Where is Coolangatta airport?
Traveled several times recently from Sydney to the Gold Coast on Qantas. The booking says Gold Coast, the airport monitors say Gold Coast, the boarding announcement is for the Gold Coast. Get seated, fasten seatbelt and just before they close the doors I am reminded on the PA that this flight is going to Coolangatta. What? Am I on the wrong flight? Sh*t, I quickly need to get off this aircraft that I have incorrectly boarded......or do I?
Imagine if I was a tourist, and believe me there are more than a few that travel from Sydney to the Gold Coast, I would believe there was something wrong.
QF flight attendants; it is called Gold Coast airport, it has not been called Coolangatta for many years. Just because it is coded as OOL means nothing. SGN is not called Saigon airport any more. Get with it
