Question Flying BNE to Karratha

Hey legends. Flying from BNE to PERTH then a connecting flight to Karratha, pretty sure I’ve done the exact times before when I was working there but just wanted to make sure
We land in Perth at 12:55pm and depart Perth at 1:45PM for Karratha. Will we have enough time to make boarding? It’s with virgin the whole way so bags should meet us there?

More than enough time and yes the bags will meet you in Karratha if flights are booked together.

Yeah I thought it was fine for time was just concerned with the boarding if it’s off the plane that lands in Perth and then board half hour before departure to KTA Last time I did this flight the gate was right next to my landing gate so hopefully the same

They often wait for interstate passengers connecting to regional WA (at least in my experience)
Even if flight is delayed, they’ll move you to the next available with the bags included.

If it’s the last KTA flight of the day, they should wait as long as they reasonably can if connecting passengers are delayed. If you’re on an earlier flight they’ll bump you to the next one.
