Qantas is launching new non-stop flights between Australia and Europe – giving Aussie travellers seeking out a European summer the option to book a “circle fare”.
From July 12 next year Aussies will be able to fly direct from Perth to Paris in addition to the airline’s two existing direct routes from Perth to London and Rome.
The new 17-hour flights will take off just in time for the European summer and Paris Olympics, with the opening ceremony on July 26.
Travellers will also have the option of booking a “circle fare” which allows them to fly into Paris and return to Australia from London or Rome on the one ticket, or the other way around.
Qantas told news.com.au “circle fares” were ideal for customers who want to visit multiple destinations.
The option is already there for Rome and London but with the addition of Paris, Aussies can now fly in and out of Italy and France without going to London.
Qantas offers daily non-stop flights from Perth to London and seasonal services from Perth to Rome, which take off again on June 15 next year.
