Good to have another Aussie on here. When was your last trip to DL? - BLG
1049.5 #82 4:27AM
Last trip was Christmas 2009, very quiet and had most wonderful time. Was planning to go again this year for Xmas but can't. Roll on next year - Nicholas-M
325.7 #495 4:30AM
Do you go alone or with family or friends? Our last trip was august 2007 but as there are 5 of us and Perth is far away and expensive to fly from, it will be a few years before our next trip . In the meantime, I have MW! - BLG

I go with a family of four. The cost are quite extensive but if you look for cheap fares there can be quite good deals. I have found half price fares before. V Australia have 40% off at the moment for their birthday sale. For now though it will have to be the webcam for me. - Nicholas-M

V Australia doesn't fly direct from here. What are they like to fly? I really like Virgin Blue. We flew them to the Goldy last year and are flying them again to Melbourne in 2 weeks. A "cheap" fare from here wouldn't be less than say $1600. Perth is so isolated - BLG

Went with Hawaiian airlines last time and cost 1200 from Sydney, also gave a convenient stop over in Hawaii Which makes a perfect holiday even better. Would fly v Australia next time because Hawaiian airline prices are rediculous now. 2000+ return. Have seen v aust for 800 return on a special - Nicholas-M
325.7 #495 4:57AM
Tacking a return fare to the east coast to that 800 brings it up to $1300. But I bet the flying dates are pretty restricted on a fare that cheap - BLG
1049.5 #82 5:06AM
It probably would. Have only seen it once. I spend most of my spare time looking up flights and tracking them. If you left from Brisbane the flight from Perth with jetstar would only cost 400 return. And then the usual price for v Australia is about 1000 so that would make it about 1400 to la. Plus accommodation. - Nicholas-M
325.7 #495 5:10AM
I don't trust jetstar or tiger - BLG
1049.5 #82 5:13AM
And I have friends to stay with in LA altho we have stayed in good neighbor hotels a couple times. I'd love to stay on property some say. Where do you normally stay? - BLG
1049.5 #82 5:15AM
Never trust tiger( even though they are owned by Singapore airlines, they don't like to share it) but jetstar are usually ok, the worst i have heard was a friend of mine leaving MCY to melbourne and was delayed for 10 hours. If you want a cheap flight, jetstar is good. But virgin is better - Nicholas-M
325.7 #495 5:17AM
I love virgin. Better than Qantas domestic I think. And I love SIA but I can't believe how horrible tiger is. I'd have to be desperate to give them my money. What do you do in Q? I'm a stay at home mum for the most part but I taught high school for over 15 years - BLG
1049.5 #82 5:20AM
I am a student. I think that qantas is toooo expensive. The reason is because you get a small ammount of "free food" and that is supposed to justify the extra money - Nicholas-M
325.7 #495 5:23AM
Many people I know have been put off flying Singapore because they own tiger - Nicholas-M
325.7 #495 5:24AM
The "free" food is anyway. I'd rather wait to land or pay for virgin's food which is actually pretty decent. Flying out of Perth we've gotten some good deals withalaysian - and you usually get a free night with meals in or near KL. Also did executive economy on a special with SIA and it was fabulous! - BLG
1049.5 #82 5:30AM
What did you teach? - Nicholas-M
325.7 #495 5:30AM
English and social studies. What are you studying? Or are you still at hs? - BLG
1049.5 #82 5:34AM
Good "morning" Aussies! this is so interesting! don't mind me, I'll just sit over here and eavesdrop - connielu
672.2 #153 5:34AM
Still in hs, but studying music, computers and physics. - Nicholas-M
325.7 #495 5:35AM
Hi connielu! Eavesdrop away! Nicholas, I have a daughter in Year 9. She's a MWer too. What year are you? What do you want to do when you finish? - BLG
1049.5 #82 5:39AM
Time for bed, nearly midnight - Nicholas-M
325.7 #495 5:40AM
Sure. Nice chatting. Don't be a stranger - keep posting. We need more Aussies in here. Sleep well! - BLG
1049.5 #82 5:42AM
