Pretty good price for the Christmas/New Years period.
Mix and match dates on skyscanner
Available on Aunt Betty / BYOjet, both part of the Flight Centre group, some routes cheaper on Jettzy.
Direct booking with China Southern is slightly more, I tested a date and it was ~$200 higher.
Includes food + 2x23kg luggage (46kg)
Adding a stopover in Guangzhou on the way there or on the way back is either more or less expensive depending on the dates
e.g. PER to LGW 17/12 to 6/1 is $1506
with stopover in Guangzhou for a few days —> $1578
Leave Perth on Sunday, Tuesday or Thursday

Istanbul:

It's about the same price (even may save money) to make it a multi-city flight and stopover for a couple of days in Guangzhou on the way there
15/12 to 8/1: $1497
17/12 to 8/1: $1497
19/12 to 8/1: $1562

29/12 to 8/1: $1165 (not included in title)
29/12 to 13/1: $1331
Multi city is also possible and it does make it cheaper in some cases
e.g.
PER to AMS on 15/12
IST to PER on 8/1
= $1546
As someone who loves a good bargain, it's 100% worth the extra $$$ to book via the airline directly…
