Qantas Launches New Flights between Melbourne and Exmouth

Today marks the first day that Qantas will offer service between Melbourne and Exmouth. The new direct seasonal route will save Victorians who previously linked through Perth three hours of travel time.

From now through October, the national carrier will run two round-trip flights a week between Melbourne and Exmouth using Boeing 737 aircraft, offering more than 18,000 seats during the busiest travel period.

The five-hour direct trip, which will depart on a Sunday and a Thursday, will make it simple for tourists from the eastern, shore to visit one of Australia’s most stunning and inaccessible regions, including the renowned Ningaloo Reef.

Exmouth is the newest addition to Qantas’ large domestic network, which currently includes 65 destinations all throughout Australia. The Qantas network will offer better domestic and international travel links, which will benefit the people of the Coral Coast.

Limited $399 one-way special fares are currently available from Qantas with the assistance of the Western Australian government. The usual lead-in price, for this journey starts at $531 one-way.

A limited-edition amenity kit containing artwork by Western Australian Wongi Artist Kevin Wilson will be given to passengers on the inaugural flight between Melbourne and Exmouth. The kit was created in conjunction with Qantas and Tourism Western Australia.
