I have flown Easyjet once and it was quite ordered but as you say everyone goes for the front. Not sure why as there is nothing to be served first. Easyjet number the boarding passes and let people in roughly by boarding pass no.

I always prefer the front to get off, get baggage and into taxi queue quick. However, if spending my own money not sure I could afford the taxi fare from Avalon, probably costs more than the flight:rolleyes:

I saw a picture of the airport on the news like night. I hope the weather is good when you arrive. I guess they might do something like the old virgin blue shack at Sydney airport.

They were also saying that it was on the freeway. Maybe a mexican can answer that.

no luck yet with jetstar. keep getting through to the last bit, but either time out, or eventually after 10 or so goes tells me the fares are gone. tried again after 30 minutes and the fares were back, but the cycle continues......

got a $58 to cairns with the gf through VB tho.

will keep trying!!!

Then she was up at 5am Qld time to try JetStar and after about three "we are processing your request ...... there has been an error" she finally managed to get something :)

So, 4 of us are off to Tasmania for a week - total flight cost $248.

As far as I could tell (when I could finally get something other than an error page) neither of them were offering flights to or from Adelaide. :(

Adelaide and Perth do not have any jetstar routes so virgin blue probably feel that they do not have to compete on those destinations. I guess that will change as Jetstar expand.

Nick, just keep trying, thats all I did, back button & then try again. i got numerous "This page cannot be displayed" & as Dagboy said about 3 "We are processing your request ....... ooops sorry there has been an error" but I finally got a confirmation & a reservation number. Mind you, I was up at 5am to do it & it took me over an hour :eek:

Tassie, here we come :D .

We also managed to get $39 seats out from Bris to Whitsundays with VB, but none coming back. Never mind now there is a bit of competition I am sure they will have sales again soon.

Hmmm...think I went to the wrong site, maybe thats why I didn't get tickets...
