Special Event Aviation Transport - AFL Grand Final

[Daver6]

So much for Virgin sponsoring the AFL!

Good to see some of that WA wealth being spent in Victoria.

Loose change that fell between the couch

are getting out of Mel for the weekend,

We dissapeared ourselves off to France when the Olympics came to Sydney
Looks like VA the airline sponsor has gone AWOL too.

charters have operated:

Seriously?. No one charted the A380?

.......

On that note when will AFF charter a mystery flight?

While I’m totally onboard with finding any excuse for going to France, Sydney was a great place to be for anyone in Sydney who didn’t want to go to Olympic Park … which wasn’t worth going to, back then, as only the Olympics was there then!

Heard a radio interview on ABC today. A man in UK paid $1800 return to fly LHR-MEL for the grand final. His brother from Perth paid $2400 return from PER-MEL. There is something nasty about that. I hate dynamic/surge pricing. A recipe to gouge.

Joke is on the PER person who doesn't understand "why fly direct when you can connect"

Although I got the impression that the PER guy was time poor.

Awesome! Legit super-surprised that this has not been done for the annual shindig or something. Kudos!!

Shame. I expect that a routing something like PER - DOH - MEL may have been cheaper and possibly slightly more comfortable on a 777 rather than a 737.

Jet stream winds would have helped, different story going back
