It\u2019s a sigh of relief for those who prefer direct flights.<\/p>\n<p>The UK to Australia flights can take up to a whopping 55 hours depending upon intermediate destinations and waiting time.<\/p>\n<p>That is almost three days. Some airlines take up to four days with seven stopovers. \u00a0With the start of direct flights,<\/p>\n<p>the journey would be reduced to mere 17 hours. Qantas has initially decided to start off daily flights from London to<\/p>\n<p>Perth with fare starting from \u00a31,094. Qantas signals that the fares may go as down as to \u00a3 900 during special offers<\/p>\n<p>and packages which is great news for travel enthusiasts in particular. Now passengers won\u2019t have to worry about<\/p>\n<p>jetlag, connecting flights, and spots to unwind. They can sleep in their plane and wakeup at their destination in one<\/p>\n<p>smooth flight.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>This route makes Western Australia a new tourism gateway for Australia.

There is a lot of hope that this new route would be a game changer. The introduction of new technology<\/p>\n<p>such as 787 Dreamliner has the potential to change the way people travel. It is already redefining International<\/p>\n<p>flights between UK and Australia. The news is groundbreaking for tourists and business travellers. It would make<\/p>\n<p>Perth and Western Australia a major tourist attraction which is yet underrated and unexplored. Trade and business<\/p>\n<p>between UK and Australia will escalate as people on business trips would be able to save up their precious time.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>It is the\u00a0next stage in the evolution of the so-called \u201ckangaroo route\u201d.
