eh i would, but at $900 a night, i think not

and i dont think i can be bothered just flying to Karratha for the sake of it...

unless, does anyone have dates of departure?

edit: Dates in Nov and Dec.

Cant imagine anyone wanting to stay in either of these places for a holiday visit. However if you can get $9 up and then $9 back a few hours later would be good for some of the plane geeks on here to try out the new DJ A/C.

i would go but you cant book on DJ return within 30 minutes (min 90), so i would have to do 2 one way bookings.

I would go to somewhere like Karratha for the day, but the flight is at like 6am...too early for me

Well i booked with Mum , 19th Nov.

Leave Perth at 5:45, arrive 7:45.

Depart Karratha 1735, arrive 1930.

Hire a car, go to Karratha, maybe head up to Dampier, should be nice (trying out the E-190 should be an experience too!)

Didnt even get charged credit card surcharge..$36 return for 2! I'd do Newman as well, but they have only 1 flight per day.
