What a pity there's no $13 fare for SYD-MEL, could have made for a nice cheap FLounge run.

JQ19 SYD-OOL on Wed till 17 Dec. Shame that it's $129 for JQ19 SYD-OOL 0850-0915. JQ402 SYD-OOL 0740-0805 is $13 though.

NB, These sale fares are only available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

And website has crashed again ....

Sorry!

Thanks for your search.

Our website is experiencing very high levels of demand right now.

We're working as hard as we can to help you find the fare you want.

In the meantime please try one of the following, as it may help you find what you're looking for:

Wait 60 seconds and try your search again - Cheap flights - Jetstar Airways

If that's unsuccessful and you want to try again, please wait 60 seconds each time before you search to give yourself the best chance of being successful.

Or, try again in about 5 minutes. You should be able to see if the level of demand has dropped.


Thanks for choosing Jetstar!

And website has crashed again ....

You would think that Jetstar would have invested some of their hard earned profits on an upgrade to their website by now.

 

[Flashback]

Well.. they upgraded some of their systems :mrgreen:

 

[clifford]

I must remember this sale one Friday soon. :mrgreen:

So what are you doing on November the 5th, Bill?

I have no idea what I'll be doing, so I didn't book anything in this sale.

Isn't this how Jetstar (and others) makes some money? Sell cheap tickets to people many months ahead of travel dates, and hope most of them don't fly?

 

[Saab34]

Has this sale finished or is it running today??

 

[mrsjo]

I believe it is on today. I got an email about it this morning

I managed to get 2 rtns for $48 each for the middle of May. It works out at about $165 after cc and duties. With a DJ special of 25,950 velocity points PER-DWN rtn each, it should make for a inexpensive trip as long as my wife doesn't do too much shopping!
