Qantas Perth to Dubai Fares
Economy fares
A return Qantas Economy ticket from Perth to Dubai starts at around $1,300 to $2,100 in the cheapest 'Red e-Deal' fare bucket, rising to $1,800 to $2,600 in the flexible 'Flex' Economy fare. The cheapest fares are usually 2 to 4 months ahead, outside the UAE peak season (November to March) and the European summer. The cheapest fare includes a carry-on only; the flexible fare includes a checked bag.
Business fares
Business class on the Perth to Dubai route costs from around $5,500 to $8,500 return, with a lie-flat seat, a full meal and drinks service, a larger baggage allowance and Qantas Lounge access at Perth before the flight. The Dreamliner does not carry a First cabin on this route, so Business is the top cabin. For First class you connect in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane. Premium Economy sits in between, at around $2,800 to $4,200 return, with a wider seat and a better meal service.
Qantas Frequent Flyers earn Qantas Points and Status Credits on the Perth to Dubai route, with the earn rate depending on the fare bucket and your Frequent Flyer tier, and the earn is the same whether you fly on Qantas metal or on the QF-coded Emirates codeshare. A typical Economy 'Flex' fare earns around 30 to 40 Status Credits and around 2,500 to 3,500 Points one-way, a Premium Economy fare earns more, and a Business class fare earns the most. Frequent Flyers can also redeem Points on the route, with a one-way Classic Reward starting at around 35,000 to 45,000 Points in Economy, 50,000 to 60,000 Points in Premium Economy and 75,000 to 95,000 Points in Business, depending on the season.
The Aircraft and the Cabin
Qantas uses the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on the Perth to Dubai route, with Economy, Premium Economy and Business class cabins. The Dreamliner is a twin-engine, wide-body jet with around 236 seats in a three-cabin layout — Economy in a 3-3-3 layout with around 32 inches of pitch, Premium Economy in a 2-3-2 layout with around 38 inches of pitch, and Business in a 1-2-1 layout with a lie-flat seat and direct aisle access for every passenger. The Dreamliner does not carry a First cabin, so the Business class is the top cabin on this route. The Dreamliner is a quiet, smooth ride with a lower cabin altitude and higher humidity than older jets, which makes a real difference on the 11-hour overnight flight — most Perth travellers arrive feeling noticeably fresher than on an A380.
Every seat has a seat-back screen with the latest movies and TV shows, a USB port and a universal power outlet. The Business class on the Dreamliner is among the best in the sky, with a lie-flat bed, a full meal and drinks service, and Qantas Lounge access at Perth before the overnight flight. The 11-hour flight is long enough for two full meal services in all three cabins, with complimentary soft drinks, tea and coffee in Economy and a full bar service in Premium Economy and Business. The flight crosses the Indian Ocean, so you usually see open water and the occasional coastline on the approach into Dubai at dawn.
The Airports: Perth and Dubai International
Perth (PER)
Qantas uses Terminal 3 (International / T4 for some services) at Perth Airport (PER) for the direct overnight flight to Dubai. Qantas Club members and Business passengers have access to the Qantas Lounge at Perth before the flight. The overnight departure from Perth lands in Dubai the next morning, a fixed 4 hours behind Perth local time. Allow at least 3 hours before an international departure.
Dubai International (DXB)
All Qantas flights arrive at Dubai International Airport (DXB), one of the busiest airports in the world, with three terminals connected by the free Metro, an indoor garden, a swim pool, a Zen garden and free showers. The city is a 15-minute Metro ride from the airport, and the Red Line costs around AED 5, with trains every few minutes. Taxis and Careem are also plentiful.
Once you land at Dubai International, you are usually in the city within half an hour, and the airport itself is a destination, with the indoor garden, the swim pool, the Zen garden, free showers and a wide range of duty-free and dining. Most travellers stop for two to five nights in Dubai, which is enough to see the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Fountain, the Dubai Mall, the Marina, the Burj Al Arab and the old-town souks, and to take a desert safari. Perth is the closest Australian capital to the Middle East and Europe, so a free or cheap stopover of 24 to 96 hours in Dubai is a common way to break the Perth to Europe trip, and the 11-hour overnight flight makes it one of the easiest stopovers on the network.

Dubai is a year-round destination, with a hot desert climate and a summer from June to August when daytime temperatures regularly top 40°C, so most travellers visit in the cooler months from November to March.
