Default Flights from Sydney to Perth

G'day guys,

Just wondering whether there's any other airlines from Sydney to Perth besides Qantas and VirginBlue?

Dont think so, not sure if any of the Air New Zealand flights might go through Sydney on there way to Perth? doubt just that leg would be cheaper than Q or VB though.
Have a look at the Perth Airport website:
http://www1.perthairport.net.au/

Im pretty sue if you hunt around on there you can see all the carriers etc that use Perth and probably get a full flight schedule for what/who goes where and when.

Another option is the Train (The IndiaPacific) , http://www.railaustralia.com.au/indian_pacific.htm

"The Indian Pacific is the last remaining trans-continental train journey. This amazing train traverses Australia from cost to coast, between the sparkling waters of the Pacific and the Indian Oceans, a distance of 4352 kilometres.

No other journey in the world crosses so many different terrains in one country, from the spectacular Blue Mountains, through the famous green and gold Sun Belt of Australia, historic Broken Hill, past Australia’s first inland Outposts and mining towns, through the Red outback and across the world’s longest length of straight railway track, 478 kilometres through the stark and desolate Nullarbor Plain."

As a backpacker I did the Indian Pacific journey - 72 hours in cattle class was one heck of an experience. But it is undoubtedly the best way to see the outback, and just about evry type of scenery Oz has to offer.

Cook is a very interesting place in the Nullabor!!! If a little off the beaten track....and in the absolute middle of nowhere.

I also flew with Virgin Blue - and it took 3.5 hours!!!!!
