So you can't tell me that it's so flippin' expensive to fly that route simply because of supply and demand.
$2,000+ return for a family of 2 adults and a child with over 6 months lead time 😡.
Go on, keep telling me that's fair when I could pay a shedload less for a longer flight to other parts of the country, or even the world.
Not everyone in those parts of the country earn mining salaries.

You seem to contradict yourself.
It IS supply and demand, the demand is low so they cannot fill aircraft so fares go up.
If you think Bne -Mt Isa is expensive try Bne -Winton, or Bne - Richmond!
Supply and demand works both ways.
