Current time: 4: 27 am. Current location: sitting on the curb, outside of the warehouse they’re calling a legitimate air port terminal. Matty, Raf, Anna and myself opted to fly Tiger Airways, and if you lived in aussie you would know tiger airlines by their ads boasting dirt cheap rates. Soon as we rocked up to the place, we knew why. Its literally is one warehouse, one terminal, and one check in counter. And everybody else walking in the door, looks the same as us. Young, poor, and equally sketched out.
Current time: 4: 55 am. Current location: sitting in the departure cave, on plastic seats waiting for our 6:50 flight. We just got through the security check in and weight in, and raf and i successfully pulled off the 'hide our laptops in pillow case' manoeuvre, and made it under the 7 kilo weight limit. For our trip were not checking any bags, just carry on. It’s a nice way to travel, and especially since I barely trust this airline with my own safety, I really don’t think they could handle the responsibility of a bag that can’t look after itself.
Current time: 6:55 am. Current Location: In seat 17E beside Raf and Anna. Our plane has been delayed due to fog in Sydney, so were waiting in the plane. thoroughly enjoying the 3.5 inches of room between my seat and the seat in from of me. As of yet, the wings and aircraft are still in one piece.
Current time: 8:12 am. Current Location: outside of the luggage claim, waiting for Anna to get out of the bathroom... typical. As well were waiting for Steve, Matty’s dad to come pick us up. It’s steve’s 50th birthday today and he’s driving us back to Wollongong to stay at matty’s place for a few days before we come back to Sydney. So we made it, exhausted because we haven’t slept yet, but appreciating the experience of cheapest flight in Australia. And, I guess now I know what to expect when i play 52 dollars for a round trip ticket to Sydney and back.
