I'll just fly via Sydney or Brisbane now and score the extra SCs. It's a shame Virgin are stopping these direct flights from Melbourne as every time I have been on one they are chockers!! Obvioiusly, the economics aren't workign for them right now and, let's face it, every airline screws over so...

I've only ever travelled First Class on the Eurostar - it's worth the extra bucks - and you get a dedicated waiting area/lounge rather than having to brave the normal terminal :-)

P.S. A taxi fare from my address is around $63 anyway, so I'd much rather ride in the back of a chauffeur driven car for the extra $6.

I use Omnicar to get to the airport from Altona North - $69 which seems like a pretty good deal to me. Book online, always reliabel and on time, spacious, clean cars, friendly drivers, even at ungodly early hours and I just don't have to worry. I'm not affiliated with them in any way. I find Uber...

That's fantastic Skippy - how long does it take you?
