Didn't think I'd see another J sale so soon!

CNS-SYD J is cheaper than a Flexi!

For those looking to do a SC run, SYD-CNS, MEL-BNE, ADL-BNE etc is $3.33 per SC, and with the double points promo, for a platinum I think it's 3,000 points each way.

I have merged threads as this is the second sale, worth subscribing to this thread for notifications if further sales come up like they have today.

Emailed the wife to get on this one... at least I'm not on a damn plane this time

Re: VA Happy Hour - 30 August - J Sale

Even CNS-BNE-SYD on J is $200 each way! I wonder if you earn SCs on each leg or start/final destinations though.

VA calculate SCs on the distance between the origin and dest, regardless of how you get there. CNS-MEL booked as CNS-BNE-SYD-MEL on the one booking would only earn you CNS-MEL

If it tickets as one coupon, then it'll be start and final points only.

That said, haven't some people been able to call VA to split itineraries?

Maybe a lounge run for someone then .....

Re: VA Happy Hour - 30 August - J Sale

As great as these sales are, and I haven't missed it this time, $200 for business class seats doesn't look good for Virgin!

They are clearly not selling seats, while they will fill up some empty seats on these flights, I am not sure the offering is enough to get people to say "Heck that was so good I'll spend $500-$1000 and fly business next time"

Oh well $200 for MEL-BNE is a bargain!

 

[drewbles]

BNE-MEL is there. MEL-BNE isn't?

 

[Jousams]

Yerrp, I think it's inclusive of both ways?

MEL-BNE-MEL is showing here!

Re: VA Happy Hour - 30 August - J Sale

Does anyone pay full price for Business?!?

 

[drewbles]

MEL-BNE-MEL is showing here!

Interesting. Just has 'MEL-PER' and 'MEL-SYD' on mine. I really shouldn't be spending cash anyway

 

[MarkD]

Yep, just booked BNE-MEL BNE on the 1.10 Status run for me and the youn=g fella. $800 return all in for 2 x J seats. Even picked a lunch flight down and dinner back
Virgin, get my Platinum card made up please, as I will have earnt it flying 99% saver fares on your planes and want it immediately after the 1/10

How many J SYD-PER-SYD do we need to go from Red member to Plat?
