Collected between 29 October 2026 and 31 October 2026. Not live — check with the airline before booking.
Perth Airport (PER) serves Perth, Western Australia. Its four terminals are split between two precincts: Terminal 1 (T1) and Terminal 2 (T2) in one, and Terminal 3 (T3), Terminal 4 (T4) and the General Aviation area in the other. The two precincts are a drive apart, and several airlines are listed at more than one terminal, so check the terminal on your booking before you set out.
The Airport Line train stops at Airport Central, which an enclosed walkway links to T1 and T2, but T3 and T4 have no direct rail connection. Flights landing in Perth from another state also come under Western Australia's quarantine rules, and fresh fruit and vegetables are generally not allowed in.
The airlines recorded on direct domestic flights from Perth Airport include Jetstar, Qantas, Virgin Australia, Rex, Alliance Airlines and Airnorth. Direct domestic flights recorded from Perth go to these destinations, with the airlines recorded on each:
Perth Airport lists two international terminals, T1 and T3, and four domestic terminals, T1 to T4. T1 and T2 share one precinct, and T3, T4 and General Aviation are in the other. The operator sets out which airline uses which terminal in Perth Airport's terminal guide.
As of September 2026, the operator's terminal list places the airlines in the table above as shown below. Jetstar, Qantas and Virgin Australia each appear at more than one terminal, so the terminal on your booking is the one to follow.
| Terminal | Precinct | Flights handled | Airlines listed there |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1 | T1 and T2 | Domestic and international | Jetstar (international), Qantas, Virgin Australia |
| T2 | T1 and T2 | Domestic | Jetstar (domestic), Virgin Australia, Rex, Alliance Airlines |
| T3 | T3, T4 and General Aviation | Domestic and international | Qantas, Airnorth |
| T4 | T3, T4 and General Aviation | Domestic | Qantas |
Jetstar moved its domestic flights to T2 in September 2024 and uses T1 for its international flights. Virgin Australia allocates its flights between T1 Domestic, T1 International and T2 by flight number, and describes the three as a short walk apart. Rex states that it runs all its Perth services from T2.
Qantas is listed at T1, T3 and T4, which sit in different precincts, so a Qantas passenger in particular should confirm the terminal before travelling. The operator's list also has a General Aviation group of operators, in the same precinct as T3 and T4, so the terminal on your booking is the one to follow. Airnorth is listed at T3.
A free terminal transfer bus runs between the T1/T2 and T3/T4 precincts, every 20 minutes between 6am and 10pm and every 30 minutes between 10pm and 6am. Taxis and rideshare also serve every terminal. If a connection means changing precinct, allow time for the bus.
Perth Airport is served by the Airport Line train, public buses, taxis, rideshare and the operator's own car parks, and the operator provides dedicated kerbside drop-off and pick-up areas. The operator also lists car hire at the airport.
The Airport Line opened in October 2022, and its stations for the airport are Airport Central and Redcliffe. Airport Central is about 18 minutes from Perth Station and connects to T2 and to T1 Domestic and International by the Skybridge, an elevated, enclosed walkway with travellators and lifts. From the walkway, a lift or escalator takes you down to the station concourse.
Redcliffe is about 15 minutes from Perth Station but is not directly connected to T3 or T4. Bus route 292 runs a circular service between Redcliffe Station and the T3/T4 pick-up and drop-off areas, every 12 minutes at peak times. Going to T3 or T4 by train usually means changing to route 292 at Redcliffe.
SmartRider cards are sold at Smarte Carte on the T1 International ground floor.
Route 37 runs Monday to Friday between Airport Central and Oats Street Station via Belmont Forum. Route 940 runs seven days a week between Elizabeth Quay Bus Station and Redcliffe Station via Great Eastern Highway.
Taxis run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from ranks outside every terminal, with an extra rank on Valentine Road in the General Aviation area. The operator names Black and White Cabs and Swan Taxis, and notes that some drivers may ask for payment before the trip starts. Western Australia's Department of Transport regulates the taxi industry.
Uber and DiDi pick up from all terminals, at dedicated bays within easy walking distance of each one.
The operator's parking includes ShortTerm (T1 to T4), ShortTerm Saver (T3 and T4), Premium (T3 and T4, the closest to check-in), LongTerm (T1 to T4) and LongTerm Undercover (T3 and T4, covered by shade sails). A free bus runs from LongTerm parking to the terminal every 15 minutes, and Regional parking is in the General Aviation precinct.
Motorcycle parking is at T2, T3 and T4. Accessible parking bays are in the ShortTerm and LongTerm car parks.
Free wifi covers T1, T2, T3 and T4 on the "Perth Airport Free WiFi" network, which asks you to register. Airline lounges are in the departure areas of T1 to T4, and the operator's list includes the Perth Airport Aspire Lounge and lounges for Qantas, Virgin Australia and Alliance Airlines. The Virgin Australia Lounge is in T1 Domestic on Level 1, just past security screening; lounge eligibility and hours are for your airline to confirm.
