Tigerair launches cheapest flights ever to the Whitsunday from $33

Tigerair Australia has announced a national sale for travel in May and June with reduced fares on all domestic routes including flights to the tropical Whitsundays for as little as $33.

The sale launched midnight Thursday offers routes including Melbourne – Sydney, Adelaide – Melbourne, Brisbane – Sydney from $33 one way.

Routes with a competitive $66 price-tag extend to Melbourne – Gold Coast, Brisbane – Cairns and Adelaide – Sydney while flights between Brisbane/Sydney/Melbourne – Perth and Melbourne and Melbourne/Sydney – Cairns are available from $99.

Following a run of horrific weather, which tore through the area late March, the Whitsunday region is working to recover from the damage left behind by tropical cyclone Debbie.

Although some resorts including Daydream Island and Hayman Island will stay closed until the middle of 2018 a number of operators have reopened and are luring tourists back to the holiday hot-spot, with the help of Tigerair.

Tigerair Australia Head of Communications, Vanessa Regan said Tigerair Australia is thrilled to be able to support the efforts of their airport and tourism partners in the Whitsundays which is now open for business as usual.

‘While the effects of the cyclone were severe, they were also short lived and the Whitsundays remain a jewel in Queensland tourism’s crown. The way the region and tourism operators have worked together to quickly restore normality is testament to the resilience and passion of the tourism industry in the Whitsundays.’

‘Through our great value fares and commitment to the region, we want to encourage Australian’s to show their support by booking great value travel deals to the Whitsundays.’

Brisbane foam spill not to eat seafood or go fishing near Brisbane Airport

People have been warned , four days after a dangerous firefighting foam spewed out of a Qantas hanger and escaped into the stormwater system.

About 22,000 litres of the foam, believed to have contained perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), was released as a result of a sprinkler system fault within the hanger on Monday night.

While about three-quarters was contained, it’s likely thousands of litres of the foam still seeped into the wider environment and caused the deaths of 20 nearby fish.

Four days after the leak, health authorities warned people to avoid eating seafood or fishing near the potentially contaminated area around the lower reaches of the Brisbane River, from Bulimba Creek to Fisherman Island, and north to Shorncliffe.

The warning coincided with Good Friday, when those of the Catholic faith generally abstain from eating meat and opt for fish instead.
