I need to get groceries, so it better not be done and over with before I get back!

So they started teasing this yesterday - wonder when they're going to deliver the news. Surely it won't be a repeat of the last one for MEL-SYD?

Better to be safe and order groceries online..less risk of missing the sale.

Are those prices actually any good after factoring in any extras like baggage fees and the Jetstar 'suck' factor?

They're not bad, but not where I want to go as usual. With the JQ QF offer there's some good SC's on offer there, but nothing to write home about.

Maybe I'll visit MKY for the day.

Silly question, what JQ QF offer?

Frequent Flyer - Member Specials - Flights - Earn Status Credits on Jestar Flights

Now how the devil did I miss that?

 

[djfuzz]

Don't get too excited - it's for NZ residents only.

Yes, NZ residents *shifty eyes*

Hmm it accepted my registration ... well guess I'll find out in dec when I've got 2 interNZ flights.

 

[djfuzz]

Has anyone actual got it to work for a non-NZ based QFF account?

Somehow I can't quite imagine how QF could let something that straightforward through...

After the flights have posted to your account (and credited as nothing) you have to wait till the 2nd of the next month for a script to run and the SC's to post. As the offer ends this year, I'm guessing they'll post Jan 2nd, assuming they posted to your online activity statement before the end of December.

I was legitimately living in NZ earlier this year, so changed my primary address to Queenstown, while my shipping address is still Australia.

I've so far earned 45 SC's, with 15 still to post and maybe a few more flights to take before the year ends.

Mmmmm;
Call me pescimistic, but to my mind a JetStar sale consists of fares ranging from 1c to $29 for popular routes, circa 2008.
Remember these?

That's what I was hoping for. The last time they did a JQ Twitter sale the flights were 1 cent each, although they sold very quickly that time.
