I am in CHC, "normal" online retail fares to SYD are as follows..
$149.00 with DJ
$179.00 with JQ
$189.00 With NZ
$229.00 With EK
with baggage allowance for each airline.
whats the big deal? EK are the most expensive across the ditch, with a B777 against the B737/A320 offerings by the competition. the equipment and cabin product makes the difference.
