With restrictions travelling into Queensland easing and a new deal to get a $10 flight to the popular holiday destination, it looks like Gold Coast is the place to be right now.
For the rest of today only, you can nab a flight from Sydney to the Gold Coast for only a blue dollar note, with a flight from Melbourne only being one dollar more expensive, all thanks to popular travel site Webjet.
There is, as with all things glorious, a slight catch.
The $10 price is only for a one way ticket to the Gold Coast, with a return flight costing upwards of $50.
The site also charges $35 in fees — $12.95 goes to the Webjet’s booking price guarantee and $21.95 goes to the service fee.
In saying all that, the prices still work out to be cheaper than if you were to just book direct with an airline.
If a family of six were to fly return from Sydney to the Gold Coast, with the $10 one way sale and $50 return flight, Webjet would charge you $400 total. Doing a little bit of math, that equates to $33 per flight, per person.
