eff 27MAR16 Avalon – Adelaide 3 weekly
JQ632 AVV0905 – 0955ADL 320 357

Makes me happy.. 2 more holiday destinations Avalon shuttle bus picks up/drops off at my front door ($36) ..no rip off parking fees!! I hope people support these new destinations from AVV. I already happily fly the SYD and OOL routes

That's great, not a great time of year to be starting HBA (peak season being Sept - April of course).

Having said that, i wonder if they will try and sell packages to o/s tourists (arrive from o/s into SYD, time in SYD then SYD-AVV and do great ocean road, then AVV-HBA and do tassie then back to SYD for flight home). Convenient for tourists.

There's a reasonable amount of travel from greater Geelong area into Adelaide, so 3/wk may be targeting some of this (rather than driving).

They announced the AVV route last week in Tassie.
Ads on Tassie TV now advertising the new route as a means to tour the Greatv Ocean road.
Although Tassie tourist season is Sept-april the great Tassie northern migration fills the rest of the year.

Great ocean road not that much warmer in July than Tassie....

That's just the ads.We see plenty of them in QLD during winter.Easy to recognise-they are the ones wearing shorts and bare chested for men or bikini top for women.

HBA certainly wasn't surprising considering the extra seat Capacity QF announced a few months ago for the apple aisle.
Pity it's not a daily service, although I suspect it may pick up to daily in 12 months time.
