SFA Grand Final flights left already!

[94_Eagles]

Call me a premature organiser, but I was on the qantas site trying to book frequent fliers and they're all gone already back until the Monday before! Then I tried VirginBlue and there's nothing under about $600. This is worse than Grand Final week last year when I got a flight for about $500 over there on the Friday night and it's only just gone March!

Anyone got flights yet just in case?

It may only be March but a lot of people have had the same idea as me if the flight situation is any indication! Good luck getting a flight under $1000 if u book in June or later!

I agree, it's choc-a-block these days.

The last two years we have booked in May and got seats at a reasonable price (I think they were $290 last year one way). They were expensive at this time of year last year as well, so just wait a while until something cheaper is released.

yeah we booked in june last 2 years

I have booked a package deal through Travel and sports to make sure I have a ticket this year.

Though I also have mates who drive a large camper over for the weekend at a cost of about $500 a head

[94_Eagles]

Sooo... what everyone is saying is seats become cheaper as the year wears on? Very intreiguing, I needn't panic yet!

The one up-side to being in Canberra: bucketloads of planes to Melbourne!

(not that I'm suggesting anyone fly via here. It's still a hole.)

I never realised you were in Canberra.
It's no wonder you have the time to moderate.

I spent all of my teenage years in Canberra - Downer (the suburb - not having a go) Is driving to batemans bay as fast a possible to get a burger or chips still the most exciting thing to do there ?

Dodging large hailstones has become popular lately. And of course you can always cross the border and laugh at people who live in Queanbeyan.
