Can I make a 2 hours connection at PER on an international flight?
2 hours clears the 60-minute international minimum connection time at Perth International, but you should still head directly to your gate. T1 and T2 sit close together and are linked by a short walk, as are T3 and T4. Moving between the two precincts requires the free Perth Airport shuttle bus, which takes about 10-15 minutes of driving time but often 25-30 minutes door-to-door once you factor in walking to the stop, waiting, and the bus loop. Because passengers exit the sterile zone to board the shuttle, full security re-screening is required on arrival at the other precinct unless connecting within the same Qantas-operated T1.
How much time do I need for a layover at PER?
We recommend at least 1 hour 15 min for a comfortable connection at Perth International. This gives you enough buffer for security (typically 15 minutes) and transit between terminals (up to 30 minutes).
What happens if I miss my connection at PER?
Head to your airline's service desk in the terminal you land in — Qantas and Virgin Australia both staff transfer counters — as ground staff can rebook you and advise on the fastest way to reach your connecting terminal.
