J to Perth
Hi all,
I need to book a couple of J tickets to PER in Feb next year and I'm not seeing anything below Ł4.5k each (on a combination of BA/Qatar). Has anyone seen anything better recently? I can consider ex-EU if the saving is substantial.
Thanks

Looked at various UK departures, not just LHR?
Looked at MH or CX ?
Unsure if QF codeshare on the EK flight. QF fly LHR-PER non stop, but expect pricing would be high
Or a non Oneworld airline?

There is a Ł2300 fare from CDG on WY which is available in February. The route is convoluted though, via MCT and KUL.
Otherwise, there is a Ł3700 fare from ATH on AF / SQ but again, two stops.
At this fairly late notice, it being peakish time to go to Australia and the general demand situation, I don’t think there are any hidden gems I’m afraid.

Yes I do and have corrected it. 2 stops seems convoluted to me as there is the direct flight from LHR, it does beg the question whether it would be more bearable in Y on the direct flight or the 2 stops in J.

Assuming the layovers aren't hideous, I'd suggest any question being begged is somewhat rhetorical! YMMV though...

It’s a difficult one for me as there would be three transfers if coming from the UK, and whilst I would love to try Oman Air, I didn’t love Malaysian and wouldn’t fancy the overnight in MCT particularly. Obviously the OP could love the look of it, on the other hand. I’m interested to hear what others find as I am going to Australia in Jan / Feb too.

I have used WY/MH to Australia a few times and WY is one of my 1st choices for an airline

I was actually asking for a friend (my dad).
I explained the concept of an ex-EU and the options available. He listened carefully and pulled several interesting facial expressions before declaring he was probably going to spank 10k on two returns with QR from LHR

I'm trying Air Mauritius at Christmas - it's only c700m longer than PER/LHR via the Gulf and a good excuse for a few days en route stop in a 5* beach resort. Around GBP3700 R/T from UK.

Flying time (before transit) about 1.50~2.00 hrs longer than the non stop
What are the transit times?
