But when you go into the booking process there is a little note: "Seating will be in Economy" Now why would I buy a Business Class fare that seats in Economy????

I have a feeling that the website simply hasn't been updated yet since they have bought the J Cabin onto the V Australia fleet just recently on Aus > NZ routes, but you raise a good point

I tried a dummy booking and could only get row 3.

Snagged SYD-LAX for a conference in August and upgraded. Was tempted a couple of weeks ago at $2650, given upgrades were still there and I kicked myself for not moving then, I didn't want to regret again.
So a few more $ for a bunch more SCs and confirmed business for the longhaul.

Here's hoping they don't come out next week with the flat $2k PE seats again!

I tend to completely forget about the Happy Hour sales as, although I still receive the emails, nowadays they don't arrive until well after the sale finishes. Over the past couple of weeks, the email didn't arrive until after 11pm (Perth time) and yesterday's one landed in my Inbox at 3.22am today!

And now it's just getting a bit ridiculous - the email for yesterday's happy hour didn't arrive until 7.13am today.

$2700 for BNE/SYD-LAX PE this week. Website says one way, but it's actually return. Good range of dates too.
 
Re: Happy hours not so cheery anymore

I saw that - also thought that SYD or BNE to LAX for $1100 one way was not particularly happy given I'd paid $1050 return not that long ago (Oct) for June 2015.

So perhaps they are return fares.
 
Re: Happy hours not so cheery anymore

Early December and early January not so Happy Hour fares again.

I said I wasn't going to check again....
 
Re: Happy Hour Returns

I received an Email from VA that for Velocity members, Happy Hour will be available from Noon today ...
 
Re: Happy hours not so cheery anymore

It was 12pm last week too I believe.

Many thanks for the tip serfty, if I relied on VA to let me know, I'd never hear of these things!
 
Re: Happy Hour Returns

Just got my 1200-1600 happy hour "sneak peek" at fares that are more expensive than usual. What is the point?

Re: Happy Hour Returns

The not so Happy Hour preview. Why bother again? A lot of huff and puff for nothing.
