandemic.
