apparently so:
"There are two separate terminal precincts at Perth Airport that are separated by a short, 15 minute drive: the T1/T2 precinct and the T3/T4 precinct." - 5 minute drive is short, not 15minutes lol???
have a look at this link. You will see the terminals qantas uses for it services.
T1 - all international
T3/T4 - Qantas domestic services

There are so many ways to get to the UK anyway - Shanghai has become an common port to use as well these days.

Perth is a lovely city in its own right but as a stopover destination it doesn't really cut the mustard and break the journey up much being less than 7 hours flight time. It will be a gamechanger alright, for anyone living in Western Australia.
Jetstar's international long haul services are serviced by a fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. Jetstar’s 787-8s are configured with 21 seats in Business and 314 seats in Economy.

The terminals are on opposite sides of the complex, literally divided down the middle with the runways between, I took their free bus service from Domestic to International. (Magically my bags also made the trip safely)

If you can call it business class. Note the economy has a seat pitch of only 30 inches for long haul flights ! https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Je...eing_787-8.php
Folks please scroll through some of the featured user comments on the right hand side of the page to see for yourself what customers think of how QAN have configured this plane for their Jokestar subsidiary.
Surely QAN wouldn't expect people to put up with a 30 inch seat pitch on a 17 hour flight

Be a bugger if AIR allowed this

Just imagine those punters who assumes the caller is a long long away so has to yell into the phone to make sure thy are heard

Tons of negative comments about Air 'Rip Off' New Zealand 787 seats too.

Some people are like sheep, its in their nature to bleat. Fact, Jokestar's business class 787 seats have less width and pitch than AIR's premium economy 787 seats !.. Like I said earlier, Business class, if you can call them that, (really not even premium economy). AIR keep winning awards for their premium economy seats and recently got sixth in the world for their economy class seats. 30 inch pitch for long haul travel must surely rank right up there with AIR Asia X as amongst the very worst in the world. Possibly okay if you are of slim build and under 65 kg and also under five foot eight, otherwise

North American bookings up 5% on last year. Talking to an AIR rep in IAH recently, she happened to say yields were higher than expected right across Nth America.

Dead right there mate, reading those bleating comments on the likes of Stuff are enough to do your head in, for every valuable comment there are 3 trolling ones from people who lives operate in a tiny box space.

Not saying AIR doesn't have issues but I think they deal with it better than this.
Caught up with a mate today that paid for return airfares with AIR to Brisbane and back, the return flight was a surprise to him when he boarded a virgin plan - code sharing - he said you notice the difference in service from staff and economy seats in the virgin plane were noticeably smaller. Good news is he said he will double check in future and make sure he is on an AIR flight to avoid the same thing happening again.
