I LOVE the Royal, so does Lamese. We want to pick it up and place it somewhere on the coast, preferably within stumbling distance of my house!! Also, the couple of times I've been there, they have happy hour, which I think is between 5 and 6pm. Pretty sure it's buy one, get one free! ;D |

unfortunatly flying out on the Sat is out of the question... and I can't afford the time off work on Tues, and where I fly out of I have to fly into... ahh should have organised it all earlier!!!
Hmm, can get a return with Virgin for just over $200.
The problem with flying Jetstar is that they only fly into Avalon... which is expensive to get to from Mel!

Not true, my flights are into and out of Tullamarine on jetstar. EDIT: and the ones I looked at just then are Newcastle to Tullamarine and back again. |

Flights are now booked through Virgin, ick I arrive in Mel at 0715hrs, and will prob still be drunk. ;D |

As a general rule, I don't fly with Jetstar. Most annoying thing about them is you have to be at the airport 1hr before flight leaves, whereas with Virgin it's only 30mins.

booked through the jetstar website as a jetsaver fare. Might be a domestic leg of an international flight then. The upside is slightly bigger seats - the downside...customs. Let us know how it goes! |

Let us know how it goes! customs is heaps quick if you are flying domestically on an international flight the real downside is seeing all the cheap duty free liquor knowing that you cannot buy it! |

As almost 12 months have passed since I was last in Mel..... I should be safe from running into anyone who may have witnessed my drunk and disorderly performance last Mel Cup Day!!
