Qantas<\/strong> inaugurated this Saturday its new non-stop route between Perth and Rome (Italy), becoming the only flight that directly connects Australia with continental Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline will operate the route, which takes more than 16 hours, three times a week on Boeing 787-9 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The direct flight to Rome will also serve as a departure point to other European destinations, including Athens, Madrid, Milan and Nice, with Qantas partner airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate the launch of the new route, Qantas has introduced a series of new Italian-inspired menu items and Negroni cocktails in its lounges and in-flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has also added a unique special collection of iconic Italian films to its inflight entertainment offerings on all international flights with classics such as Scent Of A Woman, Rome, Open City and Life is Beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qantas Group Chief Executive Alan Joyce said Australians are once again seizing the opportunity to travel and direct flights are the way of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are seeing a growing preference for a non-stop flight to and from Australia to make the travel experience as efficient and easy as possible and we hope it will be a permanent change in the way people want to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNearly 20 years later, we are thrilled that our flight path will once again take us to Rome, proving that it truly is the eternal city.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent study commissioned by Qantas confirms that traveler preference for point-to-point flights is higher than ever post-COVID. The attractiveness of the direct route between Australia and London has increased from 45% to 59%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
