Perth (PER) is the most geographically isolated gateway in this batch, and its numbers show it plainly: all 4 domestic pairs are verified, but none of the 21 international ones are — zero. Even Perth's domestic network stretches further than a typical short-haul market: only the 2,115 km hop to Adelaide counts as short-haul, while Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane are all medium-haul at 3.2 to 4.2 hours.
That's a more extreme pattern than a well-connected coastal hub shows: Perth's shortest international distance in this dataset, 14,487 km to London Gatwick, is already longer than its longest domestic route, and every one of its 21 international pairs, to the UK, the U.S., and Canada, runs 17 hours or more with no verified nonstop record. In practice, Perth's own domestic flights already do some of the work a shorter regional hop would do elsewhere in Australia, and any international itinerary out of PER should be built around a real connection, most realistically through Singapore, the Gulf, or one of the eastern Australian gateways, rather than assumed nonstop.
Perth's 4 domestic pairs are all verified: Adelaide is the only short-haul one at 2.5 hours, while Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane run 3.2 to 4.2 hours, medium-haul by distance even though they're domestic, a reflection of how far Perth sits from Australia's east coast. Qantas, Jetstar Airways, Virgin Australia, and Tiger Airways Australia all appear across the four routes.

Use this table for real distance and time-zone reference when quoting a client, not as confirmation that a nonstop exists, and always check current routing through your GDS.

Only Perth's 4 domestic routes carry a verified historical operating record in this dataset; none of its 21 tracked international connections do, an honest reflection of how isolated Perth is even by Australian standards — every long-haul itinerary from PER should be planned as a connection.
OpenFlights' historical route dataset records 5 carriers operating this city pair, flying Airbus A320, Airbus A330, Airbus A330-200. It's the best-served pair in Perth's whole tracked network — still confirm current-day operation and schedule in your GDS before quoting, since this dataset reflects historical service, not a live timetable.

This reference tracks 25 city pairs from Perth: 4 domestic within Australia and 21 international, to the UK, the U.S., and Canada.
Not among the 21 international pairs tracked here — none show a verified historical direct-service record. All 4 domestic Australian routes are verified, but every long-haul route in this dataset should be planned as a connection.
Because of sheer distance: Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane are all 3.2 to 4.2 hours from Perth, medium-haul territory, even though they're domestic Australian routes. Only Adelaide, at 2.5 hours, is short-haul.
Distance-based estimates run from about 17.0 hours (London Gatwick) up to about 22.0 hours (Newark, Boston, New York), nonstop-equivalent figures; real-world travel time will run longer once a connection is added, since none of these pairs have verified nonstop service.
Qantas, Jetstar Airways, Virgin Australia, and Tiger Airways Australia appear across Perth's 4 verified domestic pairs in OpenFlights' historical route records. Confirm current schedules in your GDS.
