Walk a mile

So these discount airlines, they obviously don't pay as much rent to Perth "International" Airport as the normal, aka civilised, airlines.
I've deduced this from the fact that you have to walk miles along the terminal to get to their check in desks and then miles to get back again to go through security and immigration. Why is that? Do they all think that the cheapness enters could do with a bit of exercise? By the look of my fellow passengers this actually isn't a bad idea but it still makes for a lot of luggage lugging. Especially when you are a dick like me and feel that lovely "ping" of the spine when you pick up the bags in a rush to get out of the house. I've just doubled my dose of anti-inflamatories, I'm sure that'll be fine and I won't bleed out for a few days at least.
Another tip if you are heading to P"I"A in the near future. Do not believe the sign at car park H telling you that it's the only place to leave your car for long term parking. This is a big lie to give the bus drivers something to do. There I was lugging luggage around a bus when we sailed past the almost empty long term parking right next the the terminal. Its a bit of a odd thing to do but then look where I am. By the way for all those Perthonians who are a but baffled by the whole 'giant multiple seated car' thing (that's a 'bus' if you don't live in the suburbs) the idea is to get on AFTER the people have got off. If you try to do it all at once then it's a bit tricky. I assume it's the first time many of the locals have ever, and I mean ever, EVER been on public transport.
I have more whining to do (it's early, I'll be much happier for the next post) but they've just called my flight.
Wish me luck.
