Cheap flights to Perth

The cosmopolitan capital of Western Australia, Perth, is also the remotest city in the entire country. A sense of quiet seeps into daily life here, creating a paradoxical bustling yet curiously laidback attitude that is evident in everything from the sandy beaches to the sense of wilderness pressing against the glittering skyline.

When to book cheap flights to Perth

The temptation for Britons visiting Australia is to escape the winter and dive headfirst into Australian summertime. However, this may be inadvisable for those seeking cheap flights to Perth from the UK. The local summer holidays take place in December and January when the weather is also stiflingly hot.

A better time to find cheap flights to Perth is during the local spring and autumn, when tourist footfall reduces and the temperature is tolerable.

If it’s a cheap air fare you are after, avoid booking during Easter or Christmas holidays too.

How to find the best flight deals to Perth

While the sheer distance means cheap flights to Perth are not easy to come by, we can offer a few tips that will increase your chances.

Booking from April to June, or September to November, is likely to turn up the best deals.

The more flexible you can be on dates, the cheaper flights you are likely to find.

If flying from elsewhere in the UK, choosing ‘Nearby Airports’ under the search bar will serve a similar purpose.

While flight times vary depending on connections and airlines, ideal travel times are:

What are the must-sees in Perth?

Being over 1,300 miles away from the nearest large city, Perth has somewhat of a tradition of being all things to all people! As a result, it’s famous for its theatre and arts scene, fine dining and other entertainment.

The real draw here though is the wilderness, which is evident within the city itself, from Kings Park to the botanical gardens of Mount Eliza.

Beyond the city limits, another popular pastime is hiking in the lush, forested hills of Western Australia.

The true undiscovered gem here though is the Ningaloo reef. A tenth of the size of the Great Barrier Reef, it’s nevertheless an exquisite alternative and perfect for scuba divers.

Tips for travelling in Perth

The biggest joy of Perth is its remoteness and proximity to nature. Australia is very protective of its eco-systems and has strict customs and quarantine procedures to protect local biodiversity. As such, visitors must not bring any food with them into the country. Seeds, nuts, fruits, vegetables and other plants are strictly prohibited. If by accident you do bring foodstuffs with you, be sure you declare it – customs officials are friendly, but may not be if you break the rules!

We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you’ll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Perth in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you’ll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
  • You’ve probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your trip to Perth easy and painless. Below you’ll find some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

  • First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don’t have to dig around for them.
  • Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
  • Travelling with your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as it’s in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
  • The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
