This is sort of on the same topic but I was at the Melbourne Golf Expo in the weekend and had a look at the big display for the Turtle Point golf course up at the Whitsundays.
Apparently the mob that own it also own Proserpine airport and are building a new airport next door to the resort and development area (had a pretty model of it).
Now the sales monkey was busy trying to sell me an apartment or something when I asked how do I get there? It's only Virgin or Jetstar isn't it. He replied along the lines of "well once the new airport opens we'll be talking to all the airlines including international, and trying to attract them here, because we will be targeting the premium customer".
Hmmm thought I, can just imagine trying to get my full golf set + a weeks clothes in under Jetstar's 20kg baggage limit.
