QANTAS's domestic sale(s)

[JohnK]

Perhaps this sale isn’t for you then.

Perhaps not.

The only flight I have booked for OzFest is an F lounge run the Thursday before

As long as more "enhancements" are not announced before then and QF19 is still scheduled to operate SYD-BNE-MNL on Thursdays.

Thats the gamble I suppose, not often you get dry season airfares for that money.

God knows I have gambled on everything, and anything, in my life but this may just well be one gamble I don't take.

Hey, the fares are as inexpensive as they are just about going to get for QF.

Plan for the future! What is it? $79 SYD/BNE ...

You need a platinum for that run as well, and how do you know you won't be working by then.

$79 BNE-SYD isn't to bad but for some reason my credit card is full again.

There is no doubt the fares are about as good as they are going to get for QF.

I am not so sure about my future....

If you do not plan, what happens when it arrives and you are not ready?

Anyway, I just availed myself of the $119 each way for the FT AGM on Feb 19th Next year.

You are right but I don't want to give QF anymore changes fees than I have to right now.

The flights I had booked for this weekend were $79 each way and I have re-booked them for February with the current $79 sale and if you take the change fee into account the new flights actually cost $104 each way which is more than the normal red e-deal.

I have another return flight in 2 weeks which will more than likely need to be changed as well. I am even thinking my Christmas trip to Thailand is in jeopardy. I think it is best I do not book anymore flights until I have fully recovered and have decided I will be staying in BNE.

Apologies for going way off topic.

Change fees are an important part of assessing whether a fare sale is of value

Some sale fares seem to have been loaded today - till 01 Nov.

Saw the same, looks okay.

Couple this with the 50% off JQ sale with similar dates and there’s some fun to be had

Nothing for May 2011, so the wait continues; but like always I am over spending, a full credit card.

 

[medhead]

Might finish off my February bookings with this sale. But will bear in mind my newly acquired gold status as well.

Of course, I did put in for a different job this week. Might not be good have a heap of cancellations to do.

I note BNE-DRW for OzFest dates is actually $179

Hmm… to book now or book later :?:

Looks like a good deal.

And if one cannot make a commitment until very late in the piece the airfares and accommodation (based on todays room rates and demand) will be through the roof. Oh well....

 

[samh004]

Looks like a good deal.

$179 there on QF to arrive middle of the day, $129 back on DJ arriving Monday morning, I think I’ll be buying some airfares later on.

 

[docjames]

$179 on QF to DRW is a good price.

Agreed. Even more rarely, it even (partially) covers school holidays. Plus the fares are a little better than they have been.
