But even then the cheapest one-way ticket is a hefty $219 per person
Totally agree that the lack of seats is appalling. BUT the above comment just goes to show how ignorant most Australians have become about aviation. Hefty? Please! In real terms people paid more than four times that 10-15 years ago. Yeah the LCCs have all but taken over but that is partly due to people demanding to pay 1980s airfares.
Qantas/QFLink always put on more flights to HBA and LST during Christmas. Where has the love gone?
I guess the 737s are busy doing SIN-CNS and SIN-DPS-PER...
