I just checked Adelaide to Dps via Perth, departing Adelaide 24 Jul 07, returning 7 August. The price is $1109 inc taxes, meals, drinks etc. (this is Qantas, not Jetstar) Leave Adelaide 8.05am, arrive Perth 10am, depart Perth 12.55pm (just time to do your duty free shopping), arrive Dps 4.35pm. 10 hours total from Adelaide to Dps.
Returning from Dps the connection is better. Depart 1am, arrive Perth 4.35am, depart Perth 6.20, arrive Adelaide 10.40. 8 hours travelling time.
I've done the Singapore trip and unless wanting to stopover in Singapore would not do it again. Perhaps this is a viable alternative for people from Adelaide?
We always travel Per-Dps and have never had a problem. Easy flight, no hassles with excess if reasonable (not 20kg over!!)
Can anyone tell me why so many people are so anti Qantas? I have travelled the world with them and never had a problem. Am I missing something here? Am genuinly curious as they have such a great safety record and are (were) an Australian Airline, which obviously as Aussies we should be supporting.
