Best times I can see from Mildura to Brisbane is 4 1/2 hours via Sydney or Melbourne
Best fare is $238 REX $350 QF
Are you seriously saying that via MCY would take longer 90min flight, 90min by road 3 hours
Bonza fare $100 + $150 transfer $250
Family $400 + $150 = $550 verses over $1000
Save 1 1/2 hours and a crap load of coin
