It is good to see that the JQ systems and proof reading are right up to speed as usual.

On the web page the heading above the the Starclass sale is listed as 'JetSaver Light# Fare'
 
Note that JQ's NZ and Singapore sites also have a range of sale fares. The NZ site (in NZD), eg:

$499 Auckland Singapore 18 May - 14 Jul; 2 Aug - 6 Oct; 26 Oct - 8 Dec 2011

$499 Christchurch (via Auckland) Singapore 18 May - 14 July; 2 Aug- 2 Oct & 26 Oct- 8 Dec 2011

$499 Wellington (via Auckland) Singapore 18 May - 14 July; 2 Aug- 2 Oct & 26 Oct- 8 Dec 2011

Undoubtedly the long way round, but MEL-SIN-AKL return for ~$1700 and 520 SCs!
 
Saw this, thanks, went to the jetstar mobile site and it says no sale fares. :rolleyes:
 
Still no sign of SYD-HNL or SYD-HKT on sale...with huge demand no need to put on sale right? Also noticed SYD-DEP Jetsaver Light is up a full $100 on 4 months ago.

Damn you strong AU$ and Asian beach holiday popularity!!
 
I jagged a SIN/MEL *class recently for A$350, purchased in S$ on the Singapore site.

What annoyed me was that I did not get notice of the sale, but my chum who NEVER flies JQ did and kindly told me. I am a regular on JQ flights. It only seemed to be available for 24 hours too!

Yes, how true. I would've booked a couple of * class flights recently, but the offer expired before I saw it.

Sharp practice?

BTW, these offers to Japan are quite good, but I don't have the time to go right now (I have 2 trips to Europe booked for that timeframe).
 
Another Japan Sale

Travel periods appear to be in the next two months or so. Sale ends midnight this Saturday (28 May 2011).

What is interesting is that in big letters the Business Max fares appear (which is the traditional Star Class as we know it). What surprises me is that the fares aren't surreptitiously much higher than what we are accustomed to for Star Class sales to Japan.

Then there is a smaller but still flashy print which says that you can get a standard Business fare for $549. Quite a small value for Star Class comfort, albeit with no points. (But for your run of the mill flyer, they really might not care, and - add to that - businesses as well!)

OOL - KIX        01 Jun - 27 Jul    $549

I guess we should not try to be too excited, lest JQ management get word and pull a BA Concorde trick, i.e. take advantage of the confidence and jack up the fares!

Nothing special...
 
Re: Another Japan Sale

Nothing special...

But most of the Japan sales of previous were never excellent on SC value in Star Class, especially since they stopped making the connectors in JQ Star Class or QF Business class. (Although a few years ago before many things, including JASAs, getting that kind of price was a good deal. It still is, considering that normal Star Class prices are / were considerably higher).

The cost has probably gone up but I was expecting the sale now to be Business, and the rack rates were Business Max.
 
I think I'll give up on sale fares SYD-HKT and SYD-HNL.
