Cheaper Jetstar flights through .jp

[mushypeas]

i literally just booked MCY>MEL return for $144 - Jetstar's website was $460... shame about the $15 credit card fee but still miles ahead!!!

Is this no longer working? Prices appear to be the same as Jetstar website now.

Doesn't seem to be working anymore from a few searches I just did

If they have "aligned" all JQ Japan, JQ Australia and JQ International fares on the .jp web site to the same level as the fares on the .au website then I can see a bit of "sticker shock" coming up and possibly a drop off in bookings? Remember the Yen may have also depreciated a bit against other currencies so possibly the JQ Japan operation may be feeling a bit of a squeeze with fuel prices and lease repayments? (depending on if lease repayments are in Yen or US$)

May explain the recent shunting of funds from the parent company Qantas to Jetstar Japan as provided the Jetstar Japan operation is sustainable, would be a pretty smart time to move some money out of Australia and into Japan.....

Odd you mention.
I just tried Scoot(.au) and the same flights originating in Singapore and it was about 40% cheaper. Advantage Singapore Citizens.
Scoot were annoyingly close enough to regular fares that I am now flying Emirates. Now I know why under $300 JQ tickets are non-existant - gotta speak .jp.

I checked for Christmas and flights are cheaper again, but marginally - at least in the circumstance below.

Comparing today 25 December Brisbane-Sydney first flight of the morning (which may be required for some families like mine) - Jetstar AU $85 (no fees if poli / bank deposit or $93.50 by CC) - Expedia JP - Y6500 ($69.02) including CC fees and Expedia fees.

Christmas Day rates have come down on Jestar.com.au since last weekend when I booked, but I still saved over $150 for 25/12 (first flight down) to Sunday 28/12 (evening flights back) for 2.

Wow, it is sooo much cheaper. Perth to Singapore return for under $200, where as you pay over $300 through the aussie site. Thanks Ferni
