Business fare increase?

[Plutonus]

Is it just me or was there a business fare increase across the board over night? Was there a business sale on I didn't notice?

Oh well, makes half point upgrades all the more inviting

What airline?

What airline?

This is in the virgin Australia area and the OP talks about half price points upgrades. I'd guess virgin Australia, personally.

Seems to be a small increase yes of $20-$50 for east coast flights

Virgin are kidding themselves as loads on MEL-SYD-MEL and MEL-CBR-MEL on all flights I have been on are very low!

 

[Plutonus]

Yes, this is in regards to Virgin Australia.

Hmm I was looking at BNE-MEL and return yesterday. Pricing was $599 each way. Now it's $850.

Definitely wait as no doubt they will have a sale/drop prices again!

Happened many times before

I assume the dates for those VA fares were pretty soonish? But I agree at those prices the J class bookings call centre would be listening to the sounds of *crickets chirping*

Out of interest - did you look at similar date QF J class fares?

I have noticed that the PER - MEL's have come up to $1300 or so again.

If we are talking MEL_PER flights I assume thats $1300 each way on VA J? Not really surprising as I had a look at QF around early Oct and everything MEL-PER is $1500-$2700 in J class one way!
