Let it never be said Swans fans are not committed.

While Sydney Airport continues to deal with a backlog of flights and just two operating runways following strong winds since Thursday, one life-long Bloods supporter was not going to let 72km/h cross-winds ground her.

Over the past 24 hours Manly resident Julie Burgess has re-enacted Planes, Trains and Automobiles to get to her seat at the MCG tonight to watch the Swans take on Geelong in the semi-final.

After leaving home on Thursday afternoon via ferry and train she made it to the designated departure gate at 5.30pm only to be told by Jetstar staff at 8.15pm her flight had been cancelled, just one of the 100 which was grounded while the airport operated with just one runway.