Lockers are at every terminal: at T1 International near the Short Term Car Park by the Arrivals Hall, on the pathway between T1 Domestic and T2, and at T3/T4 on the walkway between the terminal and the Short Term Car Park. Bags can be stored for up to 6 weeks, and oversized items such as surfboards and golf bags go to Smarte Carte at T1 International.
A non-denominational room for prayer or quiet contemplation is on the T1 International ground floor, near the public Arrivals Hall. Showers are at T1 International, on the ground floor before security and on Level 2 after security. Charging stations are listed at T1, T2 and T3, automatic teller machines (ATMs) are spread through the terminals, and baby change facilities are at every terminal.
For watching aircraft, there is an outdoor viewing platform on Dunreath Drive and an indoor one on Level 3 of T1 International.
First aid rooms are on the ground floor of T1 (International and Domestic), in the T2 check-in hall, on the T3 ground floor and on the T4 first floor near arrivals. An Amcal Express pharmacy is on Level 1 of T1 Domestic, after security.
Wheelchair-accessible toilets are at every terminal. A Changing Places facility is on the T1 International ground floor and needs a Master Locksmiths Access Key, and Service Animal Relief Areas are on the ground floors of T1 and T4.
Western Australia, Tasmania and South Australia each set their own rules on what travellers can bring in, and the one that applies depends on where you land. The sections below cover arriving in Perth from another state, and flying from Perth to Hobart or Adelaide.
Western Australia's rules come from the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), whose quarantine service is Quarantine WA. DPIRD's advice is that if you are in doubt about an item, you declare it to a quarantine inspector or put it in one of the bins at the airport. Inspectors with sniffer dogs may check your baggage and hand luggage as you collect it from the carousel.
DPIRD says fresh fruit and vegetables are generally not allowed in, apart from listed items such as pineapple, peeled and diced watermelon, peeled onions, peeled garlic, carrots and corn on the cob with the husk removed, and those only if they are free of soil, pests and disease with no green growth or sprouting. Green salads are not permitted. Fruit and vegetables hard frozen on arrival are permitted, with exceptions that include grapes, mangoes with seeds and some fruits of the Myrtaceae family.
Cooked and tinned food is allowed. Honey is prohibited unless certified on a Health Certificate, and plants need prior approval from Quarantine WA through an Import Approval Request. Quarantine WA is on +61 8 9334 1800, and DPIRD's guide to what you can bring into Western Australia sets out the rules in full.
Tasmania's rules are applied by Biosecurity Tasmania, part of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania. Fresh fruit and vegetables are not permitted, including potatoes, fresh herbs, garlic, ginger and onion, and nor is abalone. Garlic and onion are on Tasmania's not-permitted list even though Western Australia allows them in peeled.
Canned, baked and commercially dried foods and cheese are allowed if they are commercially produced and clean. You declare food at the biosecurity checkpoint or dispose of restricted items on arrival, and a Biosecurity Tasmania officer may inspect some items and makes the final decision. Biosecurity Tasmania is on 1300 368 550.
The Department of Primary Industries and Regions South Australia (PIRSA) requires fruit and vegetables at risk from fruit fly to be eaten or disposed of before you enter South Australia. The rule applies to all travellers under what PIRSA calls a zero-tolerance policy, and a shop receipt does not let you bring at-risk produce in.
PIRSA's prohibited list includes fresh fruit and fresh vegetables (with some exceptions), avocados, fruiting vegetables such as capsicum, chilli, eggplant and tomato, soil, and grapevines and cuttings. What else is allowed depends on the state you travel from, and the Fruit Fly Hotline on 1300 666 010, open 24 hours, assesses some items case by case.
In May 2024, Western Australia's state government announced a redevelopment committed to by Qantas and Perth Airport, with a new terminal at Airport Central targeted to open in 2031 and a new parallel runway expected to open in 2028. The plan also includes two multi-storey car parks and an airport hotel, with upgrades to T3 and T4 to add capacity during construction.
The operator's own project page describes a new domestic terminal to relocate Qantas Group operations and an expansion of the existing T1 International facilities. Its stated aim is to consolidate all commercial flight services in the Airport Central precinct.
Jetstar's domestic flights use T2, where they moved in September 2024, and its international flights use T1. Both terminals are in the same precinct, and the Skybridge links them to Airport Central station.
Perth Airport lists Qantas at T1, T3 and T4. T3 and T4 are in a different precinct from T1, so check the terminal on your booking before you travel. The operator also lists a General Aviation group of operators in the same precinct as T3 and T4.
A free transfer bus runs between the two precincts every 20 minutes between 6am and 10pm and every 30 minutes between 10pm and 6am. T1 and T2 share one precinct and T3 and T4 share the other, and taxis and rideshare serve every terminal.
There is no direct rail connection to T3 or T4. Take the Airport Line to Redcliffe Station, about 15 minutes from Perth Station, then bus route 292 to the T3/T4 pick-up and drop-off areas.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are generally not allowed into Western Australia, apart from a listed set of items that must be clean and free of sprouting. Hard-frozen produce is permitted with some exceptions, cooked and tinned food is allowed, and anything you are unsure about can be declared to an inspector or put in the airport bins.
