Qantas launching Rome flights

Sunday, 15 Dec, 2021 0

Qantas is adding direct flights from Australia to Rome next year.

From 22 June 2022, Qantas will operate the only direct service between Australia and continental Europe, flying three return Sydney-Perth-Rome flights per week to meet demand over the European holiday peak season.

The new flight will cut more than three hours off the current fastest travel time to Rome using Boeing 787 Dreamliners.

Customers will be able to combine Qantas’ Rome flights with its double-daily direct flights between Australia and London, meaning they will be able to fly in and out of different cities on one return ticket through to October 2022.

The Rome service will also give customers another option for reaching onward destinations across the Mediterranean and southern Europe through Qantas’ network of partners.

"We’ve seen amazing demand on our direct service from Perth to London and on our new services to Delhi from Melbourne and Sydney. These are exciting destinations and there’s strong evidence the pandemic is making non-stop flights between Australia and the rest of world even more desirable," said Qantas Group CEO Alan Joyce.

"Italy is the largest market for us in continental Europe for people visiting family and friends from Australia and we think customers will love flying direct to one of the world’s great cities."

"The new route is expected to attract more visitors to Western Australia and Qantas will partner with Tourism Western Australia to boost inbound tourism from Europe.

Fares for the new Sydney-Perth-Rome flights are on sale from $1785 return.

The seasonal route will operate from 22 June until 6 October.

Qantas will offer customers onward connections to 16 destinations in Europe including Athens, Barcelona, Frankfurt, Nice, Madrid and Paris and 15 destinations within Italy including Milan and Venice.
