PERTH, DIRECT: Say Hello to the West Without the Stress

Newcastle to Perth

This is the flight Newy has been waiting for. And now, it’s here.

A Game-Changer for East Coast Travellers

From 8 September, travelling between Newcastle and Perth just got a whole lot easier. Qantas is launching direct flights, finally connecting the Hunter region to Australia's west coast in just five hours. It’s the kind of announcement that will make FIFO workers breathe a sigh of relief, bring distant families closer together, and offer business travellers a smoother alternative to the usual airport relay race.

Three flights a week – Friday, Sunday and Monday – mean you can time your trip to suit work schedules, family reunions, or spontaneous weekend escapes. Say goodbye to long layovers and frantic airport sprints. It’s a new era of convenient travel, designed with real life in mind.

From the Tarmac to the Turquoise

Step off the plane in Perth and straight into sunshine. This city boasts more blue-sky days than any other Australian capital, and it's not just the weather that will win you over. Perth is a vibrant urban hub with a laid-back soul, offering something for every type of traveller.

Craving coastal calm? Wander the shores of Cottesloe Beach. Seeking local flavour? Dive into the buzzing bar and café scene in Northbridge. Bringing the kids? Kings Park’s treetop walks and playgrounds are perfect for young adventurers. And if you’ve got a few days to spare, take a road trip out to Margaret River or the Pinnacles Desert to experience the wild and wonderful corners of WA.

Work, Reconnect or Roam

These direct flights aren’t just about saving time – they’re about reclaiming it. Less time in transit means more time for what really matters. Be it catching your child’s weekend soccer match, finally saying yes to that west coast work opportunity, or simply exploring a new city without the stress.

This new route brings opportunity. It brings people together. It brings Perth closer than ever before.
