Doh - sorry - I saw the other cheap fares but missed this one! Even got availability over new year

Gosh, that was slow getting to you, hopefully you get some booked though. I booked some flexi's this morning that are good prices as well and upgraded to J for half the amount of normal points.

Don't ask me why and I will probably regret it but I booked 3 Qantas returns OOL-SYD and 6 Virgin returns OOL-SYD for the grand total of $810 or $90 per return or $45 per flight.

Heck it costs ~$13 to go from Central to BNE airport so these airfares are a bargain.

Back to $99 on Qantas website now and I think the usual OOL-SYD airfare on Virgin website is $75. It will be interesting to see how low the "normal" sale airfares will go.

But does that include baggage? What is the point of going to the Gold Coast (unless it is for a status run - fair enough) without baggage

At least the $48 was all inclusive! With bags and something to nibble/eat as well! The extra $9 was worth it!

Availability of cheap flights over New Years however is pretty good!

Robert, how much extra is baggage for that route?

Obviously for status folk, baggage will be included.

Have to wait and see what the QF catering is like, but one thing is that it's not a Cityflyer!

Granted, I don't fly them a lot, but for non-status peeps, baggage is an additonal $12.

Maybe they'll do a "Gold Coast inspired" menu...

Clive Palmer Burgers (weighing half a tonne)
Meter Maid coughtails


And instead of flying in on a Dreamliner, it'll be a DreamworldLiner

who needs baggage for domestic flights at all unless you're a shopper-holic or moving house of course

recommend watching "up in the air" for ryan bingham's thoughts on checked baggage on domestic flights!

 

[Robert Qld]

A lady must have multiple options to choose from before leaving the hotel room...

Seriously, I have travelled Australia as well as Internationally for my sport before and I need to have checked baggage, even for short weekends - because other then the extra weight the sporting equipment takes up, one also have to factor in trying to get metal studded boots past security isn't really a great idea!

On Qantas baggage is included and unless the rules change baggage will be included for me on VA flights until at least August 2014!

People who commute and live in a hotel room and can't be bothered washing/ironing or spending extra money on dry cleaning!
