Some of you lot should have been around in the 1960/70s then you'd realise just how cheap fares are nowadays. Back then a trip down under would take years of planning and a considerable chunk of your savings....and that was just flying in economy. No credit cards either.
Now you get young uns flying off here there and everywhere on a whim in F and J and expecting to be treated like some VIP......you've got it too bloody easy.
