Nah I believe it's 11:59 Monday night that it finishes roughly. They could phrase it better.

In my experience, it is really only up to about 23:45 it works. Actual responsiveness from the qf booking engine in the last 15 minutes tends to be a bit hit and miss.

I've noticed this myself, but put it down to server overload as many try to get their bookings done at the last minute ...

I would have thought it could cope better than that. I have managed to make a few bookings very close to the deadline and I have not missed out yet. But my sample size is small compared to some people here....

Re: QANTAS's domestic sale(s)

I'm waiting for the "restore customer confidence in Qantas sale". Should only be a few weeks away based on the hammering they've received in the last few days

PER has come down from the $219 it has been in recent sales. During sales DJ to PER generally is this much cheaper. During non-sales they are much closer together (DJ discounts more!)
