Sydney to Grafton

[Capt. J]

Hello,

Last holidays, I went to Grafton to visit a few friends along with my family and a family friend. We are thinking of going there again this Christmas holiday. Altogether there were around 8 people and we chose to travel from Sydney to Grafton by train and it took around 8 hours. The seats on the trains weren't very spacious, they were very cramped together and the ride was very bumpy :*

By air, it would take around 1 hour which is a large difference from travelling by ground. I find travelling by air much better, but do not know any airlines that go to such a small airport. I was wondering whether REX does Sydney to Grafton route. Charter would cost too much and since we have 8 people, one aircraft wouldn't fit us all. Would appreciate if you could give me some advice.

Cheers,

Capt. J

Try a google search on Big Sky Express; they are out of Inverell I believe but I have been told they are starting a service out of Grafton.

Hope this helps.

BigSky Express have taken over the SYD to Grafton and Taree routes from M**air this month using M23's.

With Rex you could fly from SYD to Lismore or Ballina, then drive down to Grafton.

M2's and 3's ... but not M23's

Grafton is hardly a "small" airport...Unless you fly a B747...

And it will take you 25 mins from the airport to town in a taxi $$$.

When we used to take the Dash there, you used to get a discount if you ordered the "shared" taxi. Don't know if Grafton Cabs still do that or not.
