    My gf told me this morning about the flight, and of course I thought she heard the story wrong. So, of course I had to google it. I like the idea; but, not sure it would be for me.

    If I've got the numbers right, this 'Flight to Nowhere' starts at about $800 AUD for economy with meals & snacks inc; I think it was $1400 for Business Class; and $1800-ish for First Class.... but more significantly, it's broken all records to become the Fastest Ever Sold Out Flight by Qantas! .

    There must be lotsa people who don't know about 'wind therapy' &/or 'getting their knees in the breeze'!!

    Me, I think I'll stick to my Spyder Ryding! Got a looong weekend with the Child Bride planned for next month, touring the Barossa Valley then glamping our way around my old stomping grounds in the Flinders Ranges.
