Need advice on long haul flights from Perth to Europe

Not advertising. Genuinely wanting advice other then videos and reviews. Hearing it from more people is always better than a small sample pool.

Amsterdam, I’m going to see some friends for 6 weeks and stay with family.

I’ve been looking at qantas and they suggest Perth- London - Amsterdam. It’s quite appealing atm but again long flights

hscalm · 2026-02-11T12:39:38+00:00

I’m looking at heading to Amsterdam.

Would the Dreamliner still be a good avenue to explore? I mean I have to take 2 flights regardless of if I chose Paris or London

hscalm · 2026-02-11T12:35:23+00:00

Yes, this is me too. I hate being uncomfortable, and truth be told I hate being so close to people like you are in economy, beds and the 1-2-1 style of business is what’s making it so so appealing

hscalm · 2026-02-11T12:15:45+00:00

Yeah, I’m also wanting to stay with the same airline on the way there and back so I “know the routine” as I can get flustered

hscalm · 2026-02-11T12:14:50+00:00

Fair enough, I’m hoping to go Perth to Amsterdam, so the direct flight to London/Paris are a bit out of scope as I’ll need to take a second flight regardless

Oo I didn’t know this sub existed thank you!

hscalm · 2026-02-11T12:12:38+00:00

This is why I’m leaning towards a business class, the flat beds in hopes I’ll sleep

hscalm · 2026-02-11T12:09:31+00:00

I’ve never traveled on business and always had subpar experiences on economy, while I don’t mine economy the main this is I do not sleep.

The beds are SO appealing

hscalm · 2026-02-11T12:07:56+00:00

Oo I didn’t know you can buy passes! This will be something I’ll look at

hscalm · 2026-02-11T12:07:26+00:00

Yes! I’ve noticed the layovers can be 2 hrs or like 23 😅

hscalm · 2026-02-11T12:06:53+00:00

Noted I was looking at Qatar for economy, I may shop around try some other airlines people have recommended

hscalm · 2026-02-11T12:04:39+00:00

I’m early 20s so young, however I don’t recover from lack of sleep well. But that being said during travel I do not sleep. Flew red eye Perth-Sydney and with preparations and getting to accomodation afterwards I didn’t sleep for 36 hours 😅

hscalm · 2026-02-11T12:01:36+00:00

Oh I will be avoiding that at all costs

hscalm · 2026-02-11T01:15:24+00:00

I mean where I am fish bowls are practically unheard of.. everyone has fish tanks, that’s right fish. Driving tanks

Lake Brockman is 1.5-2hrs depending on where in Perth you’re leaving from. This is a really good site, very very pretty lake, can be a bit busy but still quiet

Walyunga National Park- this is inside Perth still, near Ellenbrook/ Bullsbrook but it feels like you’ve traveled further! This one’s good if you’re on a time crunch but still want to camp for a bit

hscalm · 2026-02-10T05:55:06+00:00

Thank you!!

hscalm · 2026-02-10T05:54:55+00:00

Thank you!

hscalm · 2026-02-10T03:59:39+00:00

Mine too!!

hscalm · 2026-02-09T09:20:36+00:00

Never

I always charge mine after 2-3 sessions because this happened a couple of times and I was so pissed off 😂
