CHEAP SEATS FLYING OUT
AUSTRALIANS who miss out on the government’s 800,000 half-price flights may have another opportunity to snap up a discounted fare.
The deputy prime minister said if the remaining tickets sell out, the government remains open to extending the scheme and would “quite potentially” release more cheap tickets.
“When those 800,000 tickets are gone, I’m very happy to look at what we can do in the future,” Michael McCormack told Sky News on Thursday.
“We’ll look at Cairns, we’ll look at places like Darwin, Kangaroo Island. We’ll see if the program has worked successfully as we wanted it to.”
