Exactly.
I think the Jetstar pricing is very very tempting though.
If you take into account the $5 CC fee charged by Tiger, Jetstar is a good $31 cheaper per person per flight, which is $62 cheaper returned. If you have more people the saving would be very substantial. (A saving of $248 for a family of 4)
Oh the savings are there for sure. In fact at this price I think most people would be happy to go to Avalon :)
Personally, I wouldn't. Here's why:
I made the mistake of going to Avalon for a bargain once before. The (2) tickets were saving me around $60 over traveling from Tullamarine.
But, it took around $15 in fuel $35 in parking and 45 mins (extra) in my time. I ended up saving myself about $20 when I factor in the cost of dropping $10 to a friend to drop/pick us up from the airport.
All things considered, I'd much prefer to fly from Tullamarine. But, I'm sure everyone is different :)
@[Deactivated]: Hence why I said most people ;)
But I agree with you, if it was me I would still go to Tulla.
cacbm - if you have a look jetstar charges $3 CC fee per sector, so only $2 less than tiger
I think Jetstar might have to offer these fares over the actual holidays before getting my money or many other people's vote…. Jetstar $69 out of AVV or TT $68 out of MEL…
Sorry Jetstar, Tiger for me now!

http://adioso.com/feedI want the cheapest method to get to Melbourne CBD.
How long will it take to WALK to Melbourne CBD?
How do you get from Avalon to Melbourne CBD?
Is there a FREE "shuttle bus"?
Do Trams go there?
I have all day - that is, the length of time to get to CBD is not important to me.
- Tullamarine to CBD is about 25km, so assuming you walk 5km/h, its about 5 hours? Then again, I'm not sure its possible as its all freeways leading out of the airport
- Avalon to CBD is about 50km, so I think that speaks for it self
I personally wouldn't walk, and would strongly advise against it.
There is no free shuttle bus as far as I'm aware -
Tullamarine to Southern Cross in CBD via Skybus is about $30 from memory.
Avalon to Southern Cross via SITA Coaches is about $20 to $25 from memoryThere are no trams from the airport.
guys this offer hasnt finished (or expired) i just booked tickets to go on the 9th of may. even the times are excellent for a saturday at 5pm, although id have liked a bit earlier.
anyway there are plenty of choices, its a bargain and a half.
cheers for this.
SNAP! I guess this is in retaliation to Tiger launching their new Melb -> Sydney route. Damn good deal at $39 but I'd rather pay the $68 and leave from Tullamarine airport.
