Jnr#1 received a very distressing call from her BFF at about 5.30pm this afternoon. Long story short, BFF's dad is a FIFO oil rig worker, returning to work offshore near Darwin I think (I don't know exact details). He has just had a massive heart attack, is in ICU and on a ventilator. Jnr phoned me at 6:05pm to see what flights were possible for her friend, mum & sister to get to Darwin tonight. I checked MEL departures and found Jetstar at 8.30pm. Their first contact with Jetstar, they were told no seats available. After I told them they need to seek emergency assistance, they called again and got three seats to Darwin.
They will shortly be boarding the flight to Darwin, hopefully it will depart on time.
Can someone please advise a motel or hotel convenient to the hospital? This family has literally left Melbourne with only the shirts on their back and I would like to be able to direct them to somewhere to sleep for however long they need to be in Darwin. Cheap and clean is all that is required.
Mods, please move if required.
