Mystery Flights?

I still have my boarding passes (and paper tickets) from the mystery flight I did on the Red Roo in 1996

JerseyVics, your best bet for cheap local fares is this forum, where futaris and some others post the offers instantaneously.
Using alerts on google news is sometimes helpful, but I often find the specials posted here before the airline bothers to e-mail.

Check my bargainconfidential blog and sites like ozbargain.com (but we're all slow compared to futaris!)

Why not give me some $$$ and I'll book a flight for you, a mystery one too

Sure... I'll give you $50 cash... get me to Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Darwin, or Cairns any weekend between now and September.

Now that isn't a mystery flight anymore, is it? I thought its you pay me $50, give me the dates, and you will find out where you are off to only at time of check-in

In my experience you'd find out the night before, that was ex-PER though; may have been different for the eastern states!

haha... as long as $50 includes the price of the flight... you can certainly surprise me! Shoot, I'll bump it up to $100... return!

Hope you enjoy flying tiger with no luggage..........

I do enjoy flying with no luggage... in fact the very first time I had to check in a bag was on my flight from NYC to SYD!

I always travel light in the US... so why not here?

By the way, I love the mystery stuff with Virgin Blue... not that I'm discovering a new world here but they have some crazy unadvertised fares...

like SYD-CHC Go! fare for $50 each way... $230 total with taxes/fees (I'm going next weekend... May 1 thru May 4)

or SYD-TSV Go! fare at $75 each way... $150 return... lately they had happy hour advertised at $95 and $85 for a few days... but never for the days I wanted to go... last night, I snatched a seat for the FlyerTalk Cairns DO, leaving May 22nd thru May 24th


or TSV-CNS Go! fare at $49... probably not fantastic, but it was 50% off the Bluesaver rate... and worked well with my Cairns DO itinerary...



Now that the east coast is more or less done on my holiday, I'll have to start checking the Adelaide, Darwin and Perth flights... oh yea, Hobart wouldn't be too bad either but I'll leave it off for warmer months.

PS... if anyone sees a cheap unadvertised fare and remembers this post, please do not hesitate to mention it... especially if its for a short weekend trip... chances are I'll take advantage of it while still in Australia. Thanks!

Mystery Flights are still up and running - simply enter Mystery Flights in Google.

I have just returned from a great trip with them - with everything included. They even have a South Pacific option
