Not getting Happy Hour confirmation email

Hi,

I have tried to sign up for Happy Hour emails, using two different emails, and Im still not receiving a confirmation email or the sale email.

Is there another way I can sign up or are other people having the same problem?

Many thanks,

Just got the email for today's specials Melb from $59 and Bali from $259.

I just booked flights to Melb a couple days ago so that's unfortunate for me

Re: Happy Hour returns

Some good flights.. Annoying that I booked 10 yesterday and now the majority have come down by 30-40% in price.. AGH...

Just booked 6 more for the next month.. ADL-BNE $89, not bad.. But not as good as staff rates ;-)

Off topic... psss... Velocity Frequent Flyer, if she/he/it is still on here, a lot of people like me are not at all happy about the QFF/QFFF program changes.Pass this to some top person, even JB.MAKE IT VERY SWEET for us to change all our flight business to Velocity.I made many bookings to try Silver with our other Australian carrier, but what with their major changes, I dont get a chance.Lets do another Status Match, ...

Happy Hour Fare Summary

MEL-OOL for $79 is seriously good value. Sale fares have remained at the same price for what, 5 years?!

Note sure about the five years but I do note there's no H/H sale for the return OOL-MEL.

Re: Happy Hour returns

I remember in the early 90s an $85 OOL - SYDNEY fare was considered great value. Now I hunt around for $59 fares.

The Australian airline industry has come along way since the bad old duopoly days.....I recall paying $600 return Y seat, MEL-PER in '83. Mind you, we did get a meal which was a meal.

I sometimes find myself wondering if the duopoly days are on the way back in.......like a distasteful fashion or hair style!

Darn. I keep missing this and I need some flights.

MEL-OOL last sale was $89. And then one before. SYD-OOL was $59 and I booked a few of these as I could not resist airfares that low.

Re: Happy Hour returns

Got onto those OOL MEL fares, the date fit my work schedule perfectly. Unfortunately didn't have time to buy a voucher via the entertainment book to avoid the cc surcharge and grab an additional 5% off. I was connecting through MEL Thurs afternoon on the way to PER on a tight timeline and booking everything on my phone. Pretty happy with the price.
