Virgin Happy Hour [Thursdays]

Do Happy hour fares include SCs, points, seat selection and lounge access? SYD-OOL for $70 sounds too good to dismiss.

Yet another reason why we shouldn't trust airline (or most other) rewards programs.

Funny you mention that and I'll go off topic for a minute.

The Treasury Casino's loyalty program is undergoing some changes. The absolute dollars which one could use for shopping have been effectively halved from 08 November. The snacks in the members area have gone from a packet of 90g sea salt chips to a 47g scoop of sea salt chips in a small bowl. They empty the contents of a bigger bag of sea salt into containers and handle the scoop and put back in container.

Saving peanuts of already pitiful rewards.

That ditty will win many a "who is the most stingy" argument. Just take in your own bag of chips?

SYD-TSV is never on sale any more, not the last six months. I think the direct flight (VA1519/20) is finished now?

Va1519/20 still operates > https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/va1519

Sales are about supply and demand. If the airline is able to fill up a plane with the lead-in fares or has little competition the changes of a sale slim down. Airlines have various sales on all year round and every route is not going to be on sale each and every time.

If on sale or not, you always have the option of using promo codes to receive a discounted rate.

Yeah I use the codes every time I book for 10% off which is better than nothing I guess. I've tried booking some days and it doesn't seem to be operating - haven't done so recently though. It's only every about 60% full though which made me think it would get the chop some time. A pity as the only other direct flight is DeathStar, if it still operates.
 
Latest Happy Hour had this. Which one do I choose?

Didn't click on it so missed that. Odd way to do it though.
