[anchew]

Has anyone notice that prices on QF has gone up slightly with the new fare structure today?

After:


For CBR-MEL, the basic Red e-deal has gone up from $120 to $129, flexi-saver from $216 to $245 and fully flex from $416 to 469.

yes - the same happened for MEL-SYD - a nice way to sneak in a price increase with nobody noticing!

Good point re having to pay the fare differential. I generally get the benefit of the flexisaver when I'm already at the airport and I think I have always been able to change flights so long as there is a seat available.

Same.

I have NEVER paid a fare difference in my life with QF on a flexi saver using this approach.

Though markis10 is correct if you do it prior on the net etc you may.

Has anyone noticed that the price change means they are almost identical in most cases to the DJ Flexi fare?!

Seems like the same approach Jetstar took - give with one hand, take away with the other. Par for the course really, but AJ has been banging on and on about prices being unsustainably low. :-|

I'm looking at SYD-BNE, 2 weeks out and even that is coming in a bit pricey....

I'm prepared to wait a while before casting jugement of pricing changes upward.
a number of classes appear to be now selling at a pricepoint lower than prior to the new structure
Since class useage has changed eg E price (sydmel was 117ish)now in O class(112) and the new fares had an immediate sale/travel date ,those previosly booked in the various classes will impact availablility for a while moving forward.
So the O pricepoint being closer to the Old E class will probobly get the type of access E did . QF would have reduced O access in line with the new fare but would still have a lot sold in O at the old price. The "old sold"fares passenger numbers, I suspect ,are having an impact on current availablility.
Theres probably a TT impact as well on some routes
Thats what I figure with my retail background..doesnt mean it right just my theory

Wasn't Flexi Saver supposed to disappear?

Anyway FWIW I believe airfares have dropped $5 recently. The SYD-BNE red e-deal is now $112 where as it was $117 recently. Back under $100 is where it belongs....

No - Super saver was removed.

Aah that's right. They went from 5 fare buckets down to 4 including business class.
