Default Need flight help in Aus... Sydney to Rockhampton

Guys, I need a really cheap flight leaving Sydney this week to Rockhampton for a week as cheep as possible.

Jetstar told me they don't fly there, so I'm getting a bit confused by it all because their map says different. Virgin Blue are more expensive.

Parents are going to Emu Park on the gold coast and I think Rocky is the nearest flight destination...

If anyone's got any ideas I'd love to hear them.

Coolangatta airport is the closest to the Gold Coast, Rocky is 600k from Brisbane

Emu parks north of rocky. So syd - bris the a little plane bris to rocky, probably not cheap, guessing around the 400 each way, as soon as you get off the major airports the cheapish (if you can call them that) disappear.

Try qantas they usually do those type of flights.

I think your first post was a little confusing as Emu Park appears to be on the Capricorn Coast and not the Gold Coast as you originally said. I've just googled it and its' abot 44 k's from Rocky, so yes that would be your nearest airport I would have thought.

Looks like there are no direct flights, Virgin Blue $209 one way change to a smaller plane @ Brissie.

Both Qantas and Virgin fly to Rockhampton from Sydney but you have to change planes in Brisbane. Jetstar don't do it.

Jesus, I thought you were joking. I don't want her here Gold Coast? What Gold Coast? No emus here, nothing to see, move along please.

One of those flight sites, tells me I can go to Cairns from GC Airport. Well yes I can, providing I first fly down to Sydney to catch a connecting flight up to Cairns and mid flight pass over GC Airport again
