QANTAS today announced new 3 x weekly Newcastle (NTL) and Hobart (HBA) – Perth services to be operated by all-Economy Class QANTASLink A319 aircraft. These flights, commencing in September 2025, are primarily aimed at the FIFO mining sector in Western Australia, however the Perth – Hobart service is a brilliant addition for Oneworld Explorer LONEX flyers.

Only one trans-Continental flight from SYD/MEL/BNE/CBR – PER (or vice versa) is permitted on these tickets. However fare rules have not been updated to include Hobart – Perth so suddenly MEL-PER-HBA-SYD becomes possible, or if you really want to rack up the miles then SYD/MEL/BNE/CBR-PER-HBA-PER-SYD/MEL/BNE/CBR becomes possible.

PER-HBA services will not operate during May, June and August.
