Fake news

After actually logging into the booking sites.

Qantas Saturday and Sunday one way $199
Virgin Sunday $169
Jetstar From Tuesday $79

How about you get over the whole Ansett thing and realise Qantas isn’t/wasn’t around to save you.

Currently Virgin Australia is operating on a very limited schedule of 6 days a week, one flight a day between Sydney and Melbourne. On Saturday there is no flight. Have a look at what Qantas is charging for a single sector between Sydney and Melbourne on a Saturday. When Virgin flys the price is $155 one way, when it doesn’t fly it’s $753 one way.

We need at least 2 airlines in Australia. Please be mindful of the devastating effect the collapse of Virgin would have on Australian travel and tourism.
