The flight from Perth International (PER) to City (LCY) takes Approximately 17-18 hours (including typical routing via Middle East or Southeast Asia).

This route typically routes via Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, or Dubai. Over the Indian Ocean, you'll cross open water for 8+ hours with minimal landmarks. The Middle East crossing (if routed via Dubai) offers views of the Arabian Peninsula, Persian Gulf, and Zagros Mountains. Over Europe, the Alps and Rhine Valley become visible on approach to UK airspace. The actual flight path depends on prevailing winds and air traffic routing, but the midpoint crossing of Asia and the Middle East offers limited scenic window views compared to the departure and arrival segments.
