Poll: Are you excited about the international flights?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

At 11.15am today the first Jetstar flight from Sydney will land at Hamilton Airport opening the Waikato up to Australia and beyond for the first time in more than a decade.

Gone are the days of long, traffic-jammed drives to Auckland, over the top parking fees, marathon walks to departure gates, and $14 sausage rolls at Auckland Airport.

Are you excited about the international flights? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
