I am lost on this one, has anyone else been had this happen to them or is this a error on their behalf.
I was buying a MEL-DRW-MEL flight for someone flying in the return journey over the coming week, the best was around $800 return on Virgin. Jetstar was sold out outbound, and only had $539 fares on the return. No surprise, its school holidays of course....
So I let them organize it themselves, and they called the Jetstar call centre an hour ago and scored a seat $179 each way with baggage per sector and all fees included. The outbound was listed as SOLD OUT, and the return was $539 so how the heck does this work?? Overbooking? Don't carriers tend to usually overbook at the outrageous higher price, let alone have them available on the website at least....
I have even looked at the booking confirmation and cant believe how a call centre can price and booking like this...all dates and everything is correct.
Its my friends lucky day thats for sure...
