The new direct flights between Perth and Paris marks the return of the Flying Kangaroo operating services to the City of Light for the first time in 20 years.The route will cut around three hours off the current fastest travel time between the two cities and is the longest non-stop flight to France from anywhere in the world. Flights will initially operate four times per week over the busy European summer and Olympic and Paralympics before moving to three services per week from mid-August. The new route will add an additional 75,000 seats between Australia and Europe each year.Escape 21 July 2024Hotel ReviewPhoto - Qantas

Business Class ReviewTravel

A $7554 one-way flight that wants an extra US$10 for wifi?

The onboard lounge is the highlight of this business class flight, with cocktails, snacks, live sports and a convivial atmosphere. But I don’t like the nickel-and-dime approach they take for those who aren’t members of the airline’s frequent flyer program.
