Qantas takes off for Paris
Qantas has introduced flights to Paris with its new Perth-Paris service.
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 service will be operated on the airline’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner which has been specially designed for longhaul travel, with all passengers benefitting from large windows, high cabin humidity and mood lighting.
