I can see it all now Dennis...we can rent a tent from Renniks for our departure lounge (I can remember when Virgon did that) and I reckon there are a few old Ansett planes hanging around NZ somewhere so we could probably get mates rates on one of those. We could have a sausage sizzle with cold binnies for passengers on departure day (much better than boring old cucumber sandwiches in that stuffy qantas club) and we could get rid of those ridiculously uncomfortable airport departure gate chairs and replace with them with swanky new pool deck lounges - that way everyone will get to sit on a pool lounge at least once during their Bali holiday! We could reconfigure the plane to three grades - Bemo, Bluebird and Transport transport; and we could do the food and bevvies off one of those genuine Balinese food vendor carts - that ought to keep the catering costs down! We could convert one of the toilets to a temple for those who want to experience the real Bali before they even leave Australia and we could offer inflight T-shirt, watch and transport transport bargaining training instead of showing one of those crappy old movies that everyone has seen 22 times already. We could henna tattoo the seat allocation and boarding pass info onto everyone's right bicep - think how much we'll save in paper! We could have the ground crew scatter empty plastic water bottles all around the cabin and we could hand out the amenities kits in plastic bags that people could simply throw wherever when they are done with them. For a touch of authenticate bali, we could issue first-time travellers with black plastic amenities bags. Ah yes...come fly with BaliXpress!
