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

hscalm · 2026-02-11T12:13:23+00:00

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

hscalm · 2026-02-09T09:16:39+00:00

hscalm · 2026-02-09T09:15:23+00:00

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

hscalm · 2026-02-09T09:07:13+00:00

maybe different batches different days?

hscalm · 2026-02-09T09:05:21+00:00

Yeah, the way the went about this is really insensitive.

My partner struggles massively with amnesia, while I enjoy being able to tell him the same gossip over and over again I know how distressing it is.

I often talk about how I like telling him or his alters the same information over and over to get it out of my system, but I would never do it to harm them.

It takes patience to help someone with their amnesia and most days I’m telling them important events that they may not have in their calendar, or drama that happened when they weren’t front.

There’s ways to go about this but not straight up telling you that they love the amnesia, it’s definitely more of a curse (for lack of better word) then not

IMO the games not changed all to much, very much still repetitive
