Re: Jetstar Super Special - Do You Know What It Is?
It will be a sale where their servers will melt down and not be able to handle the requests. Your ability to actually get one of the sale fares will be determined by whether you
a) get any response from the server
b) get a response that says 'oops, we are incompetent at capcity planning for web hosting'
c) actually get a sensible response from the server

Re: Jetstar Super Special - Do You Know What It Is?
I think last May they ran a 2 for 1 specials to international destinations (I effectively picked up a flight to KIX for just over $500 return) - it may be a bit hopeful to think it'll be on again but here's to dreaming...

Re: Jetstar Super Special - Do You Know What It Is?
I just hope somebody posts details here when it happens.
I usually get the promised email for these sales days after the sale has finished (if I receive the email at all).
My level of cynicism for Jetstar 'sales' is about the same as oz_mark's.

Re: Jetstar Super Special - Do You Know What It Is?
LOL very true.
Seeing as JQ turn 5 this year, I'd guess something like 50,000 seats for $5 or something gimmicky like that.
As previously stated, it's more appropriate to guess it'd be something like '50,000 seats for $5 available for 5 seconds before our coughtastic servers give out again'
Travel periods will be exactly when you don't want to fly.
I'd wait to see if TT respond to any sale. When it comes to availability and websites handling capacity, they beat JQ all over the park.

Re: Jetstar Super Special - Do You Know What It Is?
Pretty long lead time from the sale to when you can fly as well.

Re: Jetstar Super Special - Do You Know What It Is?
Is about as much as most people will see when they visit jetstar tonight.
That and the standard error message.

Also, note this caveat this year. Ever since Tiger came to market, they've been charging an extra $10 for checked baggage, i.e. marketing the JetSaver lite prices only.creeno said:
