Cheap Flights to Perth, Western Australia

Perth is the capital of Western Australia and one of the most isolated big cities on earth, yet for Singapore it is practically a neighbour, sharing the same time zone and lying to the south across the Indian Ocean. Sunshine, white-sand beaches, a riverside city centre and easy access to wine regions and wildlife make it a favourite for family holidays, road trips and visits to students and relatives. Searching for cheap flights to Perth on Traveloka lets you compare times, baggage and fares side by side before you book.

About Perth Airport (PER)

Location

Perth Airport is on the eastern side of the metropolitan area, near the suburbs of Redcliffe and Belmont, a reasonable drive from the CBD. It is the main international gateway for the whole of Western Australia.

Terminals

The airport is split into two precincts on opposite sides of the runways. Most international flights use Terminal 1, though some airlines operate international services from the other precinct, and the remaining terminals serve mainly domestic and regional flights. Check your booking for the right terminal before you head out, and if you are connecting between precincts on separate tickets, allow time for the inter-terminal transfer.

Getting to and from the airport

The Airport Line, part of Perth's suburban rail network, runs from Airport Central station beside Terminals 1 and 2 to the city centre, making the train a simple and affordable option. Buses also serve the terminals, including the precinct on the other side of the runways. Taxis and ride-hailing cars wait outside arrivals, and major car rental companies have desks at the airport, useful if you plan to drive south to Margaret River or north to the Pinnacles.

Direct and connecting flights to Perth

Singapore to Perth is a popular nonstop route with several departures through the day, including convenient overnight flights. Turn on the Direct filter and the nonstop list appears on its own; from there, the useful comparison is whether checked baggage and meals come with the fare. Families and students heading home often need a larger bag allowance, so check that before choosing a low fare. If you are continuing to other Australian cities, compare a connection in Perth with flying directly from Singapore to your final stop.

When to fly to Perth

Perth has a Mediterranean climate with more sunny days than almost any other Australian capital. Summer, from December to February, is hot and dry, perfect for beaches. Winter, from June to August, is mild and wetter, with cool evenings. Spring, from September to November, brings the famous wildflower season across Western Australia, while autumn is warm and settled.

Demand from Singapore rises during the June and December school holidays, over Christmas and New Year, and around Chinese New Year. University term breaks bring extra travel too. Shoulder months such as March to May or September to November can offer quieter trips and pleasant weather. The fare chart on this page shows how prices for Perth tend to change across the year.
