$39 is pretty good, but then you blow the budget by getting the $289 taxi trip to the airport

dynamik gal · 31 Oct 2003, 05:50 (Ref:768805)

And just to let you all know that the prices are for travel in both directions, eg: Melbourne to Adelaide $39, or Adelaide to Melbourne $39, etc. Cheers!

I'll definately be taking advantage of the deal to Melbourne for the A.G.P.

Hmmm, sorry I'd rather pay full fare for a Qantas flight... fewer kids

**GTRMagic** · 31 Oct 2003, 22:36 (Ref:769707)

Who cares about having kids on the flight if its less than half the regular price? For that kind of pricing you could almost buy 2 seats, and not have anyone sit next to you

sevi · 31 Oct 2003, 23:01 (Ref:769729)

Do you only get that price one way?

Blueprint · 31 Oct 2003, 23:16 (Ref:769739)

The work either way so you just by 2 one ways, bargain

pete55 · 31 Oct 2003, 23:17 (Ref:769740)

Just double it Sevi, we want you to come back.

You've got to be kidding, for that price i'd put up with a plane load of kids.

I'm with you on that one they cry like all mighty when landing,I know it isn't their fault and has something to do with the pressure on their sensitive ear drums but it is very annoying ( and embarrasing for the poor parent) unfortunatly thay are a nessesary evil unless you can hire a private jet.

Price isn't really an issue but if you have checked in at the valet parking,booked a car detail,strolled down from the Qantas Club 5 mins before departure time to take your seat in the front couple of rows of the plane!!!!!enjoying a few free crownies during the flight

and enjoy seeing your bag waiting for you on the carosell with a little orange tag on it,is it.

**GTRMagic** · 1 Nov 2003, 02:15 (Ref:769830)

Should we all be writing to Mr Branagan as asking if we can borrow the MN private jet he alluded to in a post here recently?

And travelling via the Business Class and Qantas Club route is good fun if someone else is paying... otherwise it gives the American Express card a little too much work to do

Try sitting next to a new born who if it isn't crying is either throwing up or crapping it's pants for four hours and you'll understand

sevi · 1 Nov 2003, 14:39 (Ref:770128)

Thanks Pete.

I still prefer Qantas anyday though, but they are good prices if you can get there and back on the times you want, which never seems to work for me.

Evidently I missed that announcement where Qantas banned babies and toddlers from all of its flights!!! :confused: :confused: :confused:

**GTRMagic** · 2 Nov 2003, 09:19 (Ref:770555)

They do in the front section of the plane

Crash Test · 2 Nov 2003, 09:41 (Ref:770565)

Yeah, but isn't a part of the new Qantas business class that they'll give you an adult nappy to save you getting up and walking to the crapper?

**GTRMagic** · 2 Nov 2003, 09:42 (Ref:770568)

If they were serious they would stop feeding you curry junk that starts eructations that would otherwise survive the duration of the flight!

Crash Test · 2 Nov 2003, 09:53 (Ref:770576)

Would that be like a baked bean breakfast? Reminds me of the time on Ansett one morning when I mistook a white piece of sausage for a pikelett....

They haven't, it's just that most families now fly Virgin because it's cheaper. Apart from that, kid noise is encouraged on Virgin flights

**GTRMagic** · 2 Nov 2003, 22:00 (Ref:770977)

So are good looking hostesses who dont mind showing some flesh, or even the illusion of flesh.... but we dont see many people complain about that

JFL · 2 Nov 2003, 23:51 (Ref:771064)

I'm the sort of guy who you all must loath on Qantas.. I take my 2.5 year old from the Qantas Club (where she runs around like a mad woman) straight to the plane & into her own business class seat.... the way I see it, I have seen adults create more unpleasantness on an plane than any sick / whinging child....... and besides her seat costs just as much as mine does....

**GTRMagic** · 2 Nov 2003, 23:58 (Ref:771073)

Its a an hour and a bit flight to Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide... who cares if you have to put up with a little noise for such a short time?? Its not as if you can seriously get into any reading, comprehension, work on the laptop, or fun on the Gameboy in that length of time...

Exactly GTR.

With my job I fly almost weekly between SYD/MELB/ADEL/BRIS and we have a corporate deal with QANTAS, so it's always with the flying kangaroo.

But I've also flown Virgin a few times privately and never had a problem.

It's the event, not the flight over that you should be looking forward to.

I'm a Sydney boy, so really, for me only the Sydney - Perth flight really drags...

Syd/Melb is only an hour and Syd/Adel is only two....

The bottom line is that less than $200 bucks from Sydney to Adelaide return is dirt cheap...

If you want to pay $500 or more, just so you can say you've flown QANTAS, then do it.

In my view that's $300 extra that I have for accomodation, food or good old alcyhol!

JFL · 3 Nov 2003, 00:22 (Ref:771086)

Exactly GTR. People who commute from Central Coast to Sydney CBD would have more time on their hands than a Melb-syd flyer.......
