Will they charge per head?

What about arms and legs? (groan, groan!)

Woot falls festival at marion bay just got that little bit closer 🙂

Another former Hobartion (and possibly Martian) here. Cost isn’t so much of an issue – it’s the bloody waiting around in Melbourne, or driving up to Sydney that gives me the shits.

Brilliant! I hope these routes last 🙂

I looked at the prices and they are only $4 cheaper than flying via Sydney or Melbourne. I thought they could have done better than that, as they wouldn’t have to pay fees to those airports….so yeah, I can only assume they are charging us double 🙂

Mutley,

Thank you. Made my evening.

As another ex-Hobartian, I am pretty excited about this. I’ve lost count of the amount of days I’ve wasted in Sydney / melbourne airport just to get home. Seriously, for something that is under a 2 hour flight, often spending an extra 4 hours in airports each way was crazy..

And hey there Toriness! Nice to see another Tasmanian about. I always said oneday we will rule the world. Looks like we might be starting with The RiotACT..

And how many flights are they going to offer/day????

Yay – this is great news …
