What if my flight is delayed?

Is this cheaper than a rideshare?
Often, and more predictably. Rideshare pricing on this route rises with demand, so an evening arrival or a wet Friday can cost considerably more than the base fare. Ours is around $69 – $84 whenever you travel, confirmed before you book. Call 0460 306 061 if you would rather confirm by phone.
