First, you will fly to one of the Lufthansa Group hubs to connect to your intercontinental flight to Asia. With SWISS, you will fly from Zurich on the Boeing 787 to Singapore; with Austrian, from Vienna on the Boeing 777 to Bangkok; or with Lufthansa, from Frankfurt on the Boeing 747 to Singapore, all of which feature lie-flat seats. Then you will continue to Perth from Singapore with the Airbus A350 or from Bangkok with Thai Airways on the Boeing 787, both of which have a 1-2-1 lie-flat configuration.
Most Europeans need a visa to enter Australia. You can apply for the visa online. It’s best to apply at least 1 month before travelling. The visa is free.
Editor’s Note: We’ve seen a few similar deals lately with Turkish Airlines, but they often involved a flight with Malaysia Airlines, which was worthless for earning miles. So if that’s something on your mind, or you just generally prefer the Lufthansa Group and Singapore Airlines over Turkish Airlines, this may be an interesting option for you.
Search & Book
This deal does not have an expiration date, but a maximum stay of twelve months apply. Departures are scattered in February, March, May and June.
With some dates, you will need to book a multicity ticket in order to purchase on the Lufthansa website. Here is an example and a search form so you can book it directly with the airline.
You can find suitable dates using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on Lufthansa’s website, but you can find cheaper prices with Skyscanner. However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
