I don't think you can. It is not a popular route. No-one who lives in Brisbane wants to go to Adelaide!

Looks like about $100 each way (from BNE or GC); that's as cheap as it gets I suspect.

Virgin has a seat sale on right now, so check that out. Also if you log on to happy hour on the Virgin site you can sometimes get good deals. have you looked at Tiger? They're pretty cheap.

Lots of $50 flights (o/w) on Tiger - not sure if the route has started yet though or if it starts late March?

I see tiger now only accept payment by australian issue Mastercard Debit Card.

How convenient You have to pay to have another card just to fly with them

The wording is a bit misleading.

I think it means if you pay that way there are no processing fees - you can pay by a credit card but get charged $6 per sector per person.

They all seem to do this now. Booking some flights in Europe at the moment and Easyjet, Ryanair, German Wings etc all have credit card fees.

Those ultra-cheap fares come at a price.

It's not just the lo-cos though - Qantas do it, as do virginblue (who I don't really consider a loco).
