Good Morning !!!!

International flight specials from Melbourne

Is this the movement to get some cash flow..... before the half yearly performance results conference on 17th Feb ??? :mrgreen:

They have sales all the time.

There is nothing more perishable than an airline seat!

As a cash flow generator it is doomed to fail - cheaper and better available eleswhere!

Danny Ocean,

A fairly sweeping statement IMHO.

Would you care to post some of the comparisons and explain your logic :?:

Price alone is not always the basis for people to make a decision about which airline to fly.

Is it just me or are the airfares on sale not that special?

I really cannot see anything that stands out. Perhaps the fares to Europe are OK but nothing special. Have I missed something?

The price of JET A1 might have something to do with it, bump up the fuel surcharge and drop the discount as well
