But what price a Business Class ticket of the future?

In 1953 the cost for a family of two adults and one child, to travel from Hobart to Sydney return by Short flying boat, cost the same as a new FX Holden sedan - the better part of a year's wages.

Today that same family could do the same return flight for significantly less than a week's wages.

Accept and embrace change. It is inevitable!
