Qantas, Australia’s national carrier, has introduced a new direct flight route connecting Brisbane to Palau, offering an exciting opportunity for travelers to explore the pristine beauty of the Pacific. Branded as the “Palau Paradise Express,” this route replaces a previous service operated by another airline from May to October last year. While the former operator continues to serve Palau through a multi-stop journey, Qantas’ direct flights are set to provide a more seamless and convenient travel experience, making it easier than ever for Australians to access this Pacific gem.

This addition marks the fifth international route launched by the airline from Brisbane in the past year, joining other destinations such as Vanuatu and Manila. The Brisbane-Palau service officially commenced in December and is operated weekly by Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Flights depart Brisbane on Saturdays and return on Sundays, encouraging week-long stays to explore Palau’s breathtaking attractions.

Palau, a Pacific nation of over 300 islands, is celebrated for its pristine beaches, hidden lagoons, and vibrant marine life. The introduction of this route offers Australians a new opportunity to discover the beauty of this relatively untouched destination.

The Palau Paradise Express is part of a broader initiative supported by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through the Republic of Palau Development Cooperation program and the Australia-Pacific Partnerships for Aviation Program. These efforts align with the Australian government’s investment in strengthening Pacific connections and enhancing regional tourism.

With international travel rebounding to pre-pandemic levels, this route not only meets growing demand but also brings Palau into the spotlight as a unique destination for adventurous travelers. The airline’s expansion from Brisbane underscores its commitment to offering diverse and convenient travel options while promoting exploration of the Pacific’s hidden treasures.
