How much do Perth to Adelaide flights cost?

Sale fares for Perth to Adelaide flights cost from around $99. But otherwise one way tickets on flights from Perth to Adelaide start at around $145.

When you see the alternative, paying for a flight from Perth to Adelaide quickly becomes more appealing. The drive from Perth to Kalgoorlie takes six-and-a-half hours on its own, and that’s before you enter the notoriously samey Nullarbor Plain.

The full Perth to Adelaide drive is 2,696km long. Google Maps reckons it should take a trifling 28 hours. Now, you can turn that into a road trip. See the Superpit in Kalgoorlie. Play the Nullarbor Links golf course. Learn about the Skylab crash at Balladonia. Watch whales at Head of Bight, drive past the Lake MacDonnell pink lake to surf at Cactus Beach and swim with Australian sea lions at Baird Bay.

But even though Australia Travel Questions had a marvellous time on a Nullarbor road trip, it’s only right to accept that this is a niche flavour of holiday. And the Perth to Adelaide train journey can take even longer.
