Pricing as $48.00 (although initially says $48.70) on zuji.com.au (if you force the search on Qantas) by default only showing Virgin.

Also No Virgin response on Happy Hour

Hi all,

It is something that has come up on AFF a lot so really glad we can announce this one - three flights per day on a Boeing 737-800 with Faster Smarter Check-in kiosks and Q card readers at the airport in Coolangatta. You can book flights from today (special launch fares ) with travel starting from the end of October.

Cheers,
Red Roo

So... Gold Coast lunch Sunday 28 October, take the inaugural 9am SYD-OOL.
Back on something that gives lounge access!

I am thinking of booking a day up on the 28th, MEL-SYD on QF400 then SYD-OOL on QF860, all books for only $88. Haven't looked in to a return yet but either JQ or DJ, anyone want to catch the inaugural flight and grab lunch on the Gold Coast before flying home the same day?

Qantas.com is not fixed for MEL-OOL....

 

[LiamR]

Just booked on the inaugural Qantas flight from Sydney. Woo Hoo!

Mac just went flat so I had to book from my iPhone. Impressed with the mobile website.

There will be a BBQ at my place as part of the closing out of AFF6 on that day. If we can’t convince you to spend the weekend, perhaps just the afternoon!

 

[penegal]

There is an AFF meet already scheduled for the Gold Coast over that weekend... Now to incorporate the inaugural flight as well

Just booked my +1 Syd-Ool return in Jan 2013 for $96.01. Not sure why the additional $0.01 but anyway...

Who's running Qantas and where's the real AJ????!!!

Quick - while he's still drinking the funny punch:

1/ Lounge access at OOL..??

2/ Can we pretty please have QF921/932 back???

 

[samh004]

1/ Lounge access at OOL..??

It’s coming back… it’s in the announcement that they’ll refurb it by year end. It’s actually bad news really, as the bar in the JQ offering is open all day, in the QP it’ll be a 14:00 thing…

sadly I think this is where the A/C has gone. If QF could do the following I would be so so happy! Allowing my valuble connections to DFW and MHU!

I would hardly call what they will serve on that flight a 'meal'. It's barely a 'refreshment'

 

[AaronBradford]

I'm also booked on the inaugural!

Red Roo,

Will the Jetstar Lounge Entry Terms and Conditions be changing in the interim until it becomes a Qantas Club? Obviously these T&Cs were written when QF services were not operating at OOL, but now that they will be... will a QF flight be deemed as a "qualifying flight"?

Lounge Terms & Conditions | Jetstar

1.5. Entry is only available to those passengers departing Gold Coast or Auckland Airports and being:
1.5.1. Passengers starting their journey on a Jetstar domestic or Jetstar international flight departing from Gold Coast Airport.
1.5.2. Passengers starting their journey on a Jetstar domestic flight departing from Auckland Airport.
1.5.3. Passengers connecting from a domestic flight to a Jetstar domestic flight departing from Gold Coast Airport or Auckland Airport.
1.5.4. Passengers connecting from a domestic flight to a Jetstar international flight departing from Gold Coast Airport.

1.9. Platinum Qantas Frequent Flyer members and Chairmans Lounge members may present a current membership card as a valid form of Gold Coast Lounge or Akarana Lounge entry pass for themselves and two guests travelling on a qualifying flight. Bronze, Silver and Gold Qantas Frequent Flyer members and Qantas Club members travelling in economy must purchase entry.


** Timing of removal of ATA for Virgin Lounge becomes even more inconvenient!

Getting $188 O/W PER-xSYD-OOL on mainline!
