Perth International Airport
Perth International Airport (PER)
Overview
Nestled on the outskirts of Perth in Western Australia, Perth Airport has a decent range of passenger facilities and amenities. The domestic terminals are slightly closer to central Perth, and the international terminal a few miles further out of town.
The airport is modestly sized, and has been criticised for being slightly run-down. In recent years, Perth Airport has seen an increase in passenger flow, so if you're flying at peak times, expect queues and plan accordingly.
