Low-cost airlines is bringing Australia closer
The rise of low-cost air fares has brought South-East Asia within the reach of most Australians, while there is the promise that soon we might fly as far as Britain and beyond at a budget rate.
But the coming change in the air will not be written in dollar signs only. On the ground, the possibility of seeing the world more cheaply and easily is changing not only our spending patterns but the way we see air travel, the way we work and how we holiday.
Low-cost flying is breaking down that geographic remoteness that has set the boundaries between Australia and the rest of the world.
Long-distance jets will slowly change the world.
The future growth in low-cost flight will drag journeys closer still. Now you can reach Bali from Melbourne in about six hours for as little as $270 a person one-way.
