'OA' I haven't' been to FLI in ages, used to go there reg when I was young & dumb (SE over water!!!..ohhh ahhhh
) to buy crays at $4 kilo!!
I think FLI isn't a good Eg for driving V flying as really there is no other way to get there other than by air, captive market. AS is simply too far to get there via road unless time isn't an issue. MER is still a fair drive for most so air travel & the fact that holidaying in that area is a popular means flying is good & profitable I imagine.
Pretty much the only reason people fly other than for pleasure is TIME, it's all about time in our fast hectic society & road rage is a good reason not to drive half the time if possible
