The schedules are quite good if you don't mind arriving at midnight. But because this route has lower priority than SYD or MEL, there's never any urgency to get it away and it is often delayed an hour or so leaving BNE and sometimes from PER too. It's 763 or 738 with the very old cramped overhead bins, get on early if you're travelling with only carry-on.

Arriving midnight on Sunday in PER there's no local bus service but otherwise the no 36 is the most economical way between the city and Perth airport, the local bus stop is the last one outside the Virgin terminal.
How early is advance? The point you make about being delayed rings true with the only two times I have been to Perth - delayed for unknown reasons. Other than the bus to the city how much would a taxi cost to south Perth?
