So is this $1 including taxes? If so, how is that possible aren't there some standard taxes that have to be paid such as fuel levy etc.....so whats the final price you actually get billed if you book one?

Fuel Levies are NOT standard taxes; they are a way that some airlines try classing part of the basic cost as a tax.

Yep, as Dave says, Fuel "taxes" are not real taxes - they are a schneaky way of earning revenue for airlines. There are true taxes and levies such as departure taxes and GST etc though.
The fare is actually -$61.24 (yep, minus) after tax ($62.74) etc, they come out at $1.
Not sure if any cheap fares are left though.

Re: Norfolk Air- SYDMEL $1
From this month's QF newsletter:
Fly on points to Norfolk Island
You can now redeem your Qantas Frequent Flyer points for Award flights on OzJet between Norfolk Island and Sydney, Brisbane and Newcastle. You will continue to earn points on OzJet when you have a Qantas flight number on your ticket. Book online as usual at qantas.com.
Shame these $1 fares weren't QF flight numbers. 50,000 points for $50 would have been quite good.
Flight departed from Gate 50 at SYD INTL. Flight was close to full...but predominantly consisted of 'older' clientele either travelling to Norfolk Island via Melbourne....or returning to Melbourne after their week away.
I think there were only about 3 pax travelling on the domestic SYDMEL portion of the flight (including my friend and I).
Flight itself was fine - an Ozjet plane with a couple of rows of J class....the remainder was economy in a 3-3 configuration. Were served a Ham, Cheese & Tomato sandwich, Byron Bay cookies and a soft drink. LOL - catering alone was worth more than what we paid for the flight! We had quite a 'rough' landing in Melbourne, and used almost all of the runway up as we tried to stop.
Quickly completed customs formalities at MEL via the Domestic lane - baggage claim area was extremely quiet (just our flight)....and we had a somewhat 'express' exit through the xrays once we collected our luggage.
All in all though, certainly no complaints from me...and looking forward to my next $1 flight in January for the Australian Open....
, sore fingers now.
