Are these the cheapest flights ever from Perth? I can't remember any cheaper! I'm considering a day trip to Newman or Karratha, or both. But I'm not sure if these destinations are ideal for day trips...

How much time would you get there though? (On the other hand could you actually afford to stay overnight in one of those places!)

Looks like there's only one flight a day to Newman so it would have to be Karratha (which seems like a better choice anyway), and it would have to be on a weekday.

Booked successfully - there seems to be a reasonable amount of availability.

Interesting. I will probably be working up there (Newman) this summer. AFF meet up ?

Sale ended up being extended to midnight. Must have been a flop...:shock:

There are quite a few jobs being lost in that area, probably why they did the sale in the first place.
