Minimum connection time in Perth

BluBoy on 04/07/2024 - 23:36

I'll arrive into Perth International (T1) on AirAsia, and would like to make a Qantas flight from the Domestic terminal (T3) 1 hour and 15 minutes later.

I will be travelling with carry on only. I can use the express lane at immigration. I'll do online check-in and go direct to the gate.

… Assuming Air Asia arrives on time, I know it's a ridiculously short layover, but is it possible? Alternatives are a 12 hour layover (and an extra $500 for the flight) or a 25 hour layover (and a hotel nearby over night).

    T1 and T3 are two separate buildings 16-20 minutes drive apart.
    I don’t like your chances.

      • Clear immigration in 20 minutes.
      • drive over in 20 minutes.
      • Find the new gate in 20 minutes!

      … 15 minutes to spare ???

        Clear immigration in 20 minutes.

        Not if they screen you and your carry-on. Also depends on your seat and which runway you've landed on you may still be on the airplane 20 mins after landing.

        Drive over in 20 minutes.

        I see you have a car with engine running parked at the pick up/drop off area.

        Find the new gate in 20 minutes!

        I mean it's your tickets. Good luck.

    AirAsia x will prob arrive early and the Qantas flight will be delayed I reckon you’ll be fine

      This has been my thinking too 😀

      I have more confidence in Air Asia, than I do Qantas! At least I dont have any luggage for them to throw about!

    T3 is quick and efficient.

    If you are held up it will be at T1 clearance.

    Chcek the flight history for your Air Asia service. For example, D7236 KUL-PER has excellent on-time performance.

    This will be impressive if it works or funny if it doesn't so it's a win win for the OzBargain forums. Please keep us updated.

    It'll be bloody tight if both are on time. Is your Qantas fare a full fare so if you miss it, you can reschedule/refund?

    As others have said, T1/T3 are not joined, there is a bus every 20 mins.

    Your only hope is AirAsia arrives early and Qantas is running late!

    I would allow at least 2 hours to do this with carry on, 2.5 maybe 3 hours with checked in luggage.

    I mean i wouldn't. If you're stuck waiting for the transfer bus or there's a small delay in checkin you'll be SOOL, especially if boarding closes some 10 minutes before takeoff.

    no chance of making it in time.

    Depending on the time of day, the domestic security screening can take a while even with priority access due to all the FIFO workers - usually the early mornings.
