D'pirate,

You are correct, CASR 121A.830 states:

For this regulation, an aeroplane makes a long-range over water flight if, during the flight it is at a distance from land suitable for amking an emergency landing that is greater than the distance corresponding to:

A) for an aeroplane that is capable of continuing the flight to an aerodrome if the critcal power unit(s) become inoperative at any point along the route or planned diversions - 120 minutes at cruising speed or 400 nm whichever is less

Commencing 15th June, twice weekly Tuesdays and Saturdays.
$440 plus taxes return. Seems a little expensive but then Air North is involved! Apparently not possible to purchase one way ticket. Visa on arrival at kupang.

Ah Kupang.

Mrs Claret travelled there years ago with a girlfriend, long before she became Mrs C. She and her girlfriend were in their mid 30s, both with young children.

Preparing to depart Kupang and trying to be processed through immigration both ladies were closely, and lasciviously, scrutinised. Mrs C's exit was processed as she was a year older than her friend who was only about 34. Mr immigration man suggested that the friend would have to entertain him for a few days before being allowed to leave.

The one sided tryst failed when Mrs C refused to depart with her friend's children and Mr immigration sensed that two young kiddies tagging along was not conducive to what he had in mind.

Cool

$440??

Well one knows that Kupang is a Sh1t hole but since it is the same distance as Dili why is it $100's cheaper?

Maybe you are quoting the special Airnorth 5 year advance purchase fare with 7 pages of restrictions!

Perhaps it may be a Merpati fare?

Tennant Creek with a beach

Used to send the backpackers that way to get to Bali on the cheap....I think the F28 was hosed out rather than serviced, but them was the good old days!
