For that, it's worth a comparison of OOL vs BNE. If I've meetings in a Gold Coast hotel someplace, flight frequency and timing can often make the difference between either flying MEL-OOL (Jetstar, anyone?) or opting to fly MEL-BNE and driving down on that treacherous parking lot they call a freeway.

Gotta say some of those SIDs STARs look overly 'scenic'
So what you're really saying is that WSI is only for holiday travel? Here's a slogan: If you've time to spare... choose WSI!
