Hi, can I pick your brain about the merits of a cab v. other options from Hobart to the airport for this sunday morning?
I suppose it will have to be a cab but wonder if a shuttle van is possible.
Being a Sunday morning there may not be demand.
(My DJ flight is at 0700 so I suppose I'd need to be there 05.45 or 06:00?
If I do online checkin with no bags, can I cut that to 45mins in HBA?)
Cheers!

The Airporter bus that I took says they go out for flights as early as 0600, so that would seem an easy enough option. As small as HBA is, can't imagine you need to be there more than an hour early.

Sweet, thanks Tom. I recall on my previous trip (a work-provided 'reward/break' :D) it took a while to get to the city from the airport.
Thanks for the link. ^ All I need to do now is keep myself occupied and/or awake until pickup.
As long as the Casino is open I should be okay (NB I am content to save silly gambling fun for the future) ;)

FYI The 05:30 bus took around 35mins from the first/furthest stop, Wrest Pt Casino.
Tranport was an oldish Toyota Coaster 22 seater, one of many from this company, which is based at the second stop, next to a backpackers.
Phone to make a booking on one of the 0419 xxx xxx numbers (PM if you need it) before 8PM of the day previous to your pickup day.
It's a bargain at $12.80 for anyone without a hire car, compared to a taxi cost of perhaps $50. :)
Thanks again to Tom911 for passing this on after my question. ^
