The cheapest method for domestic travel is:
www.virginblue.com,
www.quantas.com.au,
www.freedomair.com.
Note: if you are going to quote from quantas, check their webdeals! thats where the cost savings start. make sure you go to the "au" website otherwise you wont be able to book. if you want to do the conversion back to USD you can try
www.xe.com for exchange rates. typically the AUD is bout 25% off...
I'm also trying to get quotes for travel from Sydney to Melbourne...but am having problems booking w/Freedom Air. Anyone else have problems with choosing the origin and destination? It looks as if they are do not fly within Australia.
It seems as if the cheapest airfare for mid-march is $150USD. Are there any promos using miles to fly? Similar to inter-island flying in Hawaii for 5k per trip is what I'm looking for! Thanks.
