I got on last November with Tiger and I think it cost me $93 for two of us.

Add to that staying with a mate for five days and what a great extended weekend.

Not sure on current deals.

There may have been a $5 by 4 credit card fee on top of that?

Was not obvious when you booked,,,but was on my statement.

Sorry Sunil - got in on Tiger when the flights there were free - you just pay the tax and return we paid $10.00 each - those fair I have quoted include all taxes!!!!! Only drawback is we arrive Thursday and leave Monday!

We are staying at The Apartments on York 1.5 kms from the ground - got the top floor ($290.00 per night) but it is two bedrooms, living area and full kitchen - we will save that on dinners the tastes that Sainter_Boy has! [Imagine a pre-teen who eats Fillet Steak Blue, Oven Baked Lobster with Garlic Butter, Oysters Kilpatrick and Creme Brulee)

a few weeks ago ou could still get in and out of Launie on the same day for around $100
but was $100 one way when I looked recently
ok if you can stay over better prices- But you then may have accom.

if your going to the Coast prices will not be as good as those who purchased 6 mth ago -after fixture came out.

Wow youve done really well Sainter_dad with that deal !!!!! We are also within walking distance which is nice and Launceston IS that sort of serene place to catch up with friends and have a nice beer in a cosy pub. Looks like your younger Sainters are keen on the diet...you just might have to spend some of that stimulus package $$$$$ on food alone.

Cheers

Yep,they're ranked 4th in the world in aviation safety according to a mate in the industry.

Flown with them plenty of times,new planes, never a problem

???

Why?

If they go broke it's under $100 lost and I'll drive up to clock up some k's.

If they crash literally, well I'm not gonna know about it...

No loss either way.

changed my flight time by over 5 hrs with 3 days notice before the game, would have resulted in me missing the first quarter.

never again.

im thinking of not seeing any home and away in melbs and saving the cash for the finals

this year

It's more the name. The amount of bad press at the Tigers at the moment might rub off on to the airline. Only kidding, I'm sure it's a fine airline with a bad name at the moment.

ont worry about Tiger - by the time we fly they will have changed their pilot and be back on track!
