Commiseration event - 1 year after the loss of anytime access.

Some changes to my travel arrangements, so I will be in Australia all of next week.

Not sure about FLounge run... I can see some seats on JQ35, but they are about $350 for Y. So might as well go Y+ for the same money.

Interesting that there's $349 Y seats currently available. They appeared to be totally sold out earlier in the week.

Had a look at availability using the multi-city tool on QF website & QF501 is showing available for any seat awards with JASA's 22,608 or (16,000 points plus $66.35) & YASA's 13,382 or (8,000 points plus $50.83).

JQ35 does not show at all on QF website.

If JQ35 is showing available on their website does that mean they can do a Tiger price match? The cheapest fare showing now is $299.00 or $339.00 if you add the $40 max bundle to earn SC and points.

On hold to J* now trying to get price match.

Lets see how I go!!!

 

[Simo]

Got the price match....

I am now Platinum

 

[medhead]

Expert flyer now has it back at empty, except for J4.

 

[Simo]

Just looked on website and still selling tickets for that at $299 for Econ and $349 for business.

 

[medhead]

Strange, expert flyer maybe has a glitch with jetstar, or different availability in north America.

Some of us will be in the F Lounge in SYD at 07:30 for breakfast

I will be joining you for F lounge Breaky and also F lounge lunch as well.

So what's the plan once we arrive in MEL ex JQ35?

At the risk of appearing ostentatious there's probably enough of us to warrant getting a stretch limo as opposed to several silver top taxis purely for economics!

I was just looking at photos of the Holiday Inn on Flinders & it looks like very like The Banks Hotel almost 20 years ago!

Saturday arvo
Pre-dinner drinks at?:
Dinner at?:
Post dinner drinks at?: Might make better sense for these to be at the hotel where the majority of us are staying

Sunday
Breakfast at?:
AM transfer to airport?: How many of us fly out early
Lunch and or other activities?:
PM transfer to airport?: How many of us fly out later

Pre dinner drinks courtesy of virgin Australia. Lol.

No idea about real dinner. A local should recommend.

The bris people I've chatted to seem to be leaving early Arvo. But as hotel kick out time is 11 i think a mass exodus to qf j lounge will happen then.

Only my musings. Not set in concrete.

Dammit!!!!

The new roster suddenly has me off and available next weekend!!!

Maybe it's a blessing in disguise for me that JQ is sold out.....

4 is as high as it ever get with JQ.

i.e. They only publicly show up to a max of 4 for their fare booking buckets.

It could really mean J14 ...

Ring Jetstar and do a price match,

They did it for me.

When does the F breakfast end. I could be there by about 9:15 with some luck.

Thanks. I never knew that. I was also being a bit imprecise in my language. I should have said that all fare buckets displayed where showing 0 except J4. That they are still selling Y seats is even more interesting now that I know there could be any number of J left.

Breakfast is at least 11am.. :mrgreen: I recommend the Eggs Benedict!

Hmmm... looks like I could price match at $100 and book a YASA on the 8am QF flight up... decisions, decisions

1. If you're now off roster DF that's a sign you should be there!
2. JQ35 is not sold out, repeat not sold out. You can still do a TT price match.
3. Your SWMBO is O/S.

You've got all your ducks in a row - it doesn't get any better.
