New Lounge opens in MAckay

From their blog

We have today announced the opening of our first-ever Lounge at Mackay Airport as well as including extra weekday flights between the central Queensland city and Brisbane.

On sale today for travel from 5 March 2012, the new service will see us operating a total of 78 flights per week between Mackay and Brisbane, which is the greatest frequency offered by any airline on this route (we also operate a daily direct, return Sydney-Mackay service on our Embraer aircraft).

Ha! We flew in and out of there a few weeks back. Oh well.

Mackay must be one of the most uninspiring larger cities in the country so will not be rushing back!

If you do go there take the hour to drive to Eungella.

We stayed in the wonderful Chalet there to avoid Mackay, atop a mountain in Eungella NQ - "Land Of The Clouds" Never heard of it until this week, and pretty amazing place! View from Chalet is below.

Saw many wild Platypus swimming around there. Until then did not know QLD even HAD any Platypus!
