Yep, it's a no-frills service but the A320neos are new and the staff are super friendly. Plus, on the way home you get the VIP treatment at Denpasar airport because it's a secondary hub with its own check-in desk downstairs.

Present company excluded, when is it "gut instinct" and when is it casual racism?

I know it's not scientific to generalize from a series of one, but my recent flight from Perth to Bali return on a Citilink 320Neo was absolutely faultless. I couldn't recommend them highly enough considering they were exactly half the price of Jetstar.

On what do you base that, Daver6?

I recently flew from Perth to Denpasar return on Citilink flying A320neos both ways and was very impressed. What was even more impressive was the fact the airfare was exactly half what Jetstar was charging for the same route at the time.

Indeed she did! :)

Well, as they say, "once bitten, twice shy"! Now that I have that arcane knowledge, I'm going to use it. Thank you for your reply. :)

Thank you, now I get it. It was worth publicly embarrassing myself to find out!

Thank you for explaining that to me, I'm glad I made the effort to join AFF now. :) 1698797360 Thank you for pointing that out, I'll never make the same mistake again. :)

Can you explain why when I inputted exactly the same parameters on the Velocity site of my daughter's last trip it was quoting me 441,600 points and $889.60, then?

Yes, it was my bad because I left the purchase to the last minute and no rewards seats were available. 1698713267 Yes, I made a big mistake which is why I joined AFF.

I've tried to blot the whole terrible episode out of my mind, but from memory I recall it being around $2800.

150,000 of them came from an American Express deal and the rest were double or triple FlyBuys points on a Coles Mastercard. But, yes, I take your point.

I didn't buy the ticket until two weeks before the flight, so I had no choice. :( 1698647943 Yes, that was in fact my justification at the time. :)

I also forgot to add that it cost $1200 on top of that because she was flying on July 4th, the absolute peak of the season! Poor use of points by any measure, you would agree. :(

In 2015, my wife and I flew return from Perth to Rome, business class, on Emirates which cost us 500,000 Qantas Frequent Flyer points. This year, my daughter flew Qatar, economy class, from Perth to Amsterdam return and it cost 500,000 Velocity points. That's how much things have changed!
