Marty_d Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Hi all, Anyone going this year? Any recommendations re accommodation? Looking like Jetstar to Sydney, hire car and the nearest motel vacancy in Muswellbrook. It'd be great to meet any forum members who are flying in, and drool over your plane! Cheers, Marty 1
facthunter Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Jetstar does flights Melb- Newcastle and no trouble getting a hire car there. Nev 1
skippydiesel Posted February 14 Posted February 14 (edited) Thanks for the info. Marty_d. Tad pricey @ $57.65/day ($88.25/2day) ticket, plus landing fees and the cost of flying in. There should be a concession for fly-in's, as we provide some of the attraction ("... drool over your plane!"). Strangely the Gold Pass price is the same as the proletariat price. Arrivals between 08:00-10:00. No departure advise, however air show ends at 16:00 so presume anytime after this. 😈 Edited February 14 by skippydiesel
Marty_d Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 I think you may be mistaken, gold price is $200 for 2 days. Tickets – Warbirds Over Scone WWW.WARBIRDSOVERSCONE.COM.AU For me the $85 general admission for 2 days isn't bad, compared to the flights/accommodation/hire car etc needed to get there.
Marty_d Posted February 16 Author Posted February 16 Well, I'm all booked.

Flying into Sydney on Friday 27/3, hire car, staying at an Airbnb in Muswellbrook and flying back on Monday 30/3. Hope the weather is good! Massive Spitfire and Mustang lineup by the looks of it. If you're going, send me a PM and it'd be great to catch up! 1
facthunter Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Hire car out of Sydney, North on a Friday and back on a Monday? I hope you are used to DENSE traffic. Newcastle ( Williamtown)-Muswellbrook is an easy drive and the flight time is the same as to Sydney as you get Mucked around getting into Sydney. Nev
Marty_d Posted February 16 Author Posted February 16 As I said Nev the flights don't match up with HBA-MEL. Newcastle may be easier but not if there's an extra 10 hours waiting for flights. Anyway it's all booked now so I'm not changing it.
