Route notes
Why this routing works
This five-week economy itinerary is built as a clean loop out of Perth, using short stopovers before a longer mid-trip stay pattern. Doha opens the routing with a 3-night break, followed by 7 nights in Jeddah and another 7 nights in Surabaya before the China segment.
The China portion uses an open-jaw within one country: the ticket flies into Shanghai, reaches Beijing overland, then resumes with the flight back to Perth. That surface sector removes the need to backtrack to Shanghai for the return and keeps the final long-haul positioned from Beijing.
With only one overland gap, the ticketing stays straightforward while still allowing two arrival points in China. December departure timing fits a paced sequence of stopovers rather than stacking the longest sectors back to back.
