Ansett is still flying, but there is always talk that 4 airlines are 1 or 2 too many for Australia with it's small population. Only time will tell. <BR>The main problem with Virgin Blue and Impulse at the moment is they don't cover a very wide area, for example they don't fly to Cairns or Perth. I think they are planning on expanding their flights and this will undoubtedly help consumers (more competition, lower prices). <BR>Kay

Virgin Blue fly into Townsville every day and alot of people are either hiring a car or busing further north. Friends did this a few weeks back and paid A$198 return Brisbane/Townsville and said the service was great on the plane. alittle more basic but when you save over 100 bucks on the other airlines..who cares!!

I flew Virgin Blue from Brisbane to Sydney last year and not only did I get an excellent price, the flight was great. sure, it's definately a no-frills airline (ie. no on board meals unless you pay extra etc.) but for a short flight like brisbane to sydney (2hrs) you don't need it.
