Seems like Bendigo is going to have regular flights to Sydney. Beats driving over to Tullamarine and back. Decent price for flights but given they are the only airline flying the route expect the price to go up after the sale. Fares include checked bags and seat selection (can either pick window or aisle).

From The Bendigo Advertiser:

TICKETS are now on sale for Qantas flights between Sydney and Bendigo. From March 31, 2019, QantasLink will operate flights six days a week with its 50-seat Q300 turboprop aircraft, and daily during the peak summer season. The first flight will leave from Sydney on March 31, 2019, and touch down in Bendigo in the evening.
Bendigo will have its first flight to Sydney on April 1. QantasLink will offer special fares of $129 one-way between Bendigo and Sydney, for travel from March 31 to October 26, 2019. The sale ends December 17, 2018.

Flights take from an hour and 50 minutes to two hours.

          I'm from Bgo, live in Sydney and can't wait. There are lost of ppl from central Vic that would prefer this option than driving to Melb. But keep it up scab.

          You'd be surprised how much wealth there is in Bendigo. As with other regional cities like Geelong and Ballarat. There's a lot of perks with not having to borrow 10x your income to buy a house, allows you to afford other luxuries such as… Plane tickets

      For anyone who lives in Bendigo, Castlemaine, Maryborough or Echuca though, this might be a huge benefit over driving to Tulla.

    Q300 turboprop

    No thanks.

    hour and 10 minutes

    Technically and realistically impossible. False advertising.

      Yeah looks like the news article has corrected it now to 1 hour 50 minutes

        Still pretty impressive to be able to travel back in time 40 years in 1 hour, 50 minutes!

          As a resident of Bendigo, all these jokes are making me angry. I keep returning to this page, trying to think of comebacks, but nothing's coming to mind, it's driving me crazy. It's like I'm powerless here.

          It may seems counter-intuitive, but commercial planes generally travel slower now than they did 40 years ago.

    Would've been great when I was in uni. Bendigo pretty easy drive to tullamarine anyway though.

    • neil on 11/12/2018 - 11:47

      The issue is more the parking and getting there for early flights. My in-laws are out in Gippsland and overseas flights tend to leave early in morning so either got to leave in the middle of the night or stay in the airport hotel before. They usually do the latter.

  • movieman on 11/12/2018 - 11:52

    Wow, nice to see more airport options for Victoria, than just Tullamarine and Avalon.

    This is great. Setting up an office in Bendigo in the new year. Will make trekking between my Melbourne. Bendigo & Sydney offices a lot easier. Any news on a regional Qantas Club opening too?

    Biggest surprise for me is that Bendigo has an airport. I remember visiting a client in Bendigo (yes, it does happen!) and didn't even think of flying in. Flew to Tullamarine and hired a car. More competition between airports (hello Avalon/Air Asia) is a great thing for customers.

    • odysseus on 11/12/2018 - 13:10

      They only recently spent some millions upgrading the airport facilities at Bendigo to enable this service. It wasn't suitable before.

    Doesn't seem that great a deal. e.g. it's the same price as the special price Sydney to Melbourne on Qantas right now - $129.

    Certainly not bad, but there have been better prices on the Syd-Mel route, so it's just consistent with their regular discount pricing for that route. Not a fantastic bargain of its own.

    • Cluster on 11/12/2018 - 13:11

      Plus add the transport cost and time to travel 140km from Bendigo to Tullamarine.

      • odysseus on 11/12/2018 - 16:28

        Yes, it's fine if you actually want to go to/from Bendigo, but not any better than the current deal to/from Melbourne; hence what I said that it's comparable to their standard specials and not a particularly great "bargain".

        And that Syd-Mel for $129 hasn't even had a post about it as it's not that great.

  • chibichip on 11/12/2018 - 15:43

    Aw yes! I actually wanted to live in Bendigo for a bit :)
