Perth Airport (IATA Flight Code: PER) is the main airport of Perth and the fourth busiest airport in Australia.

The airport has four terminals, which for ground transport purposes can be regarded as two precincts. T1 and T2 are side-by-side to the east of the runway, while T3 and T4 are side-by-side to the west.

The airport is a hub for all of the state of Western Australia, and is also well-connected to Australia's mainland capital cities. There are also numerous direct international services into Perth, mostly from Asian destinations.

International Terminal - T1 GPS -31.94151, 115.97407

Terminal 1 serves all international flights into Perth except Qantas' Flights to Singapore and London. There is also a domestic section of T1, which serves all of Virgin Australia's interstate, as well as a few intrastate flights.

International arrivals into T1 are usually well spread out, so you have the luxury of walking into an empty passport control and baggage area. Many visitors will be eligible to use the automatic entry gates (so you flew all that way and didn't get a stamp in your passport.) For tourists they don't need to check your visa because all Australian visas are recorded electronically in their computer system.

If several Flights arrive together, usually mid-afternoon and around midnight and there can be tedious waits for passport control, baggage reclaim and quarantine checks. It's still likely to be quicker than what passes for normal at a congested European or American airport.

Most international visitors will be experiencing a big time switch. Arriving in the late afternoon or early evening gives you the best chance of adjusting: get to town, shower change and eat, and catch up on sleep. Next morning, get your face into that bright Australian sunshine.

Domestic Terminal - T2 GPS -31.94477, 115.97215

Terminal 2 serves most of Virgin's Australia's intrastate flights, as well as all flights on Regional Express Airlines (REX), / Tigerair Australia and Alliance Airlines.

Domestic Terminals - T3 and T4 GPS -31.93388, 115.96027

T3 and T4 are connected on both sides of security, and the gates are numbered consecutively through both terminals. So for all intents and purposes and they're a single terminal. All Qantas-Australia and Jetstar flights arrive and apart from these terminals.

Muslim Friendly Flights from Perth Airport

The services that operate from each terminal are:

Virgin Australia domestic flights with VA flight codes also operate from T1.
  • Terminal 2 (T2), domestic
  • Alliance Airlines, Scoot Tigerair, and former Skywest services (now operated by Virgin Australia) with XR codes.
  • Terminal 3 (T3) and Terminal 4 (T4) , Qantas-Australia terminal
  • Qantas-Australia, QantasLink and Jetstar domestic flights operate from both terminals. Qantas-Australia international Flights to Singapore and London operate from T3, and passengers transferring to/from other airlines pass through Australian immigration, as there are no airside transfers to T1.

Major domestic airlines serving Perth Airport are Qantas-Australia (full-service), Virgin Australia (full-service), Jetstar (low-cost, owned by Qantas-Australia, only flies to a few cities from Perth), / Tigerair Australia (low-cost, only flies to a few cities), QantasLink (a regional subsidiary of Qantas) and the former Skywest (regional full-service, although does fly to Melbourne via Kalgoorlie).

Ground transportation

The cheapest option, and for most downtown destinations the simplest, is the public city bus, which charges the standard 3-zone ticket price of $4.70. Route 380 runs from T1/T2 to downtown Perth every 15 mins daytime, taking 40 mins. Route 40 runs downtown from T3/T4 every 30 mins, taking 40 mins. These buses are limited stop on the airport approaches and suburbs, but downtown you can board or drop off at any regular stop. They terminate at Elizabeth Quay; you can also transfer onto the free downtown buses (see "Get around"). See timetables].

The city and major hotels can also be visited by taxi and commercial shuttle buses. Courtesy phones are located inside the terminals (for the domestic terminal and the courtesy phone is surrounded by a large board advertising accommodation past the baggage conveyor belt as you leave the arrivals area).

For groups of more than two people, it may be cheapest and fastest to take a taxi into the city (waiting time and drop off of other passengers can make a shuttle bus service to the city very long). A taxi by meter to the city will cost about $40 from either precinct.

For large groups of ten passengers or more, local pre-booked shuttle buses may be a more cost effective option. The shuttle costs about $16 per person. There are many local airport shuttle companies providing new model transit vans and small buses that will transport passengers to their preferred destination rather than dedicated city locations. ylimoperth.com.au/airport-transfers-perth-limo/ Airport limousines (stretched limousines) are also available for groups of 10 passengers or more, and can chauffeur clients from the airport to as far as Yanchep in the north or Mandurah in the south.

Car hire is available from all the main companies at T1/T2, at T3/T4, and downtown. There's usually little or no extra charge to pick up at one and drop-off at another Perth location. Many international arrivals will have had a very long flight, a major time switch, and a drink on the way - the drivers' alcohol limit in Australia is near-zero so you'd be illegal. So consider taking the bus into town, acclimatising for a few days and seeing the central sights; then pick up the vehicle downtown, go touring and then return the vehicle to the airport to fly home.

A rail link to the airport is under construction and expected to open in 2020. New freeways are also under construction to the north of the airport and once open these will change the access options from the north.

Get Around

A free bus plies between the two precincts, taking 15 min. It leaves T1/T2 at 10, 30 and 50 min past the hour from 6AM to midnight, and at 25 and 55 min past the hour from midnight to 6AN. It leaves T3/4 on the hour, 20 past and 40 past from 6AM to midnight, and 15 past and 45 past from midnight to 6AM. It doesn't serve the vehicle parks; other shuttles do that. This bus uses the internal road connection along Dunreath Drive. Using the public highway it's a 10-km drive between precincts, and a taxi would be at least $20.

There is no airside passenger interconnection between the two precincts. Connecting international passengers will have to pass through Australian immigration and customs before taking the bus, and all connecting passengers will go through security in the departure terminal.
