Attn Perth-ites: $9 fares to Newman & Karratha

[Steve Jones]

As part of the celebration for the launch of the new flights. Fares on sale from 5pm WA time.

[Tim C]

Flying who etc?

[Mark Howarth]

Will be DJ!

[Michael Morrison]

My guess would be virgin blue as they have recently announced they will be flying new WA routes?

[Montague S]

$900 for a room per night though... :p

[Rhys Xanthis]

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

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

unless, does anyone have dates of departure?

edit: Dates in Nov and Dec.

[Tim C]

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.

[Rhys Xanthis]

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:p

[Rhys Xanthis]

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.

Karratha and Newman what can you tell me about them, is this to get into the 'mining market', I dont know alot about either of these two destinations.
