Fares quoted are departing Brisbane to Newcastle. Fares are on sale from 12:01am AEST 27 August 2013 to 11:59pm AEST 30 August 2013 unless sold out prior, for travel from 16 October 2013 to 31 March 2014. All fares are subject to availability and may vary until ticketed. Seats are limited and may not be available at peak times or on all flights. Fare price is based on a Business Saver Fare. Fares are correct as at 27 August 2013 and are subject to change. Fares are one way on the internet, or $35 more by phone. A Booking and Service fee of $7.70 per person per booking is applicable for all flights within Australia when paid by credit card or debit card. Fares are subject to change. Fare includes 2 pieces of checked baggage up to 32kg each, excess baggage charges apply. Conditions apply. Visit www.virginaustralia.com for full terms and conditions. Name changes are not permitted. Flight and date changes are permitted up to 24 hours after the flight. Cancellations are permitted up to 24 hours after the flight. Please refer to www.virginaustralia.com for fees and charges associated with flight changes, cancellations and refunds. Conditions apply.
 
All sales are welcome however I can't help thinking it looks like an exercise in trying to deflect attention from fare increases after the sale period ends. Headline fare BNE to NTL is a good saving albeit for a 1hr flight on an Embraer, other sale fares less generous (eg $80 saving BNE PER). Earlier sales have seen better fare reductions on business.

I completely agree with you - the whole fare increase has really annoyed me, considering its the second this year. Flights are going up faster than smokes. That all being said, I will be taking advantage of this sale by cancelling a few of my flexi-business upgrades and changing to business. Well worth it to keep the points, and earn more status & ff points.
 
I remember the good old days (6 months ago) when you could do MEL-BNE-NTL in J for just 14,000 points and collect 100 Status Credits at the same time!

I spent several Saturday afternoons doing this!
